buwho@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•[SOLVED] Installing Linux distro without breaking Windows installEnglish3·3 months agosame, and make sure fast boot or whatever fast start up is disabled in windows
yeah i was just thinking this the other day. i have alot of packages on my linux boot. i run mysql,postgres all kinds of stuff, many python versions, still fast as the first day i installed it. windows on the other hand starts bogging down fast. i keep my windows boot withonly the bare minimum of things and turn off almost everything from the start up, woth the hopes of keeping it useable.
thats strange, my boot menu has 2 kernel selections for pop os, the current one and one that is the previous running kernel. if a pop os update breaks my system i can just boot from the other kernel image. which has only happened once in 5 years. but was able to wait for pop to push fixes etc and then dist upgrade.
since you dont seem to have that option, you may need to boot from live usb and investigate further.
when you try to boot into it what happens?
pop os
ive not experienced that in the almost 10 years of using it on multiple debian based distros

buwho@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•My Openbox Experiment - Ditching the Desktop Environment?English3·4 months agoloved slackware with openbox on my netbook back in the days. running pop os and i3wm now, i prefer it over openbox or fluxbox now. it is my daily driver work horse, stable and low on resources. easy to configure.

im really impressed by the projects that continue to exist. since the “mainstream” dawn of desktop home linux (circa 2004?) so many open source projects that were critical for the user base ecosystem to find linux daily-able are still going. open source is awesome. from a user perspective, i am not a developer, i hate and suck at ‘coding’…but im so appreciative for the developers and maintainers of the vast amounts of code that exists in the linux open source space…badass
