Dualbooting with Windows#
With systemd-boot it is relativly easy to install Linux and Windows
alongside. My suggestion would be to install Linux first and then make
space for the Windows install. systemd-boot will automatically find
all UEFI-partitions to boot from.
Over the time, problems can occure because Windows will do ugly things to foreign partitions, when it updates. So be prepared.
Error Preparing initrd: Volume corrupted#
The Windows install will probably still boot.
- Boot with a live medium.
- Make a filesystem-check on the boot partition and approve the
fix-prompt with:
fsck /dev/sda1 - Re-generate the boot-image with:
mkinitcpio -P - Reboot.
pacman#
To ignore updates/replacement for a package, you can add it under options, e.g.:
[options]
IgnorePkg = ttf-sourcecodepro-nerd
I already have nerd-fonts-source-code-pro installed via the AUR, so I
ignore the native arch-package.
