is there a way to dualboot Garuda with Windows 10? i installed the latter on an empty partition after setting up Garuda but now i don’t know how to properly have them both in grub again, is there a way to solve this?
Hi there, welcome to the forum.
First of all: can you boot Garuda now?
If not, and Windows boots by default, you’ll have to go to the BIOS and set Garuda as first in the boot order list.
If yes, have you tried
sudo update-grub
?

no, Windows boots by default, and Garuda doesn’t seem to appear in the boot list
and doing update-grub on the live CD throws segmentation faults
Open the BIOS boot menu and boot Garuda Linux from there.

Boot from a live USB and reinstall the GRUB

I didn’t see that because @filo edited his post.

doing “sudo grub-install /dev/sda” throws “failed to get canonical path of overlay”
Have you tried with the USB tool? Garuda assistant if the live USB is old or RANI now?

i’m booting the newest Garuda XFCE ISO with Ventoy
I’m not on my laptop at the moment and don’t remember RANI by heart. Too new. I guess there should be a functionality/button to reinstall the GRUB.
Anyway, to do that manually, check this tutorial:

For no Problems with the bootloader even after a update from win10 i suggest create another small partiton with 600mb in fat too.May the bios entries is their after install again.
like here seen:Update issue writing to EFI - #2 by Duke187
i dont have the xfce installed yet but i download it and do the right steps then in the vm and send pictures if you want for better understanding

It would be nice if you would stick to the forum rules and the topic template. So please post your
garuda-inxifrom a live environment.
Without garuda-inxi this request will be moved to 4xx Client Error > 412 Precondition Failed. -
Garuda Linux does not officially support dual boot, which means that it works technically without major issues, but you should be able to help yourself in an emergency.

We have already discussed this topic several times, so please use the forum search if the link from @filo does not help you.

Regarding your garuda-inxi issue
The first thing that catches my eye is the outdated BIOS.

Only use grub-customizer if you know exactly what you’re doing.

Are you holding back packages?

yes
it’s trying to replace pulseaudio with pipewire and i don’t want that
regarding the BIOS, i don’t know where to get the latest update
yes youre right.if i remember back manjaro used this and i had issues aswell. But i dont like Manjaro anymore because laggy updates failed boots after updates and so on so i backupped my data and deleted manjaro at all =)
normally he can choose where to install the bootloader but with manjaro is more tricky.
so i did install garuda linux.
