So I have stumbled on plenty of Threads here and over the web. Thing is, dual boot installation on my machine (Alienware R4, 2017) seems to be really really hard - atleast for me.
So I managed to actually install it, but let me list few issues I have now:
- GRUB does not detect my Windows installation (I have Debian on HDD, Win is on SSD)
- If I want to boot to Windows I have to change from AHCI setup to RAID on (which was default before in BIOS, but had to change it so my Debian installation even saw the Hard Drive where I had FREE SPACE to install my Debian)
- Whenever I try to update my NVIDIA drivers, Debian wont load. It opens GRUB, I select Debian, it opens GUI for Login. I enter my credentials, it seems to load, but then it just brings me back to GUI for Login screen (if I purge drivers, it works normally). I need the driver in order ot enable my HDMI output to use dual Monitors (xrandr says HDMI is disconnected).
- Although I was told that Linux OS were supposed to perform better (faster), I feel like they are slower than Windows 10 - does this mean I screwd up something or my HW is just not that compatible with Linux,since it is a gaming laptop?
Now I know these are several issues, but might be connected to one mistake which some of you guys might help me out with.
My setup:
i7-6700HQ
32 GB RAM
Nvidia GTX1070
SSD 512GB (Windows OS)
HDD 1TB (Linux OS)
Killer Wireless Adapter
linux debian nvidia bios

I voted close as you have too many questions clubbed into one. Put one issue or question and share what all you have tried about it, then there is a much better chance that somebody might help you.
