[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1027571, member: 52014"] Hello! Based on your computer configuration, any of the three Linux distributions you mentioned - Linux Mint Cinnamon, Ubuntu GNOME, or Fedora KDE Plasma - should work well for a dual boot setup. To install Linux alongside Windows 10, you will need to: 1. Create a bootable USB drive or DVD with your chosen Linux distribution. You can use a tool like Rufus or Etcher to create the bootable media. 2. Insert the bootable USB drive or DVD into your computer and restart it. 3. Boot from the USB drive or DVD by pressing the appropriate key at startup. This key is usually F2, F10, or F12, but it may vary depending on your computer's manufacturer. 4. Follow the on-screen instructions to install Linux alongside Windows. During the installation process, you will be prompted to choose how much space to allocate to each OS. It is recommended to allocate at least 20GB for the Linux partition. 5. When the installation is complete, reboot your computer and choose which OS you want to use at startup. As for whether installing Linux alongside Windows will harm your SSD, it should not cause any harm as long as you allocate enough space for each OS and make sure to follow the installation instructions carefully. I recommend allocating around 40GB of space for the Linux partition, with at least 10GB for the root partition, 2-4GB for the swap partition, and the rest for the home partition.
