There is a section here on dual booting using systemd boot. Never used it, but it will hopefully work in your case, or at least point you the right way.https://ostechnix.com/dual-boot-windows-and-pop-os/

Bodhi Linux. Lightweight and beautiful

Sons Of Perdition is a good dark/gothic county. https://youtu.be/dltCg75ZumI?si=UkVMcB906b1ajF3Z I also like Nick 13, he is the lead singer/songwriter and guitarist of the psychobilly band Tiger Army. He did some solo country stuff. https://youtu.be/HtYGegYvGZg?si=CvdkxAbqIbNq5fzG

Check here if your hardware is supported https://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php?deviceCategory=io If it isn’t you might be SOL, but can always look up answers specific to your hardware and esxi version. I assume you’re running Esxi 8. May have to change your hardware. If this is for learning esxi for work/job stuff you need to invest in compatible hardware. If it’s just to have a host, try proxmox or something compatible with your equipment. Anytime you install something like this, you need to check compatibility. Also, for future reference, when asking questions of this nature you should provide more info. Like hardware you’re using, version of the installation, exact error message, where in the process this error occurred,installing to bare metal or in a VM. A solid answer will depend on the information given. A lot of people don’t even want to interact with someone who gives so little information to the problem. There are too many variables.This isn’t a dig at you, you probably didn’t know, just trying to help you out in the future. Good luck!

I have never used those tools, I usually just dd the iso to a usb. I am assuming you are on a linux distribution already. I would download a fresh iso and verify the checksum. Then use dd to write to the usb. I use this format, and of course replace the path to iso bit and /dev/sdx (your usb)with what is relevant to your situation. Just open terminal and type

sudo dd bs=4M if=path/to/your.iso of=/dev/sdx conv=fsync oflag=direct status=progress

You probably already know but you can find the usb’s specific /dev/sdx with sudo fdisk -l

I still use one. I like having a small device for just that purpose. It doesn’t have a touch screen, which is how I prefer it. I despise touchscreens. I like to interact with my phone as little as possible, especially while driving.

You want bleeding edge but are moving to Ubuntu 20.04, which was released in 2019 with a 2025 EOL? No DE from that release’s repo will be bleeding edge. You can manually install the newest releases of software you want, but that’s not really a “just works” solution either. You’ll run into dependency hell at some point. I’m not really sure what you’re going for. But as far as a stable DE goes, and if that is the main concern as implied in the title, XFCE has been pretty darn solid for me.

I just use an ad blocking DNS. In your android device go to settings, then Network and Internet. Find private dns and add noads.libredns.gr There are others, but I use that one. Never looked into how or what criteria Sync uses to slap ads at people. Whether it’s random, platforms they prefer, or based on tracked data, etc.

Have you tried turning off the repeat keys function? https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/keyboard-repeat-keys.html.en

Thank you for the guide. I decided to install my distro of choice on the first half of my laptop drive and threw Debian in the other half. I’ve been meaning to dig more into btrfs and this gave me a nice excuse.

Had the problem earlier with Sync. Beehaw was down last night a bit, I assume for maintenance. Sync ran an update today and I can now access in app.

Ugh, don’t get me started.

You will also want to make sure the filter isn’t clogged up. Most overheating is going to be an airflow issue. You can also look up online how to pull it apart and check components. You may also have a loose power connection somewhere. Make sure the vacuum is unplugged before you mess with it.
