    Gotten truly and utterly lost without a communication device. Especially powerful if you are in a foreign country where you don’t speak the language and/or are alone. Nothing quite like it.

      Ok that must truly have been an experience. I’d put it on the same level as being homeless (happened to me for a night).

      My man, I have been trying. Been trying to dual boot since I still need windows for work but I cannot for the life of me get Grub to work. It shows up in the install terminal, but after I reset it immediately disappears as a boot option from my and Linux. I’ve been racking my brain for days and no solution online works. The closest I got was getting to the Grub terminal, but it still couldn’t boot into arch.

      Meanwhile my laptop is dual booting with no problems whatsoever after doing basically the exact same thing. It doesn’t make any sense

        Fine, I’ll be the guy. Sounds like grub-install isn’t writing the configuration to the right place. My first check would be what grub config is being used, then work on replacing that with the one generated by grub-install.

          That’s what everyone was saying online but no solutions have worked. Since I can’t boot into Arch I’ve been having to go through the install USB to get anything done so it’s been super tedious. My next idea was going to try a different boot loader if I can’t get it to work.

            Well, I would start by booting from the GRUB command line. Using the install media can work to fix the system, but this is getting into chroot territory and there is no reason to believe the system isn’t working. Just not booting. Much simpler to use the grub rescue terminal to force a boot, then run all of the grub goodness from there. Basically, if it boots from the disk in rescue it guarantees grub/efi is mounted where it needs to be, from there grub-install on its own should just work. Also, make sure the config you are feeding grub-install is set to output a boot option. When in doubt use the default config, it should work fine.

    Moments I have truly known I was alive:

    • Using the restroom after chopping chillies but before washing my hands

    • Hearing my boss say “Can I talk to you in my office…?”

    • Seeing the jerk who swerved around me doing three times the speed limit get stopped by a cop

    • Playing with a kitten I had just adopted

    You’ve fought past the fear and anxiety; then become so comfortable that you don’t seem to remember that fear.

    …had someone rifle balls at you, as hard as they can, off of a bat or racquet. Something about facing it down and letting your instinctual reactions take over is viscerally primal.
