It's fine IF AND ONLY IF you put each OS on it's own dedicated hard drive. If you partition one hard drive and put Linux and Windows on it, Windows is known to frick with your Linux partition.
Dualbooting is a pain and annoying. Just get separate machines. Also IMO, NVME SSDs are a meme and unless you're building a workstation or are an enthusiast pushing every bit of performance possible, just get a normal SATA SSD. They're easier to do maintenance on and you can just use velcro-dots to secure it in your rig.
building a pc is much easier than getting linux going on those little mini pcs, they REALLY try to make it so you can't get the malware off
Dual booting on a single drive can and will become a nightmare...especially if you try and keep secure boot. The only way to successfully run dual boot is with completely separate drives, or even better dont and use seperate machines
I have dual booted Linux and both Windows 7 and 10 for the last decade with zero problems.
Its not even remotely difficult other then the fact that shitty linux installers don't tell you what drive partitions you need when you manually partition a drive.
Install windows, give it half the drive or whatever you want, then install linux create all the partitions linux wants on the rest of the drive and grub just works.
I'm sorry, my response was wrong. I read that as an Intel minipc, but it looks like its an AMD minipc. As an OpenAI trained model, I make mistakes sometimes.
Don't dual boot with secure boot or Windows will frick Shit up bad. I can't roll keys into the uefi anymore because windows updated and saw an opportunity to frick shit up bad. The only good thing about Windows is win32 ridiculous backwards compatibility. Computing experience fricking sucks.
Yeah, both OSs will run great. Personally I'd get the N100 version because Intel always gets better single core performance, but either way, these things can cover all the bases for a basic work/entertainment setup.
If you skip secure boot it's gonna be pretty easy, seems a lot of people in this thread gets filtered by dual booting. Just install Linux first and then Windows and it'll be super easy and not a problem at all. Since you're probably not gonna be doing any heavy tasks on this I'm interested in why you'd even need Windows.
The other way around. Thank frick I don't use that clusterfrick called windows anymore. The only thing that kept me there was games, and now all my games work flawlessly through wine or steam's proton.
Last time I had a dual boot setup was probably 6 or more years ago.
I will never go back to Windows.
Dualboot is gay OP, don't do it.
Why?
Because it solves the problems of each platform

Oh, you are right
Good luck getting the bootloaders to not clobber each other
>microshit deleting your bootloader
>microshit scanning your linux partition
>having to reboot to do different things
just have the boot partitions on different disks
>having to reboot
its 2024 poorgay buy an ssd and this wont be a problem

I respect your opinion but I'm too moronic to build a pc by myself

its just adult lego anon, even my gf (female) did it
id like to smash your skull in.
why are you here? go away.

>Just get separate machines.
never run windows outside vm. just not worth it.

Its a fricking quadcore. Its use case is limited to browsing/youtube/light emulators.
If Intel releases a 4 heavy core (8 threads) + 8 weak cores version of it, then it might make sense. But this is just 4 weak cores.
Device is 8c 16t.
Basic reading comprehension, failed.

Considering 99% of shit gaming wise just works in wine, anything else you may need Windows for, just do it in a VM.

Wow, we've come far since having Intel NUCs stuck on the back of an old dell monitor at work
unless you want to mess with iphones/ipads or play AAAslop there isn’t much reason to dualboot windows imo

Thank you
no, use w11 for gaming and normalgayshit and use tails for linux schizo shit
>Will [...] windows 10 LTSC [...] with this pc give me a decent experience?
No.
>Will debian with this pc give me a decent experience?
Yes.
Yes. Next question.
For me?
Arch'd Thinkpad Chromebook and proxmox'd 5 year old gaming computer with windows 11 and containers for my piracy needs.
why would they opt for barrel jack when usb c was right there?
Dual booting sucks. The files you want or the app you need are always on the other side. Get a 2nd computer to install Windows on.
Linux can natively read and modify NTFS partition.
>"Dual boot"
Plebs are so funny. I run 6 OS at the same time
no, because dualbooting is gay

Had only issues with dual boot last time i tried it, especially when you use docker and have some shared partition mounted on both systems
It gets worse when you like to hibernate instead of shutdown
How's the cooling of this thing?
Can it run at full power nonstop or does it throttle?
>dual booting windows 10 LTSC
Why do you need to dual boot windows in 2024? Most games just work through steam+proton.
>Why do you need to dual boot windows in 2024?
true, just use windows and WSL. there is no need to install linux.
The other way around. Thank frick I don't use that clusterfrick called windows anymore. The only thing that kept me there was games, and now all my games work flawlessly through wine or steam's proton.

>Debian
Unless it's Sid, you're just asking for trouble.
Debian stable works fine. Old software is fine, just install the backported kernel if you need it and you're good.
No. Windows will nuke your Linux installation on every single update.
