> It’s not yet the year of Linux on desktop

Not for me. Coincidentally, I spent half a day yesterday with Gemini trying to install Linux Mint so that it dual boots with my Windows 10. Unfortunately - no matter what I did (and I tried a lot of things), the installer "couldn't locate an existing system installation" and warned me of losing access to my data should I continue.

Now, I am using computers since 1980s, and I said "Nope, I don't have time for this". Now imagine a casual user trying to fight with GRUB.



If you have Bitlocker on on windows you might have to disable it for dual boot installation to work (you can re-enable it later).


I don't have Bitlocker enabled.
