Nope, Windows goes during partitioning, I'm not going to boot into that stuff even once. If I bought the laptop it's because I did my research and I am confident that I will be able to fully manage it from Linux.
- ChuckNorris89 4y agoI don't get what you were trying to add here besides things that have already bee said. If you did your research and made sure to buy linux supported hardware, then good for you mate, you're free to do whatever you want now, but for us with less linux friendly hardware or unknown to the user, my point still stands, you should first update everything under windows (including usb-c/thunderbolt docking station FW) to ensure a good linux experience later.
- bastard_op 4y agoI keep the windoze partition on my thinkpad if nothing else to update the thunderbolt 4 dock firmware, as the TB3 dock just finally got fwupd support within the last few days and no telling if/when the TB4 will. It's an important part of my use, and was and is quite quirky under linux since I got it that has improved with firmware updates. I just resize it down to like 100gb that windoze can keep itself and the lenovo hardware updated when needed with their eazy button app native to their build, and build anything linux after.
