You can “click” in GRUB?
They’re talking about the Debian installer.
you click the enter key…
Man, imagine using GRUB.
What’s the problem with GRUB and will it impact someone who sees the boot menu maybe three times a year at most?
Nothing is wrong with grub, I’m taking the piss by saying quippy things on a meme post.
Ah, gotcha. You weren’t the only one to say this, so I thought there might be something more to it.
I don’t think so. You just want to pick the right tool for your system. With modern uefi boot systems, systemd-boot is simpler and quicker. There are use cases for grub, such as if you have the kernal outside of an efi partition.
Systemd-boot is my personal preference, boots fast, is unintrusive, and you never have to rebuild anything to make changes.
In the end, everyone is free to use what they want. That’s the beauty of Linux.
what do u use? genuinely asking. i use systemd-boot bc its default for my distro
I dunno about the guy you’re responding to, but I run rEFInd
Same but only because I dual boot Windows and was too lazy to setup grub or systemd-boot the day I installed Linux on my new setup.
Systemd-boot
Its poorly the defacto standard on most common distros
Wait, you guys can click in grub?
Wouldn’t be shock for me if it existed. You can definitely do that in rEFInd though
Oh man, I KNOW
Simple fix here. Just get rid of your Windows partition.
I did this on my new laptop. feels_good_man.png

systemd-boot for anyone that is tired of GRUB/Windows antics.
How does it fix that?
Truthfully, I don’t know what the secret sauce is. In my experience: system d boot is very simple and allows us to hook directly into the bootloader without any fuss. GRUB seems to be an operating system of its own and windows knows how to hook into it if you will.
Yeah, I’ve been using systemd-boot for over 6 months, close to a year, and I’ve never had issues with Windows. And I’ve been dualbooting a lot. Multiple times, using different windows editions, like AtlasOS, or Windows after Winutil, and my sytem has never broken because of Windows and boatloader shenanigans. And to top it all off, in all of these instances, I had Windows installed AFTER Linux, and the only tbing I had to fix after install is to change the boot order so Systemd-boot takes priority.
One time i opened windows to change a setting on my mouse that had windows only software
The app didnt boot so i tried to restary windows. It decided to update, froze in the middle of the update, and broke
After then everytime i tried to open windows it would send me back to the gnu grub screen
I had the opposite problem, I had my mouse all nicely configured just how I wanted it using Piper on linux, then booted windows to test something unrelated (which if I remember correctly didn’t even have the logitech software installed) and it somehow instantly reset my mouse to factory defaults. I decided whatever I was trying to do wasn’t worth the effort and have not had windows installed on my main computer since
After then everytime i tried to open windows it would send me back to the gnu grub screen
Sounds like it did you a favor

OSHA would say having a Windows install is a potential hazard because it can become dangerous if activated. To remedy, you must remove the hazard.
Safety is no accident.
windows updating the UI/UX with every new OS kills me. Wheres the ‘fuck off’ option when it asks for me to set up my personalization options and info?
I just wish they would literally and continued supporting Win 7. Everything after is just subpar from a usability perspective imo.
people who insist on using windows should just run it in a VM, it has suprisingly low overhead these days, you can even game with it if you insist, but i’m hearing wine/proton is getting good enough that it doesn’t even matter
I mean I do that currently and it is okay, but file transfer is still not working. The rest is, and I think it even was pretty much ootb, but the SPICE drivers are a real hassle to get installed, while it could be a one click solution?
(This “insert spice CD” thing has no option to download the driver ISO, right?)
Also windows11 is a bit bloated. Bulk crap uninstaller and ChrisTituses Winutil really help making it less fancy but more performant, or just usable.
But yes, VM is way better than hardware. If your Laptop supports that.
There is an ISO somewhere, I always struggle to find it
After that you can just download from within the VM, mount from within windows and run the installer exe
Yup did that, but this needs to go automatically, like its their stuff why cant they download it themselves?
Who is they? There are many tools to run VMs on Linux not maintained by rhel
Idk the devs of virt-manager I guess. Not sure if its a RHEL project
I need the stability and reliability of it not running in a vm because it’s for schoolwork
Youre entirely correct about proton unless your kid wants to play fortnite
Literally the only reason I haven’t switched to a Linux distro. I hate anti cheats so much.
To date I have not found any degree of enjoyment in any games with a windows only anti-cheat.
I was going to say Siege, but they removed the ability to play as a team of exclusively shield recruits, I’ve heard.
Siege is honestly awful these days (not complaining about the sci-fi ops, reality is lame as shit why not spruce it up a bit) but what they have done to the UI and the queues (bring unranked back please) is honestly unforgivable and makes the game hard to play. (It isn’t all bad, but more bad than good)
I’m unlucky, I play Fortnite with my cousin in friends.
windows’ ram overhead is insane though, it’s not like I can’t run it but I wouldn’t want to daily drive it
You’re still stuck when it comes to anti-cheat in multiplayer games. Some do allow it to work on Linux, but a significant number don’t. Hopefully the tides slowly start to change thanks to the Steam Deck.
Happened to me just yesterday.
Wife: what are you doing? Me: pushing the hard reset button. Wife: it’s not possible. Windows started booting up! Me: No, it’s necessary.
Hello
