On a MacBook, you need to reboot and hold down the options key. For Windows-based laptops, you should be able to hit a different key to open a list of bootable devices, or change the boot device in the BIOS or UEFI settings. | On a MacBook, you need to reboot and hold down the options key.

+ | |||
+ | • Si vous voulez compliquer les choses et utiliser une partition /home séparée, vous devrez configurer manuellement la plupart des distributions. Je ne vous le recommande pas sur un disque externe, car ça ajoute une complexité supplémentaire lors du montage et à la table des partitions (surtout si vous gardez une partition libre pour des données aléatoires). | ||

From what I can tell so far, the downside is speed (a mechanical USB 3.0 drive isn’t as fast as an internal SSD). I would imagine you can improve the experience by using an external SSD, but haven’t actually tested this myself. | From what I can tell so far, the downside is speed (a mechanical USB 3.0 drive isn’t as fast as an internal SSD).

Other downsides can include battery life (as you’re powering another device, and in my experience, GNU/Linux power-saving isn’t always as good), and temperatures (Manjaro appears to not regulate the fans/CPU as much as MacOS did, so the laptop was running warmer than normal). These are both things that can be tweaked. | Other downsides can include battery life (as you’re powering another device, and in my experience, GNU/Linux power-saving isn’t always as good), and temperatures (Manjaro appears to not regulate the fans/CPU as much as MacOS did, so the laptop was running warmer than normal).

+ | **Conclusion | ||
+ | |||
+ | The installation and booting was much easier than I had previously experienced (my last attempt at something like this failed completely due to the drive not appearing in the boot menu). And the ability to boot into GNU/Linux using a device I typically have with me anyways (external drive) is nice, especially when on a longer trip (with a C&C deadline looming!). ** | ||
