I dual booted a machine and I had to even unplug my windows drive to get it to install a Linux distro on the other drive. Windows really does not like playing nice with dual boot systems so it is always best to keep Windows on its own drive.

No idea if it will help you here, but everytime someone mentions to me they are having display output issues and they’re using Wayland and an Nvidia GPU, I recommend trying X to see if problem persists or not. If it doesn’t, I would suspect the GPU driver, but that is a VERY uninformed guess. Lol

Ahhh. Not just one state anymore. The principal developer from System76 got Colorado banned now as well. Lol
