Did they changed the logo? (self.cyberpunk2077)

Did they change the Cyberpunk logo in new versions?

Just started my blind playthrough (no spoilers please) and noticed the cyberpunk logo is different from what I saw before.

Old Cyberpunk 2077 (not 2.0) ๐Ÿ‘‡

New Cyberpunk 2077 (after 2.1) ๐Ÿ‘‡

At first I thought there is something wrong with my GPU driver ot something.

Thank you.

I neither have surround sound support nor use Netflix app and MS Store. So, I guess it's not a problem for me.

So, it's not possible on rEFInd too, right? Similiar to systemd-boot?

I like rEFInd's appearance but it seems that grub2 has lots of tech support also theming (still will prefer rEFInd for looks)

You can't choose the bitlocker password yourself right? If that's true, then that's why I avoid bitlocker.

But veracrypt has it's own boot loader right? Won't it replace rEFInd?

The one that asks password before boot (full encryption)

How to Encrypt Drives ? (self.linux4noobs)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by gpstarman to c/linux4noobs@lemmy.world
 

This is my disk layout:

500 GB Linux - BTRFS

100 GB Windows - NTFS

400 GB Storage - NTFS (shared between linux and windows)

I want to encrypt everything. For Linux I can use luks2 but what I'm supposed to do for Windows ? (No bitlocker please)

Will veracrypt replace refind boot manager?

Note: I am talking about the one that asks password before boot (full encryption)

I installed lots of OSs on my PC. The mistake I did was not backing up my EFI partition beforehand.

Now I deleted all the OS except CachyOS (Arch) and Windows.

Now I want to tidy up my EFI partition. I want to delete everything (even rEFInd) except Windows and Default ones like OEM. (I am gonna reinstall CachyOS ) Can anybody please assist me?

I already deleted the obvious ones like ubuntu and fedora. Anything else?

I know this is not necessarily a linux question but anyways ๐Ÿ˜…

Solved

Before proceeding with any of the following, I STRONGLY suggest you to make a full backup of your ESP (efi) partition.

I deleted everything on boot folder, since I didn't need grub or any of those files ( after searching everything individually on internet)

I deleted refind folder, since I didn't need refind boot manager.

I kept insyde folder, since they are my uefi provider.

I kept OEM , microsoft folders because I need windows and whatever my OEM provides.

I kept tools folder since that's just an empty folder ( I didn't know which OS created it)

If your snapshots are taken from your main subvolume, then they shouldn't be incremental backups

So other snaps from other subvols are incremental backups?

I installed CachyOS with BTRFS, LUKS2 , REFIND.

After successful installation I'm not seeing any prompt for password nor the linux boot entry on refind.

Note: I didn't do any lvm or raid.

What should I do?

Solved

I just forgot to create a boot partition ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

Let's say i made 10 snapshots on top of the base.

Now can i delete snap no. 5? Will the snaps after 5 will be affected?

Solved

Yes, one can delete consecutive snapshots. The data won't be deleted unless all snaps ( reference points ) get deleted.

Note: If you delete the original file and delete all the snapshots made when the file is still there, the file will get deleted permanently.
