it should work BUT i highly suggest to change it

i used to use shareit 

the error message pretty much tells it all
gaming on linux NEEDs vulkan and your gpu does not support vulkan at all

Microsoft wouldn't be able to trigger things to disable it on the bios level.  At this stage it's like saying how do we know the Microsoft isn't going to create a backdoor and monitor all keyboard strokes on the computer.
 
If they make a move to make the bioses released without an 3rd party option then we can talk, but if it's simply having it first party on by default I really don't care about that.

Learning doesn't help for those who've already spent $1000, $2000, or $3000 on a laptop and cannot return it.
 
While I can understand the logic behind locking down devices, consumers MUST be educated by the manufacturer about this at or before point of sale so they can make an informed decision as to whether a locked down device is right for their use-case.
 
It's really no different than purchasing a motor vehicle - it's just that motor vehicles don't prohibit the installation and use of third party wheels & tires (yet) so one would never think to ask the dealership if there are any protection mechanisms in place to prevent this.

I never said it was, but perhaps phrased that poorly.
 
What I meant is that it's the manufacturer's responsibility to ensure all product "features" are clearly disclosed to potential customers. If a customer wants a training class on Secured Core prior to purchase, they should self-educate, however, manufacturers must clearly disclose product limitations.
 
This would be akin to vehicle manufacturers not advertising a new safety "feature" that disables a vehicle should you pull down the headliner to route dashcam power cables. They can implement this, but must disclose this feature prior to sale so customers can decide if that vehicle is right for them.
 
Correct; however, I've never seen "Secured Core" advertised outside of the Enterprise space so regular consumers wouldn't even know to look for this prior to purchasing a machine, let alone understand that "securing the boot process" means they can't boot into their Operating System of choice.

Note: if this feature only makes its way into the Enterprise market, it's a moot point for consumers.
 
All I'm saying is that manufacturers must clearly disclose all product capabilities so consumers can effectively perform due diligence prior to purchase, whether that's taking a training class or asking the manufacturer's support team (not sales) if product Y can do action X before purchase.

(Warning -  This is a bit of a rant.) 😤

They stand to gain more data on you and control too.
This is why they don't like Linux.

It's a load of bullshit newer hardware doesn't work on an OS like Win 7 for example because MS "says" it shoudn't even though it can and does just fine.
What they chose to disable with newer chips and Win 7 is really specific about the user's control/interface, namely with USB ports.

They refuse to support it and have even gone as far as to tell AMD and Intel to kill Win 7's USB functionality even if it's working fine with the old chip. It's when a new chip is simply dropped in the board it gets snuffed.
The USB port(s) were working great, you upgrade your CPU and ONLY your CPU - USB stops working and you can't get it going again in the OS itself, EVEN if you swap the old chip back in and try it.

It's also funny even with that, these same ports DO work before the OS itself is loaded. You can use a USB based keyboard to access the BIOS during bootup no prob but once the OS itself loads it no longer works.
I hope that may help to understand some of the "Why" behind these things and also why they are actually afraid of Linux. Their own, self-created and implemented bullshit has caused many to ditch Windows as their OS (I"m one of them) and glad I did.

All this was done intentially to FORCE you to go Win10/11 and all it's invasive snooping/telemetry (Spying).
The biggest hook of it all was of course, gaming and they knew it when they did it.

The latest about TPM is yet another nail in the coffin of users having any say or choices about their own machine.

OK - Rant over, have a nice day guys. 🥵

the video pretty much explains it all, microsoft wants to further monopolize the pc space
either they are afraid of linux's progress in the past few years or they gain something else from it 
nonetheless it just further proves that microsoft never really abandoned the E.E.E protocol

FF XIV has a gold rating on protondb so there should not be any problems (that are unsolvable) regarding that
though i suggest you try linux in a vm first then decide if the core of the os or any specific distributions suit you.
now to some question:
why exactly do you want to dual boot?
what else do you do with your computer?
how tech savvy are you?

all card maxwell and newer

Personally I wouldn't buy a i5 11400 because of it being a cpu for a dead platform
I3 12100 would be better for gaming because of higher single core performance
Personally I would go with a i5 12400F

well i faced the same problem as well
i switched alt + shift to win(or super in linux) + space

You know side hustle is commonly used to mean anything that can make money on the side right?

I am not sure about the idea of giving linux to someone who never owned a computer.
 
Most likely after some frustating moments it will end up being replaced with windows (hopefully without me being thought of like I was scamming them). So if it's gonna end up like that, me, I'd probably just save myself some time and effort and sell it OSless. If I want to be kind I'd just tell them that I'll install the Windows for them if they come back later with the PC & a windows key.

Anyway, most kids probably gonna ask pretty much the same question : "Can it run fortnite/pubg/other popular games"

if its as old as you say there's a pretty good chance that you won't have any problems

william osman on youtube has a whole series on the subject go watch some of that play list 

too short for his age
