I second this. Other distros actuall advertise dual booting and include automatic tools in their installer to resize a partition and setup the installation. > > So, if we say "actually, don't dual boot, here's a whole 'nuther thing which > may require you to install extra software trust us it'll be even easier", a > lot of people are just going to say "never mind, Fedora is making things > complicated again", which is what I wanted to avoid in the first place. > > This is from by days in uni when I use to actively evangelise Fedora to fellow students. Most newbies look for easy to use guide for dual booting. The docs on docs.fp.o are too detailed to the point where people have found it completely confusing. So I used to have a PPT that showed how to dual-boot Fedora, I can share if anyone is interested. It worked for most Windows laptops with EFI. On the other hand, we need proper sections linking to either using Fedora as a virtual machine or dual booting on getfedora.org, right after a user downloads. -- Amitosh _______________________________________________ docs mailing list -- docs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to docs-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/docs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
