UEFI support? dual boot?

Hello

Does Bunsenlabs support an EFI installation?

I would like to install it alongside Windows 10.


Thanks

Re: UEFI support? dual boot?

Yes, the current (Deuterium) release should support UEFI installation.

Be sure to test hardware support in the "live" environment before installing, our kernel is quite old now so some newer stuff may not work optimally.

Will do.

Why do you have an old kernel by the way?

Bunsenlabs is based on Debian Stable, so it uses the current Stable kernel. With the proviso that we are a bit behind, now that Stretch is the new stable, and we haven't released BL Helium yet, except as a development iso.

You can usually upgrade the kernel from backports safely enough.
