My PC (self built with Asus motherboard) was a Linux-only machine until I added a fresh install of Win10 on a separate drive using Ventoy. I use Linux Mint 95% of the time and want to automatically boot into Linux, preferably without showing GRUB. I have Fast Boot turned off, and I keep resetting the order in BIOS only to have...
I give you 3 options and you google them and choose the one which suits you the best. 1. Change the boot order in your bios (Mint drive first) 2. Install package ‘os-prober’ and then update-grub (Win10 will appear in Grub) 3. Install rEFInd to replace Grub and choose everytime which OS you want to boot (set timeout by yourself). Warning: theming the rEFInd is known to be addictive.
I know this doesn’t help but I think the file picker is by far the worst feature Linux has ever had. And our opinions are quite common among Linux users.
I started working on Flyaway with the intention of becoming familiar with Wayland, its protocols and extensions, and the wlroots library. Instead, I ended up genuinely liking all three.
I went from decade with dwm into Alpine + Sway and had zero issues. Actually the opposite, all the screen tearing and multi screen issues are now gone.
Hopefully LMDE6 is a game changer for the most popular first Linux distro. If the CosmicOS by System76 doesn’t win that title.
My grandparents were 1,5 years with Mint but LMDE5 has now been for 10 months and it is awesome. Literally 0 issues since day 0 whereas Win7 and Win10 caused constant headaches for me over the phone.
Unfortunately I’m not. I’m running numerous Thinkpads until System76 releases their in-house produced Virgo laptop with hot-swappable mechanical keys and open source bios (Coreboot). It’ll also have the trackpoint from Thinkpads.
SystemD is blamed for long boot times and being heavy and bloated on resources. I tried OpenRC and Runit on real hardware (Ryzen 5000-series laptop) for week each and saw only 1 second faster boot time....
Late last year I purchased a 12th gen framework laptop and honestly it’s been pretty good. My biggest issues with it are really the hinge is not strong at all even with the upgraded one, the keyboard is trash, lack of trackpoint with buttons, and lack of IO. Don’t get me wrong I really like this device but I keep thinking I...
What kind of question is this? Sell the Framework and use the money for maintenance of T480. Buy new batteries (Lenovo original if you can find a source) and dual-pipe heatsink (if your unit is missing the Nvidia gpu). Clean the dust and with compressed air and replace the thermal paste.
That T480 will serve you eternally. Especially with Linux. If someone is able to port Coreboot with Coreboot configurator into that model, donate some coffee money for the devs.
What are you even asking? There’s literally zero reasons you to force you to prefer Framework to T480. And some other might prefer Macbook over anything etc. The personal preferences aren’t a reason to force or argue.
Dualboot with Linux Mint and Win 10 Pro. How to stop Windows 10 from overriding my boot order in BIOS on every restart?

ΠΑΜΕ ΕΛΛΑΔΑΡΑ ΜΟΥ!!! (LET'S GO GREECE!!!) (lemmy.one)
Linux reached 10% of the desktop operating system market in Greece!

Wayland is pretty good, actually (serebit.com)

What do you like about your Linux Distro?
I use Fedora 38, it’s stable, things just work, and the software is up-to-date.
Format drive if wrong decryption key is prompted?
Is there a possibility to make Linux install automatically delete the data if wrong decryption key is set x amount of times?...
Is Systemd that bad afterall?
SystemD is blamed for long boot times and being heavy and bloated on resources. I tried OpenRC and Runit on real hardware (Ryzen 5000-series laptop) for week each and saw only 1 second faster boot time....
Cross-platform Spotify alternatives?
I’m looking for a FOSS alternative to Spotify, preferably one that works across Android, MacOS, and Windows....
Thinking of switching back to my T480
