The same thing might apply to people that just don’t know how to install another OS.

I’ll take my wife as an example, she knows how to work on a computer (Windows) in her sleep. Spreadsheets, documents, media, you name it. But, does she know how to work the command line? Absolutely not. If her Windows license is about to expire, she calls me. Her files get mangled up, she calls me. It’s not her job to know these things, it’s mine, she’s a social worker, I work in IT.

Exactly, good analogy 👍.

You’re an inqusitive mind (so am I) and there is nothing wrong with that.

But, do understand that most people aren’t. Either because they didn’t have proper guidance when they were young or just have no interest in involving themselves in new things, doesn’t really matter, the fact is that, yes, most people don’t really care how stuff works.

You might surround yourself with people that are like you, so you don’t see the other ones. Trust me when I say this, most people are not like you. I’d say about 5 to 10% of people are like you, that’s it.

Hell, I still burn stuff to DVDs 🤷.

Believe it or not, not everyone is intersted in tech. Most people just live out their lives oblivious to how stuff works.

Like me for example, I have almost 0 interest in medicine. The human body is not exactly a black box to me, but I don’t usually remember deseases names and stuff like that, even though some people remember all those things without putting too much effort into it.

If it takes too long to load the EFI binaries, that might be BIOS setup issue. Have you tried other filesystems except FAT32 for the EFI partition? I’ve had luck with just FAT (FAT16) on some rigs that just refused to read FAT32 (still don’t know why).

Also, make sure the drives are in AHCI mode. Though this is mostly the default nowadays, I’ve seen weird BIOSes that defaulted to IDE mode.

Doesn’t seem to work…

Need for interacting with hardware, so yeah, have it on bare metal, plus in a VM.

@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

Yep, pretty much the same reason, just have to use it, mostly because of software that interacts with hardware, in one way or another.

I am at piece and happy. I get to live with my son without having to share him. That brings me more joy than a divorce and being free of her ever would.

I did actually try and divorce her. He was miserable… so was I. I asked her to get back together again. She knew the reason, but agreed anyway… maybe because she knew it was better that way, for the kid.

Yes, we are sharing… we just live together… with our son. The difference is, I can be with him whenever I want.

That talk has already been talked. We live together, that’s it. She doesn’t want me seeing anyone, so I don’t. I don’t wanna stir things up, it just leads to quarels, and I really don’t have the nerves for more of that… there has been enough of that, I’m trying to live in piece with my son.

0x4E4F, to lemmyshitpost in I'm not picky...
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

Look like a woman, that’s all that’s needed.

0x4E4F, to lemmyshitpost in Just do it.
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

It’s not that simple, we have a kid and I don’t wanna share him.

0x4E4F, to linuxmemes in Completely untrue nowadays...
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

Like… why would it be 🤨… that’s insane, how dare you ask a printer to print!

You wanna ask her if she likes me? Cuz she doesn’t hide it.
