I gave it my best, but it seems my relationship with OpenSuse isn't working out and I'm going back to Ubuntu.
My current setup:
- Windows 10 Home (OEM installation from Lenovo) On factory HDD
- Opensuse Leap 15.0 On M.2 NVME SSD
Opensuse runs on the nvme ssd and windows on the factory hdd, and the two don't cross paths.
My concern is messing up the bootloaders. When I installed opensuse, it handled everything like magic and left me with a nice dual boot setup. Now I want to wipe the nvme ssd and install Ubuntu instead and have the exact same setup, but I'm concerned I might trash my windows boot.
My trouble is I don't get how the Ubuntu/Opensuse/InsertLinuxDistroHere detect existing OS's and create their boot menus. If I format that NVME drive and install Ubuntu, will Ubuntu setup still detect the Windows install and create my dual-boot option?
Also any tips on what to select when going through Ubuntu install would be appreciated.
