Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    And this is why you should install windows to a docker container on your server and not let it touch anything else. Link to GitHub repo.

    i had to use Microsoft a while ago, so installed a skin of it, ReviOS to be specific, alongside GNU/Linux. It helped in getting the work done without unwanted updates(which are practically downgrades), and was very fast. coupled with a package manager like scoop it was not that bad experience. even better than MacOS, I'd say.

    Can anyone smart help me out? I tried to clone my drive and the stupid ass program installed another boot thing. I was able to remove the options in the list, but now I have to wait or hit enter to boot windows 10. Fucking annoying.

    Go into Bios to set the default startup partition.

    [–] WanderingSavior@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Thanks. The boot order is already set to windows boot manager> C: system drive. Setting it to just the C: (minus WBM) fails to boot. Uefi is msi.

    The issue is a partition was put on there by Macrium. I deleted it, but the windows boot manager is now borked and now I have to manually select windows 10 or wait for it to time out. This adds a lot of boot time, and it's annoying.

    Have you looked at "System Configuration" (just type it in the Windows search box)? There's a Boot tab that should allow you to set a default or remove others.

    [–] WanderingSavior@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

    Yup. There's nothing there (set to win 10 default). This problem is insidious.
