Fun fact, you can, in fact, make sourdough with the yeast from a yeast infection, and bake with it.

I played with the grub settings a little bit, only cause I just wanted windows and mint next to each other instead of separated by a third option. It’s a nitpicky kind of thing, but I’m not stressing about it too much.

I’ll definitely be digging more into grub though to see what I can play with.

Ok that’s kind of cool, I’ll be checking that out once I get everything working the way I want it lol.

So, for me at least, it was a matter of changing the boot order in my bios so Mint amwas primary, and windows secondary, then changing the timeout for grub from 0 to 30.

From there, I’m able to let it boot to Mint, boot into windows, or just force the mint to go through quicker.

Windows just refused to acknowledge any other OS.

Thank you for the help though!

Ok this is nearly exactly what I needed.

I had to change the timeout for grub from 0 to 30, and grub let’s me pick windows or Ubuntu. Ran it twice to make sure. Previously I had windows as the primary boot, but windiws wasn’t showing any other OS.

Thank you!

I went with Cinnamon Edition of Mint.

Ah so boot with Linux as the first (windows is currently first) and use Grub to get into windows when I want?

Now, does it matter that both OS are on their own drive entirely? I took out the windows drive when I installed Linux on the other SSD. I can run each OS completely independent. Saw, I forget where, that this was the best way to install so they’re fully independent of one another.

I actually went ahead and did a fresh install of windows on my 1 SSD, and a fresh install of cinnamon on my other SSD. Really the biggest pain was not losing the screw when taking out the windows drive so Linux was solely installed on 1 drive.

You guys were right, cinnamon is way more my speed. A few quirks that I’m looking up ways to fix, like I have 3 monitors, but 1 is in portrait, and if I try to line it up, it drags down the main monitor, instead of the portrait monitor, and the mouse is misaligned to what I can see on the screen. Outside of that, I’ll probably be on Linux full time within a month or 2.

I’ll definitely check it out. I probably should have jumped on one of the Linux forums to find something outside of Ubuntu, but I just knew the name from a past attempt to use Linux.

Gaming was really the only thing that held me back, but since it’s a non issue with the games I play on Steam, I have no reason to stick with windows, except for maybe pirated games are all made for windows, which I’ve already seen workarounds for.

I went with Ubuntu cause name recognition, and I’ve tried it in the past lol. Basically half assed the entire thing.

I’ll check out mint though. Ubuntu feels too much like a Mac OS. Loving how much I’ve had to use terminal, and my 12 and 10 year olds watching in amazement as I look like I’m doing something really complex, but just installing gnome tweaks lol.

I just installed a dual boot for Ununtu the other day. I’m getting used to it. Almost everything runs better on it, but the UI is a huge change. Finally got some apps to install to desktop, so it’s a slow process, and looks like I couldn’t have picked a better time to switch.

Maybe read the article, instead of relying on others to spoon feed you.

Did you read the article? 30,000 families, 170,000 people.

A couple of apps I used in the past had the tap to close for images/videos, and a long hold for the UI.

If you don’t wanna change it, not a big deal. It’s just a muscle memory for me to tap to close, and completely a personal preference. The app rocks regardless.

No no, they said never put salt in your eye. Putting kids in the hall is OK.

Is it possible to add a tap to close images when opened with quick view? Right now you have to swipe or hit back to close them, and swipe doesn’t work if you zoom in.

God forbid someone pick up a horticulture hobby.

Correct, it shouldn’t have happened, but it did. Everything, literally every part of his death, screams something shady happened.

Of course it’s fucking ridiculous. But it’s exactly what happened. He was left alone, unsupervised, for 8 hours.

They’re not gaslighting though. No one checked on him when he supposedly killed himself. They didn’t discover the body till 6:30am. No one had been to his tier since 10:30 the night before. That’s 8 hours of no supervision, where they were supposed to check every half hour.

The guards that were supposed to check on him every 30 minutes were reported to have been sleeping. The guards just never checked on him for 8 whole hours, where literally anything could have happened.

I was in the hospital last year, and if they didn’t have the cart with them, they’d always scan the thing holding my IV when they came to check on stuff. The staff were almost annoyingly always present, which is way better than other stays where I’d practically only see the staff that brought meals, or my IV machine beeped cause it was empty.
