Ubuntu Dual Boot

My adventure of creating a dual-boot machine for my laptop hit a few snags.

• Get Ready
• Mostly followed the Gcore process
• Downloaded Rufus make sure to use SourceForge - if you don't 27 other packages will try to download to your machine, Gcore links to raw rufus site that is a disaster
• Grabbed a new ISO image from Ubuntu
• Inserted a new USB and copied
• Had to play around a bit with how my machine could be told to 'boot from USB' but ultimately it worked
• Get Set
• Tried to install by letting Ubuntu - build beside existing OS
• Forgot to make a partition available
• Ubuntu was very unhappy that BitLocker was on
• Destroyed the BitLocker 
• That caused me to type in a 48 digit code to re-access my Windows
• Got Windows back
• Interestingly enough Windows 11 was able to shrink my 500GB drive into two partitions: 300 and 200 and I was eventually able to coax Ubuntu into building and loading onto the secondary partition
• Annoyance
• When flipping between Ubuntu and Windows
• Windows kept warping me to UTC
• Did some rummaging around and found this reddit thread
• Change the internal clock
• timedatectl set-local-rtc 1
• Apparently windows pushes 'local time' to the hardware clock on the machine and this thoroughly confuses Windows
• Go
• So now the machine boots automatically into Ubuntu if I just let it sit
• I can select to switch to Windows (from which I am writing this entry
