  • “To make my computer do as I wish I simply need to lie about my country of residence. I am very technically adept.”

    TBF I do find that confusing. I’m used to human-readable conf files that persist across updates. But I can see how non-technical users might think understanding a collection of tricks is knowledge of their OS.







  • The dual booting problems are enraging. I somehow have the opposite problem, that it will always boot from the SD if the SD is present during power on. How hard is it to make an alternative boot method button?

    I wish I had known this beforehand, I’m sure there are other SBCs with sane booting. I am never buying an Orange Pi again.




  • I tried Nobara and quickly ran into the lone developer problem when it didn’t support secure boot. I don’t really see the point of secure boot when the machine will still accept any USB I stick in there, but most other distros seem to handle it. I didn’t want to spend a lot of time working on it and later find other unsupported things.

    So I switched to Bazzite, which other people keep recommending, and that seems to work fine. AMD GPU over here tho, YMMV.
