I don’t understand all the excitement about KDE…I tried it out on a VM and I was, at best, underwhelmed. It just felt too busy.

Ep1cFac3pa1m@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.world•Getting ready to switch to Linux full timeEnglish4·5 months agoI cloned my Windows 10 install from one SSD to a bigger one. I left both drives in, told the BIOS to boot from the new one, and everything worked fine…until I wiped the old one. The next time I restarted my PC it wouldn’t boot anymore. Windows must’ve been looking for something on that drive that wasn’t there anymore. Luckily I had made a backup, so I popped in a USB with Windows 10, went into recovery mode, and told it to restore from backup. After that everything works fine again, even with the old drive being empty.
Looking back on it I may have been able to fix it with a bootrec.exe/fixmbr command, but it didn’t occur to me at the time.

Ep1cFac3pa1m@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.world•Mint Cinnamon "Import_mok_state() failed" (Solved)English4·5 months agoI’m no expert, but that sounds like a UEFI/BIOS issue. Is your BIOS updated to the latest version? Could also be a secure boot issue. Maybe try turning secure boot off in the BIOS and see if it makes a difference.
I’ve been wanting to take the leap, too. I’ve got Linux installed on my gaming laptop and I’ve been trying games one by one to see if they work. Next step is dual booting on my desktop and only switching to Windows when I absolutely can’t make something work. My biggest concern is that I have a bunch of games installed on various drives that are all Windows (NTFS?) formatted and I’m not sure if I’ll be able to run them on Linux. I really don’t want to have to reinstall all of them.
I worked in retail until 2016, and a few years before I left they switched all the PoS registers to Linux.

Same. I miss using the mouse as a browser back button.
