That’s reassuring. I think it’s capable but it may be windows secure boot messing it up. Not familiar with bcdedit but I could try.

I only do audio production on my laptop. All browsing is come on my phone whenever possible. The software in my workflow is all Linux compatible and the distros I’m interested in are geared toward that focus. That said I would appreciate the convenience of having windows for now still. Especially since there are some plugins I occasionally use which unfortunately aren’t Linux compatible.
It’s at least 5 years old. I’ll look into secure boot. I wouldn’t be against ditching windows entirely but I’m not sure I’m up for transferring all my files over right now. No way my laptop supports another drive unfortunately
Edit: however much to my surprise I did find an official service guide
I feel like those were the settings I used in Rufus. Sounds like legacy support might be what I need, thanks.
I would really appreciate that in fact.
I tried Rufus and UNetbootin, both on the windows 10 machine I’m intending to try Linux on, to a 32gb flash drive (I tried two different ones actually). I used an AV Linux ISO and Ubuntu Studio ISO. I have not tried Ventoy.
It’s an HP. I’ll have to check the model. I went through the bios, and while admittedly it’s been some time, I thought everything seemed right. I recall trying to change the priority.
It wouldn’t boot at all. Windows just forces its way through.
Edit: I looked I to Ventoy a bit. I’ll give it a try tomorrow.
Just install Linux on your laptop or desktop.
I have been trying
I don’t think my laptop likes to boot from a USB, things used to be so much easier. Maybe I need to try a DVD.
I need to find a DVD.
This is the lamest “both sides” meme possible.
Can you tell from some of the pixels?
Instead, we need an outside bogeyman to distract from the fact that the real villains fucking us around are our own compatriots. Rich assholes get away with distracting the masses yet again!
I think this applies to both countries.
Edit: for the record, rich assholes distract the masses in my country too. And I just noticed the instance I’m on so I’m tapping out here.
Wow, guess I’ll never kick my old roommate off then.

You can say “die” here, it’s ok
I suspect that’s how we all came into this world.
I’m no stranger to that. I guess it’s a matter of motivation at this point.
