Dell 16 Plus, dual boot with Linux?
Greetings Dell Community!
I just bought a new "Dell 16 Plus" laptop with Windows 11 Home. But I would like to know if I can have a Dual-Boot with the original ''Windows 11 Home" plus any Linux of my choice without affecting the warranty of my new product? I won't make any changes without being sure I can maintain my guarantee! I appreciate any verified help.

Thank you very much for your support. 💡 @ejn63
I appreciate it. I hope someone else can leave their comment and experiences here with this model “Dell 16 Plus”.
Would you have any chance over time that Linux Debian distributions will release updates with better support for this Dell 16 Plus model?Siontronic

I got this page on Ubuntu platforms about the Dell Pro 16 Plus laptop model. Which described on the page matches the same models of devices that the Dell 16 Plus laptop has. For example:
Does it mean that these devices in the Dell 16 Plus laptop model will work perfectly with Ubuntu?https://ubuntu.com/certified/platforms/15202

The hardware warranty will be unaffected, but there will be no Dell support for any dual-boot -- or any version of Linux on this hardware at all. There is no Dell support for linux on this model.
Be sure you investigate whatever distribution you want to install as far as that community's support for the system.
If you're looking for better odds of Linux support, choose a Latitude model -- many of these do have support for Ubuntu Linux.
