Re: [qubes-users] Qubes booting in machine with Windows and Linux
Rafael and trueriver, you mean boot into BIOS each time to choose the OS? That's the way I have it now. I hit f1 upon turning the computer on to go into BIOS, and then I have the choice between Qubes or Debian (which is done through Grub, which also gives me the option to choose Windows). Or if I don't boot into BIOS with f1, it goes directly to Grub. Is that what you guys mean? As I mentioned in my first post, it seems that there might be a security benefit having it this way. Like trueriver said, people can potentially miss the fact that you have Qubes. And I think if the OSes aren't linked or don't know about each other, it's better for security. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Re: [qubes-users] Qubes booting in machine with Windows and Linux
I tried doing what you mentioned. It seems that I can either boot to Qubes OR Grub where I can choose between Linux and Windows. I would like the Qubes boot manager to control everything so when I start the computer, I can choose between the 3 OSes. What do I need to put into either Grub or Qube's configuration file to do this? I've looked up and tried different lines of code with no success, but I have no coding experience.

Thanks Chuck! I'll give this a try. On Tuesday, November 12, 2019 at 2:38:26 AM UTC-8, robert...@gmail.com wrote: > > Hi. I have a triple boot system.
