Questions about Linux Mint and this list

[Bret Busby]

Hello.

The first question, is, because Linux Mint appears to not have a mailing 
list equivalent of this one that we have for asking questions about 
Ubuntu, and, because one of the variants (the most common one, I think) 
of Linux Mint, is apparently, Ubuntu based, is it okay to ask questions 
about Linux Mint, on this list?

The second question (assuming, and, hoping that it is okay), is, with 
Linux Mint 20.3 (because, from  my understanding, especially, from the 
article by Liam Proven, recently published on The Register web site, 
Linux Mint 21 is at the beta testing stage, and, has, as yet, no known 
or expected date of release), can it (relatively easily) be installed on 
a computer with MS Windows 11 installed?

My wife, who is a MS .net systems developer, wants a new computer, with 
MS Windows 11 Pro installed on it, so she can play with her development 
tools, other than on her work computer, and, also wants to try Linux 
Mint (and, I am thinking about looking at Linux Mint, to get a current 
Linux version that is easy to use, that is not quite like the current 
Ubuntu), and, so, I am wondering whether the Linux Mint 20.3 (and 21, 
when it is released), can be relatively easily installed, and, 
dual/multiple boot (not concurrently, but, being able to choose which to 
boot, having both or more OS's installed) on a computer that has MS 
Windows 11 pre-installed on it, or, whether we would need separate 
computers for running MS Windows 11 and Linux Mint.

I have read an article on the Register, about a "latest Lenovo" 
computer, that has some MS plutonium thing, that prevents OS's other 
than MS Windows, from being installed, and, I do not know whether MS 
Windows 11 prevents other OS's from being installed.

Thank you in anticipation.
