I'm currently working on a project using Rust and I think it would really benefit from me using Linux. I have a Live USB with Mint on my Windows 11 PC, so I end up booting to Mint whenever I want to work (I've enabled persistent storage with 64 GB). The problem is, every time I disable secure boot and then boot back into Windows instead of the live USB, BitLocker kicks in. This means I'd have to reset my password and fingerprint and essentially set everything up from scratch, which is really frustrating. The last time I encountered this, I tried to avoid booting into Windows altogether. Is there a better way to handle this? Can I disable BitLocker without all the hassle?

I get that you want to avoid the hassle, but have you considered running Linux Mint in VirtualBox? This way, you wouldn't have to deal with secure boot problems and could keep everything streamlined.
You could consider just getting rid of Windows altogether. But if that's not feasible, there are definitely guides online to disable BitLocker. Just search for "how to disable BitLocker" and you'll find plenty of resources. It can be a bit tedious, but it's doable!
BitLocker is mainly a Windows feature, so it might be worth thinking about just switching to Linux completely. It could simplify your workflow with your Rust project!
Have you tried looking up tutorials on YouTube? There are tons of videos that can walk you through how to disable BitLocker. It might make things easier for you than reading guides.
