Aurora R11, Windows 10 and Linux dual boot?

Hello everyone,

A lot of information on this subject, but nothing clear and precise.

My question: Is it possible to have an Alienware Aurora R11 with Windows 10 and Linux? I've never had so much trouble creating a dual boot as I did trying it on this new computer.

Of course I already disabled dual boot and changed probably the whole BIOS but the "boot option" is still grayed and can't change it to legacy or whatever, which is my main problem.

Thank you for answering and for the help.

    Welcome to the Dell Community @act-reds 

    I do not think you can run Linux.

    Your Alienware Aurora R11 supports these operating systems:

    My recommendation is 

    That you install Oracle Virtual Machine 

    And make a Virtual Machine 

    And use it for your Ubuntu 

    As far the Docs show that your PC doesn't support Linux .

    @U2CAMEB4ME​ 

    So looking at the link you posted it does show Linux int hat drop-down menu.
    not sure if the website updated since you last posted that response in 2021.
    I am also running Ubuntu on my Alienware Aurora R11 at the moment.
