[Distro Links in OP] Linux, Software and Support
that means that you are trying to duel boot instead of dual booting.The problem is Windows is on an insider build and apparently Windows update sometimes messes up Linux. I don't feel like reinstalling Windows on top of it, but I can if I have to. I'd recommend dual booting, then if you realise you need to do something on the other OS you can easily switch back.
Differences between dual booting and duel booting
- Dual booting is where one installs an operating system on 2 different drives and boots between the drives to switch between 2 operating systems. This results in peace.
- Duel booting is where one installs 2 operating systems on a single drive and the 2 operating systems fight for the bootloader. This results in pain for the user.

Sign on the M18 Motorway warning that horses, horse-drawn vehicles, pedestrians and bicycles are forbidden.
Road signs in the Republic of Ireland do not differ greatly from those used elsewhere in Europe – with the notable exception that hazard or warning signs follow the “New World” style of a yellow diamond. The symbols used on these warning signs do, nevertheless, resemble much more closely those used (on red-bordered white or yellow triangles) in the rest of Europe than many of those seen in the United States.
Typical road signs in rural areas of the Republic of Ireland. Here, a fingerpost with old road number and Bord Fáilte logo. Signpost located in Rathangan, Co. Kildare.
Regulatory signs (relating to limits and prohibitions) differ very little from those used in the rest of Europe.
The system of directional signs is based upon, and is very similar to, that employed in the United Kingdom, but is bilingual everywhere except in the Gaeltacht, where only the Irish language is used on signs.
In Ireland, the highest category of road is a motorway (mótarbhealach, plural: mótarbhealaí), indicated by the prefix M followed by a one- or two-digit number (the number of the national route of which each motorway forms a part). The motorway network consists entirely of motorway-grade dual carriageways and is largely focused upon Dublin. There are also several three-lane motorways, while Ireland's busiest road, the M50, incorporates four-lane, five-lane, and six-lane stretches.

I decided to dualboot, and so far, everything is working fine.

I use macOS and I am happy with it, why should I switch to Linux? I have the flexibility of a terminal and a really good development environment (I hate windows)
I do also want to try it some day, but later when more software is supported (office) and then I will think about it.
yeah windows is flawed it always messes with my settings and its confusing, as a windows user, i agree, mac sounds way nicer
i'm brain dead aren't ii usually use advanced topics or help with scripts but sometimes i can be found in things i'm playing and reading

debian netboot, you can get i386, do you have an ethernet connection and a cable?Oh yeah it needs to be 32-bit and the iso can be burned to a cd (under 700mb) What distro would you recommend to run on my IBM NetVista alongside Windows XP with 512MB of RAM?
here's the exact iso:
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/current/i386/iso-cd/firmware-11.3.0-i386-netinst.iso
install something light like fluxbox after installing is done
