Trying to mount an iso image in the terminal and accidentally un-mounting your root drive.

Totally didn’t do that before…nope not even once, definitely not twice >.>

Read some random comment saying he got a “trad wife” and basically quit the internet.

Last post on his website seem to be from Feb 2023.

You just got me to remember something about a Vulkan package when I first installed Steam so gonna find the AMD package for that. Thanks!

AUR or flatpak.

Honestly the longer I spend daily driving Linux the more I enjoy using flatpaks…

To add to the software point, STOP buying hardware that requires some shitty software to fully work.

I did this back in the Windows 7 days years before I even knew anything about Linux. But Razers rootkit managed to load in before the Win7 login screen then crash it. After that I avoided any peripherals with mandatory software and it made my transition to Linux a lot easier than most people I know.

As God intended!

While I only have one PC I did write over my old Windows drive about a month ago, I haven’t loaded into Windows 10 in nearly a year and I fear how many updates it would have forced upon me at once…

My main backup drive is internal/Sata but I cloned it to an external USB one after I started noticing issues with it

My bad I’m reading this all off my phone rn while using a live boot on my PC

When I tried using Ls on my main install it just froze without giving any output, I even left it for over an hour and it didn’t budge.

It’s not the boot drive and is unmounted at the moment

Any data recovery I’m trying at the moment is from the portable drive I cloned the main one from. And yes I got actually important stuff backed in multiple places, it’s mostly media and stuff like game saves I’m trying to get back.

I’m actually in a live boot rn copying as many files off it to other drives (and it seems to be working unlike on my main install?)

I am using fstab to mount my drives not KDEs mounting solution as I’ve had issues with that in the past.

But I still get a popup in the bottom corner saying the drive couldn’t mount

And yeah even went mounting and going through the drive just using CLI it still freezes up, I dunno if there’s a way to get an error log from Ls? Or something similar

Yeah pretty much.

Unless you want to build your own car from the ground up, which you can do in most places if it passes safety regulations. But that takes time, money, workspace and knowing what you’re even doing.

Sorry, that just sounds annoying and less productive.

It is but the “holy trinity” of Ui/UX design Apple, Google and Microsoft have been pushing this for years now.

My eye twitches anytime I go onto a webpage that’s just a phone app in the middle of my screen with two blank voids on either side.

Half the reason I switched to Linux almost a year ago was to avoid Microsofts forced invasive Ai bullshit. Seeing stuff like Recall has only cemented my decision.

I could go on a long rant about what I consider “right & wrong” when it comes to Ai but I’m just some dude and wanna use my own computer in the way I want to.

You have to add the drive to a file called ‘fstab’ to have it be mounted on launch

If you want a video guide here’s the one I learnt to do it from.

It is kinda annoying Linux doesn’t seem to have a decent auto mount solution yet especially for people like me with 6+ drives in their machine.

I don’t even have an OLED display for my desktop and I’ve still preferred pure black background for the longest time.

I’m glad dark mode is a standard unlike 10+ years ago when you had to hack it in yourself most of the time. But Ui designers just seemed to be afraid of trying anything outside the standards Google/Apple etc put in place.

If one is good then two should be like…double the good right?

Windows 10 LTSC 2021 edition has support until January 13th 2032.

I’d obviously prefer if more people gave Linux a try but if you’re literally forced to use Windows then it’s probably your best option right now.

I got my KDE setup like that, sadly you gotta do it manually in the edit mode and it can be a bit finicky at first.
