Just bought a 1 TB SSD to put 6 OSes on my #Thinkpad: Debian-Testing (#Gnome / #XFce), #Mint, #ElementaryOS, #POP_OS alpha, #Kubuntu or #Fedora KDE (haven't decided which one of the two), and if it works with it, #Haiku.

I'd normally install #FreeBSD too, but I don't see it working as well as a desktop.

I'll be booting them with #rEFInd instead of #grub (easier than dealing with its rather deprecated os-prober).

#Refind is great. I just installed #Debian on a second ssd and it picks up both devices seamlessly.

How to dual-boot NetBSD and Archlinux.

Sometimes you need the opposite of _it just works ™_

Yes!
rEFInd with dual-boot. It was a bit harder than expected, but it worked.

It was a virtual machine, but I've written down all what I did, to make it happen in an actual laptop with two drives.

This is the year of NetBSD desktop! At least, in my house.

rEFInd – Le gestionnaire EFI / UEFI qui boote tous vos OS avec classe https://korben.info/refind-gestionnaire-demarrage-ultime-booter-os.html #gestionnairededémarrage #bootmanager #multiboot #efi/uefi #refind #linux

My new boot manager

Installed #rEFInd, which boots, asks for my LUKS password, successfully opens, then launches #GRUB which only gives me the option to go into the "BIOS" setup.

I'm done.

#MXLinux, you're up.

Un petit compte-rendu de l'installation de #Primtux sur un ordinateur portable loRdi fourni aux lycéen⋅nes par la région #occitanie avec la découverte de #rEFInd au lieu de #Grub "empêché" par HP/Microsoft (ça me conforte dans l'idée d'éviter ces marques).
