Two years after the Fairphone 4 and following the release of some audio products like the Fairbuds XL, the Dutch company is back with a new repairable phone: the Fairphone 5. It looks and feels a lot like the Fairphone 4, but it adds choice upgrades across the board, making it the most modular and also most modern-looking...
EDIT: So after all that, I was able to reinstall windows and download Macrium reflect + my backup. First time I tried to recover it, it failed for some reason, but the second time around I was able to restore it successfully. I’m now back where I started, thank you everyone!...
By the way you might wanna consider an alternative such as rEFInd if you’re using an UEFI (BIOS but newer and shittier thanks to “improved security”, full of limits) or “systemd-bootloader”
All computers since the late-Windows 7 era use UEFI.
That’s why I hated the extra step that I had to do to not corrupt the UEFI while installing a Linux distro years ago… All this new stuff that just locks you and limits you.
Things are better sometimes but in this case they’re not.
Hold on, I think I didn’t explain myself properly.
I’ve never had any problem, the problem that existed years ago was that you had to manually change things to accomodate UEFI, while installing a Linux distro.
For example, while installing Ubuntu you had to press a key during the splash screen and boot there. It was a simple fix that you had to do while booting the ISO, but it was something not widely known.
And by “corrupt the UEFI”, do you really know what you’re talking about?
Unfortunately not, but I’ve read that this was a thing, since I didn’t want to fry my €1400 laptop I did this simple thing. Later I’ve seen that this problem was fixed, but I’m talking about years ago, 2019 or so.
Planning to dual-boot with Windows either Debian or Mint on my OLED laptop. Are the tools that I have on Windows really useful? (pixel refresh, pixel shifting)
HDR means High Dynamic Range. The range of values on an SDR display (Standard Dynamic Range) is 16-235 but the range of values on an HDR display is 0-255, that means that the color “black” on an HDR display is actually black and not “dark-gray”.
This is dumbed-down because I don’t know the more technical stuff.
Also it has nothing to do to “color saturation” (wrongly called “vividness”). That’s a dumb marketing thing since you can do the same using every display in this world.
I am using a Dell Latitude 3420 (Ubuntu 22.04.3) and it uses a slightly older OEM kernel 5.14.0-1048-oem. The generic kernels keep getting upgraded but are never used. The current generic that I have is 6.2.0-26-generic and 5.15.0-79-generic....
So I’ve been trying to install the proprietary Nvidia drivers on my homelab so I can get my fine ass art generated using Automatic1111 & Stable diffusion. I installed the Nvidia 510 server drivers, everything seems fine, then when I reboot, nothing. WTF Nvidia, why you gotta break X? Why is x even needed on a server driver....
Everyone else here is forgetting that Telegram is still pushing the limits and it’s still one of the best app for messaging (the best in my opinion though), if they’re recurring to this, it’s because money aren’t unlimited.
Shut the hell up you people: Telegram still isn’t invading privacy and using anti-user practice, the hell you complaining about?

The Fairphone 5 released, is the sleekest repairable phone yet (www.androidpolice.com)

UPDATE: So after I broke grub, I tried reinstalling Fedora. Now windows has disappeared from BIOS
