I've just upgraded my primary system from dual boot 22.04 and Windows 10
x64 Pro to 24.04.
The system is now running quite smoothly; thank you!
The move was triggered by the inability of the current version of 22.04
to support my nVida M5000 video card. The Linux version installed by
24.04 is now a step above that provided with 22.04 after an upgrade, and
this makes the proprietary nVida driver (550) fail to install when
upgrading 22.04 or installing 2204. fresh.
The system uses a 2 TB RAID 1 array (Seagate Constellation, 3ware 9750
controller) created as an MBR drive. 2 TB is the largest size MBR drive
for Windows 10 (it's running on 4 different systems in our house at this
moment). Since the T7600's were $125 each and 2 TB drives are $20 each
total system cost is very low.
Dual booting worked without a hitch after 24.04 installation. After an
update, however, the menu disappeared and I had to edit the grub
configuration to use "menu" instead of "hidden" after which dual boot
worked fine.
The PC is an old Dell T7600, dual Xeon , 32 GB RAM, which is quite fast
after OS startup. The UEFI implementation seems to be broken, I've been
unable to install using UEFI since installation media are not found and
I don't know enough about UEFI to redo the configuration. Discussion
online indicates the UEFI implementation was incomplete.
