just dual boot ubuntu to your windows installation… in windows go to diskmanagement, … click on your windows partition and shrink/resize it… take out like 15-20 gigs and install ubuntu… take 12-16 gigs for EXT4 partition, and the rest use as swap partition… direct the boot partition to whatever disk your efi is on, probably the same as your windows installation unless you use raid and stick it somewhere else
300+ sols/s on 7-GPU rig, wondering how long it will last before crash
Yes please bro, that would be great…Never used linux before and windows has been crashing since day 1 for me… youtube or a step by step guild would be awesome.
