How to Dualboot and Multiboot Linux (and Windows)

In this video I'll go over how to dualboot and also how to multiboot, in order to install as many operating systems as you want! Grub is primarily used here but there are other options such as systemd-boot which I will cover in another video. I also cover an important step in order to dual/multiboot with Windows.

Finally somebody is telling about real multi-booting Linux distros instead of just dual-booting Windows and Linux on a virtual machine!!

Crisp and clear, no shouting or whatsupping, no ums or errs, and enough info to enable me to use it with some confidence. Subscribed.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! You made something that was new to me that seemed so hard and complicated actually extremely easy and enjoyable. Thanks for sharing the extra bit about what ifs and whys. Thanks for sharing your knowledge

[jimsmith]

You got a new sub, your clearly enunciated instructions with a consistent volume level throughout are a refreshing change for me. This is the third video I have watched of yours, it is the best multi-booting video I have ever had the pleasure of watching.

Thank you for this video. Finally - so many detailed and advanced tips here for multi-boot - not a high-level stuff like in other YT videos, that promise much but deliver little. 👍

[chromerims]

The way how Manjaro, Ubuntu and Fedora bootloaders interplay 👍 . . . really good that you showed these details. Thank you Dorian.
Kindest regards, friends and neighbours.

This is one of the best Videos for Multi OS Guide. Helped me a lot, and rEFInd is a must. I recommend setting a command to deactivate Grub from installing itself back when you do a system update.

Amazing video! Awesome job! I always had challenges understanding the dual-boot process but this video makes it a cake-walk. Huge thank you!

[juanpinzon]

Thank u for being a great human being and taking ti to help all of us noobs out cheers

Gparted live! *That's* what I was missing, thanks so much! I'm trying to dual boot my system for windows/Mint, but I already have mint installed, and I was wondering about how I was going to keep the mint settings that I've already set without formatting and re-installing everything. Now I know how I can format and resize the partitions I need, cheers and thank you! :D

damn... the most clear and complete guide on dualboot out there.. tks brow, amazing job

The easiest fix for the end-user until the developers fix the naming of the distro for the grub menu is to use grub customizer. Using that app enables you to go in and change the names of the distro as it shows up in the grub menu as well as remove the advanced boot options, the default boot, and the menu display duration. It is a gui app and not a CLI. If you dual boot or multi-boot it is a must have.

This has been the video I’ve needed for ages, Thank you.

Damn such a lovely and concise video, awesome!

[tsctdtx]

moral of the video : *sudo update-grub*

[TheBrainReal]

Thank you so much! After watching this, I am able to set up any hard disk with uefi myself, and now I also know how uefi actually works!

[scally]

this video is such a godsend. Fedora’s Anaconda is so whacky the way it doesn’t just take you to the traditional partitioning GUI. As a (somewhat) beginner this video probably prevented me from wasting about 3 hours. Subbed.

[Paulo-pvdb]

Thank you!!! Your videos are so good. I noticed you haven't posted vidoes in a while. Hope you are ok and maybe continue posting new videos that really helpful to almost 100k people!

[ali-dalloul]

Amazing!! You rock dude, one of very few videos were you understand everything explained

Put this video on thinking I knew enough about bootloaders, but nope, it wasn't until I watched this that it finally clicked for me. Because I grew up with DOS and Windows 3.11 and my first personal PC ran Windows 95, I've just always assumed that the last OS you installed would write over the boot loader like in those olden times. I messed around with Linux in the mid noughties and also played around with dualbooting and same thing, overwritten bootloader. It's not until now I really see the advantage of UEFI.
