got a few Oculus quest 2 questions

any Oculus quest 2 users here? I would like to know if it's worth it to bother with the 64GB version, or just skip it and get 128GB instead.

Re: [SOLVED]some recommendations for new dual boot install please

I was looking for secure boot in my bios ,
I couldn’t find an option to turn it off.

Re: some recommendations for new dual boot install please

I downloaded Ubuntu and installed it. Everything went pretty smooth, no issues with booting Windows or Ubuntu. I really liked Mint, kinda disappointed that I couldn’t get it working. But I’m just happy to get my computer working the way I used to have it. Thanks for your time and Help everyone, Andy...

Re: some recommendations for new dual boot install please

Should I be using GRUB 2 , since I am using UEFI?
I was reading some stuff that says always use GRUB 2

I used etcher to make the bootable USB drive , I didn’t see any option for me to choose
GRUB vs GRUB2

Is there any way for me to change it at this stage?

Re: some reccomendations for new dual boot install please

Looks like you are booting in legacy mode on sda (no EFI partition) and you have used up three of your primary partitions, leaving you room for only one primary partition or one extended partition (you can put logical partitions inside the extended partition - this was a 'fix' to get around the fou...

I'm not sure how I should do this, my partition table looks different than the one in the tutorial video I linked to.

The times I’ve done dual boot installation before, It normally says install beside windows boot loader. This time, it’s only giving me the option to install on the USB drive I have plugged in. The partition slider is only seeing the Bootable 32GB USB drive I’m using. Can someone shed some light on w...
