I'm 100% sure it won't be easy, but I've had a tab open for like 4months with instructions on setting up a dual boot environment. If I live image I'll get frustrated and quit. This way I can work on it a bit at a time.

    A live image is an ISO that you can boot directly to without installing on to your computer. You can place the ISO on a USB stick with Ventoy, and then during post you chose to boot from the USB instead of your installed drive.

    Most Linux ISOs are live images.

    Yes I know. I envision myself in a mercurial state Yanking the usb out as soon as I have driver issues. Making a partition for an install will take more work to undo, nudging me to commit to the change that I think will ultimately be beneficial.

    If this sounds crazy, this is the kind of tortured process I go through on a daily basis to try to outsmart and tame my future self.
