Windows can’t read your linux partitions, it doesn’t support them, so it’s almost impossible for it to damage your installation. It used to be that it could mess with the bootloader, but since UEFI got implemented, that’ become less likely.
What does it do when you boot into normal mode? Does it get to the login screen or not? Do you see error messages?

If you get to login but no further, it could be a problem with your user, like a bad shell setting, since rescue mode logs you in as root usually (I’m not very familiar with debian/ubuntu based distros), otherwise it could be you installed/updated/removed the wrong package(s), unfortunately as far as I’m aware apt doesn’t have history rollback capabilities, so undoing that is going to be difficult.

This is an unpopular opinion, but when you’re still inexperienced with linux, the quickest way to fix your system is just reinstalling. Back up your whole home dir beforehand and you’ll just have to drop it back in place to get all your data and settings back. If you have more than one user you may want to be careful with the UID, you may have to chown -R the whole directory.

Every time I see PowerShell syntax, I have this dissonance where I feel like it should be better than Unix shells, its command are surely more descriptive, still… It disgusts me for some reason. Too long, maybe?

I think you’re confusing Lemmy’s alignment to freedom and the common good with a circle jerk. Most of us are here because we don’t want to be bound by the limits of centralized, proprietary social networks, how can you be surprised that the people here try to make the same choice in other aspects of their lives?

My parents’ ISP router has Alexa integrated into it

I mean, you could read the article. Many users are unhappy with the performance or reliability.

I 4 years ago I remotely reinstalled Wonderware and necessary drivers on a Windows NT3.51 HMI controlling a mango line in Africa (I don’t remember exactly, maybe Burkina?). Not fun, there wasn’t much documentation left.
One year later I had to do it again.

There are lots of businesses hosting their own nextcloud as well, this is a serious problem for them.

eh, it’s not all root, essentially just the binaries. /etc and /var are RW

did three major version upgrades so far and they have been flawless.

To be fair, I’ve upgraded normal Fedora for like… 8-10 versions in a row maybe, and never had a problem

Holy shit can you guys read the article please? It’s an existing standard and a dedicated keycode

Virt-manager works ok

If they’re still on Xitter it means they approve of this

Maybe they hoped for someone more competently evil?

Yeah, USBC and HDMI cables are a crapshoot. My phone came with a fast charger and it always only worked with the cable that came with it, now it also works with Arzopa’s one.

I have a non-touch 1080p one I got for work, 80€, brand is Arzopa. Works fine, uses USBC for power and video which is quite cool since it’s a single cable, it has 2 usbc ports, I guess if you have a lower power output on your PC’s port you can add a power brick, they’re also both functional so if one breaks you still have the other one. It also has a mini HDMI port.
It came with three cables: usbc-usbc, usbc-usbc, miniHDMI-HDMI, all three good quality.
It has folder case but carrying it in my backpack damaged it anyway, I have a couple bright spots, but they’re rarely visibile.

Weird. That’s one issue I didn’t have, luckily.

It slows down A LOT over time, the bigger the file, the faster, it seems… I close and reopen it often, luckily it launches in an instant

Yeah, unfortunately 1.0 is the version I’m talking about

I do keep trying, but I miss what I’m used to. I’ve tried a VM but it’s too slow, and I fought with GPU Passthrough but gave up. I do hope the whole Trump situation pushes the EU to support Linux more, but I’m not holding my breath.
