When setting up grub it cant find the efi directory. You gotta -use a switch to show that command that fails the efi directory. I forgor -the switch and I am too lazy to look it up but you can find it if the -<code>--help</code> flag. Also to dual boot with nasty nasty MS Windows(R) you -gotta install ntfs-3g for it to be able to read MS Windows(R) ntfs(R) -Microsoft(R) partitions. You also gotta set -<code>GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false</code> in <code>/etc/default/grub</code> and mount the MS -Windows(R) directory in the efi directory for OS proper to work -sometimes. -</p> -</div> -</div> -<div id="outline-container-post" class="outline-3"> -<h3 id="post"><span class="section-number-3">1.2.</span> After installing</h3> -<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-post"> -<ul class="org-ul"> -<li>Make sure you install a good ass DE or WM.
