The issue with that is, people have no idea what these “choice” even mean. SteamOS is SteamOS, Windows 11 is Windows 11, MacOS is MacOS, but Linux is a big list. If pushing adoption is the key purpose, the manufacturer need to pick one that they believe is reliable and in active development. Just one. All these editions will very likely cause choice paralysis, which lead to people deem it as “too complicated”.

Also Valve will not likely go that path again.

Do you have anything else to add? Because being unhelpful doesn’t solve my issue, but to inflate your ego. Others tried, and i acknowledged my problem and will try other way to see if it helped. And you’re here to bitch about my unsuccessful attempt.

Yeah, i should totally done that.

Yeah, my plan is to isolate both OS so it doesn’t interact at all. Was thinking about wiping out the old drive after backing up after installing mint, doesn’t seems to work out lol.

Did you already install Linux Mint on a drive and your computer is now refusing to boot from it?

This. I already tried setting the bios to boot from that particular drive and it gave me this message. Might have to try let the installer decide the partition like another comment suggested to rule it out, and try turning off secure boot if that fail.

I see, i’ll have to try that tonight

What is saying “not bootable drive”? You should make a primary partition on the target drive.

When booting, after the bios screen it give me a black screen with that message, and refuse to boot.

Also, even if you don’t have tpm, you may have some sort of secure boot preventing non-windows drives from booting.

How do i navigate this? My machine is build around 2012-14 so not sure what its in. I had someone build it for me so i’m not sure what’s in it.

I tried installing it on a new ssd so to separate window and linux stuff(and also upgrade from a bunch of very old hdd), the guide recommend me to select “something else” and create the partition accordingly. I follow their official guide here

https://linuxmint-installation-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html

At the time i’m installing, i still have my old drive plugged in so in fear of messed thing up badly and had my whole data erased, i chose to manage the partition myself. Should i unplug everything other than the new drive, and have the installer do it automatically?

Tried switching to Mint yesterday, it’s a struggle as the guide kinda failed to mention some detail that i have to google a bit, and the result is it fail to boot(not a bootable drive error). Might try again tonight or this weekend. Honestly i can’t see mass adoption if it’s this PITA to get it working(not plug and play like windows), unless it’s provided by the manufacturer.

Edit: so one of a few struggle i have is the guide failed to mention i need to create an efi partition, i have to google that for the recommended size.

Another is the “primary” and “logical” partition. I have no idea which to chose so i put everything on primary, not sure if this cause the issue.

Then another one is what should i mount my “rest of the partition” with, i googled it and all the answer given is “you should probably read on what is all this about to get a sense what you should do” when i just want some simple answer to what should i do with that, like in Windows, C is for the OS, and you put everything on D or something like that. It’s akin to asking me to read the whole physics chapter when i just wanna know what speed a horse could run.

Then the final nail in the coffin for the session is “not a bootable drive”. Then i just plug in my windows ssd and go on with my day.

Still on Silksong, second run. So far still finding new stuff and alternative path. Dancers is still the best boss design so far.

That one is kind of a remaster though, this one is a proper remake. Not sure if it’s necessarily.

Yeah, i remember being so bored of it because i literally just click the enemy and everyone explode, and only occasionally spongy enemy. I also remember i can’t progress much in that 8 hours i put in, thing feel and play the same for that long. It just wasn’t my thing.

Yes! I played Grim Dawn for about 8 hours before i quit, and according to Steam, i dip in a whole 30 minutes before i uninstall it. I can’t remember about the game at all and why i quit, i assume it has the same issue with Grim Dawn.

Grim Dawn. “hey remember Diablo 2,the best ARPG ever? This is that but better!”

No it’s not. It’s not bad, but it just doesn’t click.

Babe wake up, phishing is coming to lemmy

It’s moddable?

Very likely once…in a while, like that stupid fullscreen win11 ads on win10.

Nobody care about your credentials though, your “people still use microsoft product” comment is the one that sounds like you’re living under a rock.

Your comment really just shout “i’m living under a rock!”

Probably yes, because AI might change thing too much while right now they can just tweak minor stuff and resell it.

Wow, i can totally see why people might have issue with the graphic. Hopefully there’s an option to ease the contrast.

I mean i wouldn’t mind having dating sim with Wolverine, but going frenzy at the front line is his specialty.

Maybe Dispatch might fit your criteria?

Next up, Dennis Kirby

Can’t believe Valve didn’t make real game. CS, TF2, DOTA2, all fake.

Because once you finished the story there’s really not much sidemission for you to play, and the world suddenly feel very empty without the excellent characters. I quit the same way.

[Gabe Dislike That]

Yes. It’s in the top selling list in Steam and have 300k concurrent player top. People give him power to say that.

That one is a gem, Gearbox can’t compete with this. B2’s only biggest asset is the voice actor, the animation when two character interact is worst than Oblivion.

Slop is a real word not made exclusively for ai

I can’t believe no one buy silksong and cuphead because it is 2d and it isn’t hyperrealistic. Sorry team cherry and MDHR, you guys failed.

Yeah, like the optimisation of the game for starter.

I heard it’s been in development for a long time but didn’t know it’s this long.

This is a marketing piece for Borderlands 4, consist of randy reading script.

For the topic they can find different dev from indie to AAA or ex-AAA dev that currently work in different studio or Rockstars talking about making sure the horse testicle shrink while cold, but no it’s about randy reading script. Where’s the essence? Where’s the juice?

I like how the comment there is basically AVGN quote.

Also, seriously, with VR being a thing now, why don’t they make Virtual Boy 2 with Power Glove 2 as a controller?

I use USD to put it into perspective. Saying RM49 doesn’t have an immediate impact 😅

Ya, that’s where they crash their own server, people able to get the game but can never log in or find a match or something due to their own unprepareness. This one crash all the major storefront.

Yeah, PS, Xbox, and Nintendo all have server issue due to this.

It also doesn’t click for me at first but when it click it click. I have to spend i think about 1 or 2 hours playing it not enjoying it, and then the game just suck me in till i wander every corner of it, played it twice to get a good ending.

But if it doesn’t click, i think it just isn’t for you.

Activision would kill baby to have people want their game so much that it crash Steam server.

Also the regional pricing is super cheap here($11), this gonna sell 10 millions.

Edit: in the payment processing screen and it just fail to process. Whelp, it’s 10:30pm here, might as well get it tomorrow. Good luck everyone!

Edit: so apparently it break every major platform except GOG and Humble. That’s crazy!
