Any glitches with dualboot? #4

Wann bring fedora on my new thinkbook. Thanks for your work... Looks like fedora is usable on the 13x Is there something to watch out for a fresh dual boot system? ...or just resize in Win and install fedora on the new spare space?

You'll need to disable bit locker encryption in order to resize the partition. You'll also want to disable secure boot validation on the Fedora side (mokutil --disable-validation). Windows Hello will be disabled after this operation, at least until you re-enroll your fingerprints etc.

Updated the readme with these notes.

It might be better, to resize in windows with the Win disk managment, so no change to BitLocker. I'll give it a try... Thx for the help and this github repo

for dual boot all I had to do is:

resize partition with disk manager in windows
disable secure boot in bios (F1 security->secure boot ...)
standard installation of fedora 40 with a usb mouse

your COPR repository is great, sound works out of the box. I had to install the trackpad module by hand... Is the kernel module for the trackpad (goodix-gt7868q.ko) in your COPR kernel? Maybe I did something wrong... :-)

The goodix driver isn't in that kernel package. I couldn't figure out a way to patch it into the kernel nicely, so I'm going to package it as a dkms module for now.

I've added goodix-gt7868q-dkms to the COPR repo, let me know if you have any issues with using it.
