ROG Ally X unable to install Dual Boot on same drive
Just as a heads up on this one I just installed it on my desktop and had the same issue with Blivet on a shrunken partition on that machine as well

ROG Ally X unable to install Dual Boot on same drive
Yeah no idea why it didn't like making an EFI partition in empty space, wonder if there's something amiss with Blivet-GUI at all as the error was coming from a traceback in there

ROG Ally X unable to install Dual Boot on same drive
Hi there, so yeah I did shrink the partition inside of windows to make space and then just tried to follow the steps from there, the error message I was getting was "Unable to Allocate Partition Type" when trying to create an EFI partition.
However I ended up getting it working by booting into a live Linux distro and using gparted to create a FAT32 partition of 300MB, an ext4 partition of 1GB and then leaving the rest as a btrfs partition, then it was pefectly happy to format these partitions in the installer, it just didn't seem to like creating them on the empty space, strange but I'll take it and I'm up and running now
