  • Old laptop suddenly won't recognize Linux boot drive

    Jump

  • This ended up being the issue! Booted up a live USB, mounted the disk and ran

    sudo efibootmgr --create --disk /dev/sda --part 1 --label "Fedora" --loader '\EFI\fedora\shimx64.efi'

    After rebooting it worked again!

    Now to never plug a windows drive into that PC again...

  • Nope, there is only one sata slot. It should be there, but at this point nothing surprises me anymore. I'm just as confused as you are

  • I can't select Linux in the boot options, that's the problem

  • Is the boot record stored on the drive or on the laptop? If the former, it should be okay but I'll check regardless. If the latter, maybe it got wiped by Windows?

  • Yeah that's something I can try. I suspect that it is indeed Windows that's causing issues, but not quite sure how yet. I'll disable fast startup and see if it makes a difference

  • The drive is fine, as I can boot from it from my desktop. I'm gonna try booting from a liveusb, maybe it can tell me more

  • Cirrus app dev informing the app will stop working on certified android devices in '26/'27

  • They're baking this right in the package installer of android, it goes beyond play services. I have my doubts that this will pass in the EU

  • What's something that, after you had it, you immediately wanted another?

  • I drive 500 km a week, every ones in a while I get a splatter large enough to bother me. Even after 2 or 3 weeks my car still looks fine

  • Fair enough, although I don't really remember having an issue with linux either, atleast for the last couple of years. Apart from getting my nvidia gpu to work properly on my laptop, but that's jank on windows aswell. Not everyone has issues on either, but I use windows at work and fedora at home and I notice way more jank on windows personally

  • Most people are so used to the windows bullshit that they don't even recognise it anymore, Linux (especially fedora) has been much more stable for me.

    Also, the problem is always nvidia

  • Games Where Nothing Happens (SPOILERS for various game plots)

    Jump

  • That's quite the review, I think I still prefer Far Cry 4 (don't really know why tbh), but 5 did surprise me. Although New Dawn was a giant disappointment, didn't even finish it

  • Every now and again a voice comes into my head telling me to install Arch.

    Jump

  • Well you can just install that alongside your DE and try it out

  • Teleportation problem

  • Just got around to this game, you saying it was a walking sim made me less anxious, but man it did feel scary at times, especially near the end I got the creeps. Was worth it though, although the story was very sad

  • Games Where Nothing Happens (SPOILERS for various game plots)

    Jump

  • I suppose I'm misremembering, it's been like 5 years since I played it. Maybe I'll play it again some day, I remember quite liking the game
