Are you proud of me for installing Linux so I can dual-boot my computer?

You should be more proud of me.

@SW-User I know that part. I don't know what dual-boot is.

@SW-User Partition your hard drive so it can boot up with either Linux or Windows
@SW-User dual boot means that he loaded a Linux OS on the same hard drive as his windows system. When you start the computer, it gives you a choice of which OS you want to run.
@SW-User Oh, and the penguin, named Tux, is the Linux mascot.🐧

@UnderLockDown Oh I did one better. I installed a whole separate SSD in the optical drive bay so my Linux OS has its own drive (but basically another partition I can choose while booting, yes).

@SalamiMule There’s a Level 10X’er right there! 🙂
@SalamiMule Good way to do it. Less of a problem if something happens to either OS.👍
