Dear Sup Forums
What should I dual boot my thinkpad with?
I have windows 7 pro and would like to add another OS to dual boot- I would also like to run VM's on the additional OS. And Im also trying to pursue a career in security.
Thanks in advance

I've installed Ubuntu stand alone before installing windows 7 again. Im assuming it will be the same experience if I dual boot it?

Thanks, I'll look into them

Eh except if OP is also gaymer in which case dual booting is good for them.

exactly the case

No, you should install Windows first and Ubuntu after so that the installation identifies Windows and do the GRUB shit
If you install Windows last, it will erase the GRUB, making impossible to dual boot.

dual boot two Gentoo, fuck windows.
