“I, personally, am not sure Which Drive, given the name “/dev/nvme0n1” you provide, is the Empty Drive awaiting Zorin - So, I cannot say whether that is where you should proceed. I am not examining your machine there so… As you say, you Do Not Want to mess up the machine you use for Work. So Please triple check the drive and make absolute certain you are choosing the correct one (in fact, I think this is why the guide you were linked to early on even disconnected the other drive with Windows on it.)”
…I have posted the pictures of what I get in “something else”…with all other info I provided such drive brand/size can"t you check this…?
Yes, you said the drive is a 128gig drive and posted screenshots. In each screenshot that shows drive "/dev/nvme0n1", all information next to it is blank. I do not see the size of the drive or any other information to confirm that is the 128 gig drive.
Perhaps others spotted something that I did not. But - it means I am not certain, given the information available- And certainty is something that you want.
EDIT: Nevermind! Apparently everyone else DID see something that I did not. I just scrolled up and looked.
It's right there. Hit me upside the head.
Grub Customizer is a graphical interface to configure the grub2. The application allows the user to add, remove, freeze, rename and reorder boot menu items.
Open up terminal by hitting Ctrl+Alt+T and run following commands one by one:
so you will be happy to know I could install Zorin…
Just I didn’t wanted to complicating the things with deleting some partitions etc…I selected /dev/nvme0n1 for the installation AND for the “Device for boot loader installation”.
then as mentioned I used Grub Customizer which allowed me to put W10 as 1st OS.
So far so good…expect Wine/Itunes which doesn’t want to install…
iTunes will install using Wine. I had installed some time back to try and recover an iPhone but iTunes couldn’t do that. You need Windows for any apple device recovery. However, to copy media from the iPhone, iTunes is not needed.
That is the entirety of my experience with apple on Linux.
Hey sorry for having a bad experience installing Linux… May you back to windows and fix things up back to the clean drive c and the new drive… I think you are ruining your disk…
Recap
In windows we use letters to represent drives
In Linux we use also letters but the syntax look like this, sda… sdb, sdc, and so on it depends on the distro but zorin use sd… If you see sda1 sda2 sda3 it represents the partition of the drive.
I think windows is installed to your sda you should install at sdb, you can use something else and select the sdb disk and select the / on the drop down menu so the installer will be the one to put the /home, /boot and other folders automatically
Thank you.
I managed to install it…slightly differently as you since I used the complete drive for it. I did not bother partioning it.
Now my issues are:
mozilla thunderbird does not work as expected (I have opened an another thread for this.
Itunes…which based on what I read so far seems to be impossible to make it work the exact same way as on Windows (this include synch of all my music library on my iphone)…not only make it work using wine or related and not being then able to synch…
shortcut made on my desktop for which one I will open later a thread
