  • A little I guess. When I had finally convinced my dad to try out a dual boot, and was trying to install it for him on his new Threadripper system, it failed. The platform support Threadripper wasn’t ready even though it had been out for at least a little while.

    But I don’t remember the details it has been around 8 years. Nowadays I know to confirm these things first, so in a sense it was my own mistaken assumption. But still it fits the question because at the time I was disappointed.









  • I am assuming everything other than the two ext4 partitions will have to go.

    Your /dev/sda5 the FAT32 mounted at /boot/efi has to stay too! That’s your EFI System Partition, it’s essential for the boot chain.

    What you can do is delete the “Microsoft” directory that’s on there, but definitely keep the one named after your distribution!
