soumenHello 16:00
soumenI am trying to install xubuntu in windows 16:00
soumenI downloaded the iso file16:00
soumenCreated a space of 30gb from one drive16:01
tomreynsoumen: do you mean "next to windows", on the same disk?19:34
tomreynyou can't install xubuntu "in windows" (like something running within windows) unless you're referring to virtualization (WSL2/hyperv etc.)19:35
tomreynto install next to an existing windows installation (in a "dual-boot" setup) you just write the iso file to an installation medium and boot from that, run the installer and choose to install it side by side with windows (i believe there should be an option to do so).19:38
tomreynnote that with dual-boot setups, it is usually just a matter of time until windows deactivates the other OS'es bootloader, so you can no longer boot into Xubuntu until you fix this (which is a manual process)19:39
tomreynpersonally, if i needed to run both OSes, I'd always have Xubuntu as the main OS, Windows in a VM.19:40
