I have my laptop set up right now to dual boot Windows and Vinux. I also
have a virtual machine in VMware Player, so I can run Windows in a
virtual machine under Vinux.
On my new laptop, which I'm in the process of setting up, I'll do the
same thing, except I'll probably use Ubuntu 16.04 for now instead of
Vinux. I'll also have a virtual machine in Windows where I can run
Ubuntu. This way, no matter which operating system I boot up in, I'll be
able to use the other simultaneously.

What I plan to do is dualboot Windows and Linux, so I can have Emacspeak and the
Windows audio games and such as well. I'll also try installing Linux, probably Arch
this time, using a flash drive which I am 100." sure that it'll work, as my old
one didn't even work in Windows, so I think it's gone rather bad.

I don't understand why you have trouble installing Arch. Are you using
the especially adapted talking arch iso image? If installing arch, this
is the one you should be using.

Installing Fedora is actually more difficult. Particularly tricky is the
stage of installation where you partition your drive--unless you're
happy to take Fedora's defaults. Personally, I don't support that
default simply because I find it wise to put /home on a separate
partition--but maybe you wouldn't care. That's certainly up to you.
As to what may have gone wrong in your Fedora installation, you've not
nearly enough info in your email. How do you know nothing went wrong in
the install? What messages did you see?
And, how do you know it's not booting? What is it you expect that isn't
happening? I'm presuming you're blind so aren't seeing screens. So, how
do you know what you think you know?
I'm not trying to be harsh. But your message really isn't explaining
anything useful for debugging.
PS: It will also be easier to follow your explanation if you can manage
to avoid run-on sentences.

Hi all. After using Windows for a month, after using Linux for two months, I've
noticed that everything that I do on Windows, I could do on Windows, and with
the Braille note Touch, I can get the Exchange emails from the training center
I'm attending, which mainly uses Windows. So, while in Windows, I burned a USB
drive with the latest Fedora image, using Rufus, making it bootable. So, The
installation went well, but after the computer restarted, and the flash drive
was taken out, no system came up. I've never seen that happen before, and
Googling didn't give any answers, so I'm stuck between Vinux, and Arch. Vinux
being okay I suppose, but out of date, and Arch being hard for me to install,
without scripts although the ones I know of are broken, but Arch is what I
like, because it has anything I ask of it. So I tried installing Fedora a few
more times, formatting the drive, but no luck. Then I accidentally pulled the
flash drive out of the USB drive for a moment, and when I push
ed
i
t back in, I couldq't load Orca when first starting up the installer, so the
data on that drive is probably corrupted. So, any ideas? Should I just go with
Vinux and deal with it? The last time I tried the instructions for installing
Arch, I got stuck on setting the clock and such, because the results I got were
not the results on the ge, so I'm just not sure what to do.
