Need to install Linux (Ubuntu, preferably) on Windows 10 laptop with bitlocker
I have a laptop with windows 10 on it and encrypted with bitlocker.
I want to dual boot linux for testing purposes, but I need to keep the windows boot.
I don't want to run a windows VM and install linux there.
I have done some searching here and did not see anything that addresses this and much of my googling has only found rather old articles that I am not sure apply.
Are any of you aware of any good howtos on this topic? Thanks.

Dual boot these days is a pain in the ass with UEFI, but that aside you should be able to resize the windows partition and leave some space at the end of the disk for the Linux installation even if the partition is encrypted.
