If you want to run Linux as your daily driver without giving up Windows, this is the cleanest dual boot setup I recommend going into 2026.
In this complete guide, I show you how to dual boot Omarchy and Windows on separate, dual drives, manually partition Omarchy, use a modern bootloader, and create a shared NTFS drive so both systems can access the same files, without the usual mess or risk.
This setup is safe, clean, and built the right way from the start.
