Inspiron G3 15 3590, Linux Mint dual boot issue

There are a number of issues to address:

First, the system likely shipped in RAID mode - - and many (most) Linux distributions won't install natively with the drive controller in RAID mode.  

Second, if your system does not have the option of booting in Legacy (CSM Option ROM) -- and it's new enough it may not -- you will need a Linux distribution that fully supports UEFI booting.  Few do - the one that's the furthest along and the most likely to work are the last couple of revisions of Ubuntu.  You'll need to check with the Linux Mint community to see what the status there is, but don't be too hopeful.

If you change the system's boot mode from UEFI to Legacy - if you can even do that -- you'll find you need to reload Windows.  To change from RAID to AHCI, you'll need to alter the boot files for Windows, or Windows will not load.

Windows won’t load and you’ll get a BSOD from switching from UEFI to LEGACY.

Thanks. Is there any Linux distro I could use for dual boot on my laptop then or just there is no any solution to this issue?

Thanks. Any advice about installation instructions?

Ubuntu has the best shot at working correctly.

There are many ways to dual boot, and they have there pros and cons like: e.g. do you have more then one HDD?

If you do not have a 2nd HDD you are going to have too shrink your windows partition, and create a 2nd partition for Linux to install on.

Also the new motherboards are using  UEFI so it can be tricky to setup with out using a 2nd HDD.

Best thing I can suggest is to use a Virtual machine it allows you to run any operating system in windows. You can install the free VirtualBox or VMware Player, download an ISO file for a Linux distribution such as Ubuntu, and install that Linux distribution inside the virtual machine like you would install it on a standard computer.

Or 

Install Ubuntu via Wubi, this method is technically installing Linux, not running Linux software on Windows. You’ll have to reboot each time you want to use your Linux system just as if you had installed it in a standard dual-boot configuration.

However, Wubi doesn’t install Ubuntu in the normal way. Instead, it creates a special file on your Windows partition and uses that file as your Ubuntu drive. This means that you can install Ubuntu and use it without any partitioning and you can uninstall Ubuntu from the Windows Control Panel when you’re done.

Android.
And if you want android on your pc Android-x86 project gets you as close as you can get to true Android on your PC. Android-x86 is an open-source project that ports Android to the x86 platform, allowing you to run it on your computer instead of an ARM-based phone or tablet, or you could use Bluestacks 

Enjoy but I think using VirtualBox is the best option, also I have used it the most.

Guys, I gave up. I tried many things but it seems that I cannot succeed. I am really disappointed that it requires a lot of hassle to install a simple W10 and Linux dual boot like I did on my all previous laptops.

Thank you for your support and good luck!

My personal favorite OS is ParrotOS but your luck might be in that ball park.

I did post here, how to get around it, but it was marked as spam by someone and admin removed it and it was full of info on how to get around your problem, but anyway I'm sorry to hear you could not do it.

Could you try rewriting it again for everyone?

That would be nice

Yup.

I mean I installed Ubuntu on my XPS 15 2020 Model. 

The only problem I had was just that the display drivers couldn’t work for me.

Ok, I will write this up again, but I hope no one flags it as spam again. I will not go into detail on some of the different ways of doing it, i will just suggest them this time.

1. If you have a 2nd HDD this is the best way to add a 2nd OS to your system, that I have found over the years. I say 2nd HDD is best as you can loose both operating systems having them on one drive if one becomes corrupt of has a error.

2. Next way is to edit your boot master, this page how to dual boot operating systems will explain how to do it in high detail with images 

3. This method is technically installing Linux, not running Linux software on Windows. You’ll have to reboot each time you want to use your Linux system just as if you had installed it in a standard dual-boot configuration.

However, Wubi doesn’t install Ubuntu in the normal way. Instead, it creates a special file on your Windows partition and uses that file as your Ubuntu drive. This means that you can install Ubuntu and use it without any partitioning and you can uninstall Ubuntu from the Windows Control Panel when you’re done.

If the partitioning aspects are what’s holding you back, give Wubi a try. Performance won’t be quite as good as a normally installed Linux system when it comes to disk read and write times, but it should be faster than a virtual machine.

4. Use Virtual machines they allow you to run any operating system in a window on your desktop. You can install the free VirtualBox or VMware Player, download an ISO file for a Linux distribution such as Ubuntu, and install that Linux distribution inside the virtual machine like you would install it on a standard computer.

When you need to boot up your Linux system, you can do it in a window on your desktop — no need for rebooting and leaving all your Windows programs behind. Everything but demanding games and advanced 3D effects should work just fine, but you likely won’t want to use those, anyway.

Hope this helps, I use virtual machine with a 2nd HDD, I store all my different operating systems Data in the 2nd HDD.   

Thanks man. I won't try this soon due to I need my laptop for projects so no time to waste. However, I am saving this link and will try this in several months and post my results.
