Yes, I asked the question now here.

Thanks for your most unhelpful reply.

Maybe you could have spent less time by writing Yes or No.

Dual-boot what with Fedora? Windows? Another Linux? BSD? You haven't included enough in your question to make it meaningful.

Yes the lot

Or any you know of.

Do you know of one dual boot with Fedora?

With all the considerable lack of help in this Fedora forum I had to resort to google for the answer.

Dual-booting Linux distros simply means modifying grub. If you control grub out of Fedora, it should find the other distros automatically when you run the grub update, so you don't even need to edit. Grub can boot Windows too, so that shouldn't be a problem.

yes, what is involved to set up the duel boot will depend on you systems initial setup.

Usually it's Windows 10. Linux Mint finds the Windows and asks if you can boot alongside very simple.

Does the Fedora do the same or is it more complex?

Um. The forum rules say you’re supposed to do that before you post here.

Short answer to you OP is Yes. Knock yourself out.

I went to Tucson once to your prison to visit. I was chased by a sandstorm.

Not a very nice place, nearly got knocked out over the mountains leaving towards LA.

Ended up in this small town with tumbleweeds chasing us. Went to a restaurant especially good
as after eating the lights went out. They could not open the till without electricity so we all had free
meals.

Do you think American tills should have a rule that if the power fails that tills should be fail safe and open?
