Been trying out a tiling window manager, but it’s a little buggy on my system. Probably because I’m running it on top of a DE. Now I’m over here eyeballing nixos docs and accepting that I’m about to lose another couple days fucking around with an old laptop.
Mine is a T420, also win10-era, so I wouldn’t be surprised to find that they were similarly fussy. It also happens to be the one machine on which I’m running mint.
In my BIOS the option is under Startup > UEFI/Legacy boot. IIRC [Legacy Only] was the one that worked for this; I put it back when I was done, but I seem to recall [Both] not quite doing the trick.
Hopefully yours is a similar sounding setting in an approximately similar location. Maybe I just don’t fuck with them enough but every BIOS feels somewhat vibes-based to me; almost nothing feels standard from one to the next.
Oof, that’s annoying. Do you know what the boot issue was? My thinkpad was super fussy about booting into the usb. I think I had to set my BIOS to legacy boot to get it to work right.
Maybe I’m dooming too hard, but I find it easier to believe that the US will collapse than that the banks will. This feels like a sign that maybe I need to go outside or something.
You’re a millennial. You’re 40. You get a house with a 50 year mortgage. You pay it off until you die at 82. The bank keeps the house and the money. You beat the system somehow.
I guess the plan is for hyperinflation to hit and then you just pay it all off or something.
