Idk, in Rufus I set it to MBR (well it set to that automatically if I'm not mistaken) since I didn't know if it would support GPT (it's an old pc as I said), also I only had a single sata cable available so I installed it without the windows drive connected, the error message popped up only after I replaced the drives and tried to boot to the windows one, which wss supposed to be untouched, also as I said no bootable media (I made with Rufus, I could try balena etcher or what you said) but it just skips the boot media when i turn it on, even if i set it to the highest priority in bios (tried Debian, mint, kubuntu, but I'll try fedora to see if it's any different)

When I was making the drives in Rufus it didn't say anything when writing to the drive

Well of course, that's why I compared brave and not chrome, although the brave adblock sucks sometimes

But yeah, the firefox on android is good enough to set it as a default browser (never actually noticed that the Google discover page just opens in chrome and ignores your default browser before doing this, interesting how some apps do this too)

You wouldn't believe how many people are actually incompetent using a pc beyond using default values and browsing the web, for example in school one day I had to help classmates save their project documents to the school's server, because they didn't know how to browse the select folder dialogue box (or whatever it's called), and another dude in my class didn't know how to use the shortcut bar at the bottom of the window in PowerPoint so he literally scrolled through the ribbon for like 2 minutes before he managed to launch the presentation (and this guy is a straight A student to note), I also heard stories about coworkers which didn't know how to open a zip file or how to forward an email

The oversimplification of software is really problematic, since everything is made to be as straightforward as it can be people just go with it and then have a problem when they need to do something a different way

Yup, can say that firefox is quite a bit slower on android (but honestly it's still quite ok, unless it decides to loop loading the page, or it bugs out in another way, at least on my phone it's quite prone to breaking, for comparison brave is really a bit faster than Firefox

There's this dude on YouTube called oats Jenkins and makes better versions of things, he made a "traffic 2" video and in it he said something along the lines of "oh and you will need a permission ticket for a pickup added to your driving licence if you want one, so that only people who need a pickup truck can have one"

This is absolutely genius in my opinion, and I saw these big ass pickups spreading into europe, and like where I live (pretty small far away town of which there's a ton of in Europe) they would take up somewhere to 3/4 to the full damn road (I saw someone drive one and it really went like that those things are as big as a bus)

I'll try that, it's actually the opposite, it has an uefi switch in the bios since it's so old it probably was the standard to use legacy boot, guessing by the CPU (core 2 duo, idk what model though) it's probably a 2007/08 prebuilt (by the weird PSU)

It would make sense that it would be a problem with windows if it didn't have the uefi setting on, but it still doesn't explain the "Ubuntu success" message I got instead (and that was the case when the Linux drive was completely disconnected )

Will reply after I try it out, if it doesn't work I'll try the CMOS instead, if that doesn't work either then I guess I fucked up my computer beyond repair

Ah sorry then, I didn't quite get that (as said I'm not a native), just wanted to point out a fun coincidence since we learnt that word a few months back in English class

Thanks for telling me

The Simpsons (that I watched like 3 years ago, yeah I don't watch TV shows that much) and clash of clans

I feel like this already happened iirc, with that EA mobile game that the Simpsons had

I'm a newbie, used a derivative of Ubuntu (xubuntu) since my computer is slow and old as fuck, it ended up somehow breaking my pc into only booting the drive with the Linux install on it and refuse to boot anything else not even live USBs (putting back in my windows drive just shows "success Ubuntu" in the top left corner)

If you think it's bios related please tell me, because I tried to mess with every damn setting related to this (I didn't try resetting the CMOS but I doubt it will do anything)

If anything it probably made me hate Ubuntu based distros in general (couldn't try anything else because the pc is fucked)
