2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.

    Happened to me two weeks ago, not necessarily because of an update, but because of the restart

    It saw my entire btrfs distro install on a separate drive as "corrupt", and ran a chkdsk while I was away. Now GRUB shows all my installs but can't boot them anymore.

    And this is why you should install windows to a docker container on your server and not let it touch anything else. Link to GitHub repo.

    i had to use Microsoft a while ago, so installed a skin of it, ReviOS to be specific, alongside GNU/Linux. It helped in getting the work done without unwanted updates(which are practically downgrades), and was very fast. coupled with a package manager like scoop it was not that bad experience. even better than MacOS, I'd say.

    Can anyone smart help me out? I tried to clone my drive and the stupid ass program installed another boot thing. I was able to remove the options in the list, but now I have to wait or hit enter to boot windows 10. Fucking annoying.

    Go into Bios to set the default startup partition.

    [–] WanderingSavior@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Thanks. The boot order is already set to windows boot manager> C: system drive. Setting it to just the C: (minus WBM) fails to boot. Uefi is msi.

    The issue is a partition was put on there by Macrium. I deleted it, but the windows boot manager is now borked and now I have to manually select windows 10 or wait for it to time out. This adds a lot of boot time, and it's annoying.

    Have you looked at "System Configuration" (just type it in the Windows search box)? There's a Boot tab that should allow you to set a default or remove others.

    [–] WanderingSavior@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

    Yup. There's nothing there (set to win 10 default). This problem is insidious.
