Any tutorial that fit these specifics
1 hour ago, Linus No Beard said:arch linux with kde plasma and dual boot on separate disks and grub is does not replace the windows boot manager
i have looked at YouTube but have not found any one tutorial with all of these
Assuming a UEFI system
1) Unplug Windows drive (not essential but good practice if you're unsure how to install grub on a specific drive)
2) Install Arch & Grub as needed (ArchFi will help)
3) Once Arch is running and you're at Desktop shut down
4) Reconnect Windows drive
5) Boot back into Arch
6) Use KDE Disks to mount the Windows drive
8) From terminal run "sudo pacman -S --needed os-prober" and install it
9)* From terminal run "sudo nano /etc/default/grub", look through the file for "#GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false" and uncomment it (remove the #)
10) From terminal run "sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg", Grub will detect the Windows drive as part of its scan and create a Windows entry in the Bootloader
11) Unmount the Windows drive since KDE Disks creates a permanent mountpoint is /etc/fstab
* If the command doesn't exist just add it in without the #
For an MBR system it won't be too different but I don't know the commands off hand.
