  • [SOLVED] Installing Linux distro without breaking Windows install

    Jump

  • Yeah, I have to do that after reinstalling Windows again. Just did and that solves the issue of getting it into Grub so that I wont have tot go through the BIOS.

    But when I install Linux, the Windows boot disappears from the BIOS too. Even tried to find it trough the «Repair» options when booting from a Windows USB, but it’s just gone.

    Is it possible that Windows and Linux shares UEFI partitions even if they’re on different drives?

  • It shouldn’t, but that’s about the only thing I can think of that does this. I already know how to find windows in grub again, but it’s also gone from the BIOS boot options and it happens very specifically after installing Linux on the other disk.

    Already installed Windows again so I can’t do that. But I could disconnect the Windows drive when I install Linux.

    Maybe asking this on a Windows sub would be easier? I suspect this is a Windows issue and not a Linux one but I’m honestly not sure.

  • I am. Windows is on a 2.5" Sata SSD while Linux is on an Nvme M.2 drive

    This guy is gonna try to do the same fucking thing again?

    Hahahahahhahaha.

  • EA App, GoG and Epic

    Jump

  • This community has been mind-blowingly helpful every single step of the way so far. At this point I cannot see myself going back to windows. Other than the few things I use that won’t work obviously.

  • Does this work for games that I have in the EA App and Ubisoft-thingy too?

  • Oh, I misunderstood completely what Wine Manager actually is it seems like. Though that was just a configure tool for Wine.

    I’ll have a look. I like Heroic’s interface WAY more than Lutris

    Edit: Would you look at that, if I only actually looked in that menu I would have tried it already. Giving it a go now

  • They’re not relevant to me specifically, that would mean Qwant would need to collect data. But they’re relevant to the thing I’m searching, sort of.

    Google ads were scary specific before I degoogled myself almost completely.

  • Yeah, I find it more varied and there’s less ads. Ads are still there though, but they’ve been relevant to what I’m searching for so far.

  • Qwant has been decent for me. Try it out and see how it goes

  • Ready Or Not in Linux?

    Jump

  • Played a few missions after installing Linux. Works fine with Proton Hotfix enabled in Steam. Honestly feels like it has less stutters too.

  • Old games that needed patches on Windows

    Jump

  • I’ll look into this too. I’ve had this issue with TibSun for years but the unofficial patch from cncnet usually fixed it.

    A lot of the stuff I come across in Linux makes more sense than in Windows honestly. It’s just completely different and that makes it hard when you’re used to messing with .exe files, .dll files and regedits.

    Jump

  • This worked for TibSun. Thanks!

    Got the cncnet patch installed. Now to check if the patch actually fix the black menu issue.

    Edit: Didn't fix the issue for that game. But I now know how to uninstall patches using .exe files!

  • I used to prefer cncnet back in the day. I noticed they have Linux builds for a lot of Westwood games so if I fail to make the EA App version work I'll just get that or openRA.

  • Absolutely incredible info. Saving this for later!

  • Getting unhappy about DuckDuckGo

    Jump

  • It’s passable so I don’t really mind it. It uses Bing’s image search if I remember right.

  • Been using Qwant for about a month. Feels like of like old Google did, very happy.

    Only place it’s lacking is image search, but Google has been pretty shite for the past year too.
