    Hi!

    I plan to buy my first Clevo laptop, the Sager NP3132, in the next few weeks. I would like to set up dual boot for Windows 10 and a Linux distro (probably Ubuntu or Arch).
    I assume that both would work fine with single boot, but I wanted to check if there are any known issues with a Windows-Linux dual boot.

    Did anyone try running a similar setup on a recent Clevo/Sager laptop?
    And is there anything I should check with regards to the exact laptop model to ensure I won't have any issues?

    Thanks in advance!

    I'm not sure if things have come on but I think linux has issues with secure boot, this can be disabled from the BIOS.
