[QUOTE="Mathew_200, post: 1025836, member: 96468"] When it comes to dual-booting with Linux, any of the Linux distributions you listed (Linux Mint Cinnamon, Ubuntu GNOME, and Fedora KDE Plasma) can work well. However, Ubuntu GNOME and Linux Mint Cinnamon are generally considered to be more user-friendly and beginner-friendly than Fedora KDE Plasma. Ubuntu is particularly popular and well-supported, making it a good choice for beginners. As for installation, you can install Linux alongside Windows without harming your SSD. In fact, dual-booting is a safe way to try out a new operating system without losing your existing data or programs. To install Linux alongside Windows, you'll need to create a bootable USB or DVD drive with your chosen Linux distribution. You can then boot your computer from the USB or DVD and follow the installation wizard to install Linux alongside Windows. When it comes to partitioning your drive, you can allocate a portion of your SSD to the Linux partition, as long as there is enough free space available. In general, you should allocate at least 20-30 GB for the Linux partition, although more may be necessary depending on your needs. Here are some general steps to guide you through the installation process: Back up your important data before you begin the installation process. Create a bootable USB or DVD drive with your chosen Linux distribution. Boot your computer from the USB or DVD drive. Follow the installation wizard and select "Install alongside Windows" when prompted to choose an installation option. Allocate disk space to the Linux partition. In general, you should allocate at least 20-30 GB for the Linux partition. Choose your installation preferences, such as your time zone and keyboard layout. Create a username and password for your Linux account. Complete the installation process and reboot your computer. Choose the operating system you want to use at startup (usually by pressing a key such as F12 or ESC). You're done! You can now use both Windows and Linux on your computer. Remember to consult the documentation and support resources for your chosen Linux distribution for detailed instructions on the installation process. Good luck and have fun exploring Linux! [/QUOTE]
