Good to know

Appreciate the tip!

Some of the newer FPS EA games have “Anti-Cheat” features that require you to enable certain things on your own device, like Secure Boot and TPM.

I’m sure games play fine on Fedora. I’m just concerned about those bootloader type things that I’ll need to enable, or know how to disable at a later time

I’ve heard about grub, thanks for putting it into more context.

I’m still trying to figure out how all of this fits together.

BI0S, UEFI, GRUB, bootloaders, kernels, distros, DEs, it’s honestly a mess for someone who’s computer knowledge (thankfully) ends at microcontrollers in college.

Any sources you can remember for that dual boot you did years ago, I’d be grateful to look into

I appreciate what you did answer!

By boot media vs installation media, I think my intention would be to use a USB with Ventoy/GParted for install. After that point, can’t you boot different .ISOs from the BI0S/UEFI menu?

I’d hope I wouldn’t need to run Linux on my laptop with my USB always plugged in. Maybe once or a few times at first, but the Surface’s singular USB port is a prime commodity. Probably should look into some docks.

I hope my question about like USB specs or whatever didn’t throw you for a loop either. I meant like how much space would I need to have W10/W11, Fedora KDE, maybe Kubuntu, maybe Linux Mint, etc. to be able to distrohop easily. As a newb, just looking for literally the easiest way to do things. I can tinker with my system to get started, but I want it to be a daily driver for the long haul. And that’s with knowing that for distros like Fedora I’ll still need to upgrade occasionally since their releases runs shorter than something like Ubuntu’s

Yeah I know I should be more careful when I use the word brick around Linux people. What I really mean is that 24H2 fucking slowed my laptop down to a halt, to the point where the update itself took 15 hours to complete. My laptop was working with acceptable performance before that. And after reverting back to 23H2, it’s still slow.

I just wanna be done with Windows man

Fuck animal testing

I hardly believe there aren’t other ways to manage animal research

Shame whoever took this

I am one that only uses Lemmy
