1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    Really you actually bricked it? Have you tried a live system from a bootable USB and format the drive or something?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    The thing is it works, just that other bootable drives don't work, only this Linux drive, no live USBs not my old windows drive, nothing else works no matter what I Change in the bios

    That sucks. If you remove the drive with ~~windows~~ linux I wonder if you could boot from a USB. Would be worth a try

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Yeah but I would need another drive to now install another os on, but yeah it might be worth giving a try

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    True, but that drive is booting right? It's just no other drive will boot? I figured you could check if there's an issue with the USB port. If it boots then it could be that drive is causing the issue, although that would be strange. You could get an adapter and reformat the drive that way and see if that fixes the issue.

    Yeah I need to get a new drive to test as I said, as for the usb ports I tried all of them on my pc, none worked, about reformatting idk if you mean Linux or windows but I have some important stuff there (the reason I installed on a new drive without having another sata cable) so it's not the preferred option for me
