Question to #blind people who use two #operatingSystems on your computer: How do you dual boot accessibly? I’m getting some help from someone to set up my #computer, and I’m trying to decide between just getting rid of #Windows or dual booting. If I dual boot, I’m thinking of buying a second hard drive just for #archLinux. It’s expensive to get another hard drive, but this way I wouldn’t need to get rid of #Windows11. Is there anything I would need to do to make this setup #accessible? How do you know when the menu to choose which OS you want comes up?

@RareBird_15 @mastoblind @main our awesome @alex19EP improved the #accessibility of our #archiso a few years ago.
Currently we are using a systemd-boot config with beep (see https://man.archlinux.org/man/loader.conf.5.en) for #UEFI systems helping to select entries in the menu. You can do that too once you have installed #ArchLinux (or another OS that supports it).
AFAIK, you can dual boot Windows using sd-boot, but it is worth reading relevant wiki articles beforehand (e.g. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dual_boot_with_Windows).
