I have Windows 11 set up nicely for work. Stripped down, my computer is benching above every single other Geekbench entry for CPU and GPU. Nice and light.

I want to put Linux on there as well, on the removable drive slot. However, I know there's going to be issues with Secure Boot from Windows needing a trusted certificate from Linux. At the moment, the distros that supply one are:

>Ubuntu
>Fedora
>Red Hat
>openSUSE
>Debian

If I were to install something like Manjaro, would automating Secure Boot signing for the Linux OS become a total pain in the ass? Anyone with experience? Like everything, seemingly, with freakin' Linux these days as a layperson, I don't want to get rugpulled.

>Dual boot
What do you even want to do?
Why is a VM not enough?
Why not just own multiple devices?

If you're dual booting I'm guessing you're still pretty new to Linux? If so Mint is my reccomendation.
But just try all the distros. One will eventually stick with you for some reason or another.
>>
>>108908085
If you absolutely need secure boot for some reason, then go with a distro that's signed out of the box.

Retard.

If you just want Linux for compatibility reasons, any of those would be fine, but Ubuntu is the closest to a default version of Linux, IMO. It and Fedora have the best odds of being supported by any given Linux program.

>>108908085
i haven't used Ubuntu or Fedora in ages, but i would recommend openSUSE if you're gonna use it often since it's a rolling release distro and you'll likely want to keep it up to date. if you're just gonna boot it up every so often go with Debian.

most of my boxes run Debian anyways because there's pretty much no chance of anything breaking if you decide to update your software after a year

>>108908085
Basic bitch fedora kde just works
>>
>>108908085
>debian, ububtu, mint, opensuse, nixos
Obsolete trash or just trash, meant for servers or if your desktop is at least 4 years old. Plenty of dead-end shit like x11, which is being deprecated so avoid it (inb4: no stfu it’s dead)
>fedora, cachy, pop
Those are ok, fedora is probably easiest
The arch based distros are more usable than you’d expect, but i dont think theyre very reliable long term. My fedora setup runs problem free for 3 years now. Enable non-free repo for drivers and non-cucked software versions.

>>108910860
yes, people familiar with linux just use linux. retard.

*krashes*
avoid FEDora like the plague
