    Recently I fixed a laptop with Windows Vista and I wanted to dual boot Ubuntu and Windows. I looked at a bunch of videos, tried a bunch of things, and after about 4 hours I decided to consult with some people here. Surely out of everyone here there has to be someone running linux. Please help with either a simple video or detailed steps.

    Laptop Specs:
    Intel Core 2 duo 2.10 GHZ
    4.00 GB RAM
    Intel onboard graphics
    Windows Vista Home Premium [64-Bit]

    Thanks

    If you don't know how to dual-boot Linux then you should not use Linux.

    Linux requires certain know-how, even though Ubuntu's Unity desktop, or Gnome desktop make it easier, you still can't do much without knowing what the hell you're doing.

    Very true.
    Linux does require a lot of computer know how, and ability to remember commands.

    I personally use Kali linux a lot on my laptop, as well as Arch.
    As kuke said, if you don't know how to install an OS alongside windows, you really shouldn't be using it.
