Right now I am on <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/nobara" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#nobara</a>, but I know my way around <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/debian" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#debian</a>-based ones much better. Also, more software is provided in .deb. But I want <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/kde" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#KDE</a>, which is not widespread in the debianverse. At least not among the distros recommended for <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/gaming" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gaming</a>. Couldn't get debian itself to run (well), don't want snaps so no <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/kubuntu" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#kubuntu</a>, ran into update issues with <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/mint" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mint</a>-with-kde... finally I was pointed int he direction of <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/tuxedoos" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#tuxedoOS</a>, and it felt a bit... box-y on my laptop. And it had no bigger UI size on the big monitor, only all at once. So I let it rest for a bit until I stumbled over another deb-only package. Now I'm back to <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/dualboot" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dualboot</a>, this time nobara/tuxedo. At some point, I _will_ find my distro. 😅 I never had these issues with <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/windows" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#windows</a>. There, I had to take it as it was. Was it better? Hell no. I enjoy being spoiled for choice. (And also not being surveilled.)

in_sympathyIf you’re running both Linux (like Kali or Ubuntu) and Windows on the same machine and notice that Windows displays the wrong time after booting into Linux, you’re not alone. It kept bugging me for years tbh 🤣. Solution is simple - just run the following command in your Linux terminal:sudo timedatectl set-local-rtc 1 --adjust-system-clock🔗 More details: <a href="https://itsfoss.com/wrong-time-dual-boot" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://itsfoss.com/wrong-time-dual-boot</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/@itsfoss" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@itsfoss</a> 👍🏻<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Windows</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DualBoot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DualBoot</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TimeFix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TimeFix</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RTC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RTC</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LinuxTips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LinuxTips</a>

Dawn Tåke 🌙 :sparkletrans:Here's an odd question. Is it possible to daisy chain hard drives? Like, can I use one SATA port with a ribbon that has connectors for two hard drives. I think this was possible on my old IDE computer, but no idea with modern hardware.I want to dual boot, and all the suggestions are a drive for each OS, but my laptop has very little physical space and all of the SATA ports are filled. That said, I might be able to shove a small M.2 SATA drive in there. I asked on the hardware company's forum and they were less than helpful.<a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AskFedi</a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/TechHelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TechHelp</a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/DualBoot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DualBoot</a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/SATA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SATA</a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/TourmaLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TourmaLinux</a>
