Hello I'm having trouble installing any distribution of Linux

Dual boat: rather not


Although strictly enough space on the SSD is to install a Linux operating system, I guess. On the one hand, Windows partitions have the tendency to fill constantly and almost imperceptibly, on the other hand there are hurdles in the BIOS / UEFI and in the encryption.


In the delivery state of the Akoya the drive C: is encrypted with Bitlocker. This means that the computer only starts correctly in "secure mode". When I turned off the "secure mode" in the UEFI and rebooted the computer, Windows immediately debugged problems with Bitlocker encryption. In addition, no "legacy mode" can be selected in the BIOS / UFI; But this is a prerequisite for successful installation for some Linux distributions. And not least, the Akoya did not want to start from my Linux installation stick. For all these reasons, I've left my fingers from the setup of a dual boot system, as hard as I can.

Overall it sounds like this model computer makes it extremely difficult (if not impossible) to run anything but Windows.  Linux Lite in particular requires being able to boot in Legacy mode, which according to blog author is not possible.  Unfortunately there is nothing we can do to help you get LL on this computer.  Two distros that might be able to install with secure boot are Ubuntu and OpenSuse.  If you have no luck with either of those I doubt any will work.


If dual-booting with Linux is important to you and your purchase was fairly recent, I'd return the computer and get a different one that is not so locked down to Windows.
