I’m not saying that it is easy

It kind of sounds like you’re saying that. Anyways, there’s a reason submarines exist

But but but…China bad!! Obviously China isn’t perfect but they definitely get some things right.

And yes, propaganda works on everybody

The dev is already working on it https://github.com/spotiverse/SpotiFLAC-Next

If Russia gets attacked, his days are over anyways

Only dualboot with windows on a separate drive, that hasn’t given me any issues in the past 5 years or so

I feel most replies have never used those products and are recommending options which just don’t work well enough imo. I have a VM for Fusion 360, but it’s really not fast enough for day to day use. Things like wine just don’t work. You’re gonna have to suck it up and either dual boot, or run a VM with GPU passthrough to get hardware acceleration in your VM.

Maybe you can split your GPU for a VM but I haven’t figured that out yet

Edit: if you do dualboot, you can put all your stuff on a separate partition (documents, downloads etc) and share that between the systems so you always have access to your stuff

Even without years of experience, gimp is unintuitive, the affinity suite is so much easier to use

The boot entry was indeed messed up! Managed to fix it from a live usb

This ended up being the issue! Booted up a live USB, mounted the disk and ran

sudo efibootmgr --create --disk /dev/sda --part 1 --label “Fedora” --loader ‘\EFI\fedora\shimx64.efi’

After rebooting it worked again!

Now to never plug a windows drive into that PC again…

Nope, there is only one sata slot. It should be there, but at this point nothing surprises me anymore. I’m just as confused as you are

I can’t select Linux in the boot options, that’s the problem

Is the boot record stored on the drive or on the laptop? If the former, it should be okay but I’ll check regardless. If the latter, maybe it got wiped by Windows?

Yeah that’s something I can try. I suspect that it is indeed Windows that’s causing issues, but not quite sure how yet. I’ll disable fast startup and see if it makes a difference

The drive is fine, as I can boot from it from my desktop. I’m gonna try booting from a liveusb, maybe it can tell me more

They’re baking this right in the package installer of android, it goes beyond play services. I have my doubts that this will pass in the EU

Fair enough, although I don’t really remember having an issue with linux either, atleast for the last couple of years. Apart from getting my nvidia gpu to work properly on my laptop, but that’s jank on windows aswell. Not everyone has issues on either, but I use windows at work and fedora at home and I notice way more jank on windows personally

Most people are so used to the windows bullshit that they don’t even recognise it anymore, Linux (especially fedora) has been much more stable for me.

Also, the problem is always nvidia

They want everything, does it exist, but it’s not in their dataset? Then they want it.

They want their ai to answer any question you could possibly ask it. Filtering out what is and isn’t useful doesn’t achieve that

Progress just has been painfully slow. It just now got the update it should’ve had back then
