I haven’t had it happen to me for a while now. I used to have a boot repair liveCD that’d always do the trick, but I don’t think that specific distro even exists anymore.

The gist is you’ll want to boot a liveCD and use the liveCD to reinstall GRUB, I’m sure you can find the right incantation to do so online somewhere.

Windows basically never nukes the actual linux install. It DOES like breaking the bootloader though. Which is fixable but still deeply annoying.

The crux is that a first-past-the-post voting system incentivizes voting for one of the two big parties. Voting third party is equivalent to voting against your preference of the top two. There’s a bunch of really neat voting systems that avoid this problem handily.

There’s a pretty wild variety of decorative grasses that’d look kick-ass as an office plant.

That’s not at all legal under GDPR. Nor is having deny all be harder than accept. As is tradition however companies don’t give half a shit until fines start happening.

And yet suicides measurably decreased when the switch to blister packs was made.

They make little pillows filled with seeds or cherry pits. You can microwave 'em to get them hot. Love those things. Would recommend the seed filled ones over the cherry pit ones. The cherry pits feel coarse.

Okay but if you’ve never had rice with sesame seed dressing you’re depriving yourself. Shit’s like magic.

Just replace them as soon as you notice the surface is broken.

So like twice a month?

work on your reading comprehension.

You’re either being intentionally obtuse or disingenuous.

Or I’m simply disagreeing with you. I’m not disagreeing to disagree, I just simply am not convinced by your arguments.

you wouldn’t count people who bought that refrigerator as Linux users, would you?

No, I would not.

If they’re not exposed to any operational functions of the OS, then counting them as users of the OS is dishonest.

Right, but the steam deck exposes all that perfectly fine, a lot of uses simply choose not to engage with that. Someone using debian but then only touching the web browser still counts as them using linux surely.

I used to play with a metal bodied pen at my desk, and you could totally shock yourself by touching it to your chin while aimed at the CRT.

But that’s true for anything. you could swap out the OS under gnome and most users wouldn’t notice either.

I mean in a regular surgery anything below waist level or so is already considered non-sterile, So I think the risk of doctors accidentally dipping their hands in the swamp water is pretty low :P

I’d probably call Big Picture the Desktop environment in this case. Yes it’s a simplified linux experience, but it’s not not linux.

I’m assuming it’s referring to the batteries

That seems easy enough to make. Weave some metal thread into the paper or some such and you’ll jam most shredders handily.

They’re using a curated overlay for Linux

This is commonly known as a “distro”. SteamOS is just particularly good at being user friendly for it’s fairly narrow use-case.

The exodus still occurred and it totally worked out in Admin’s favor.

That’s a shame. It’d be a perfect time for a strike. Worst case you get fired, best case you get your bonuses.

Now try it with the selfie camera on your phone
