  • So you convinced me, and not being a novice, I didn’t read the install instructions and just went for it. It wrecked my dual boot efi partition. No worries, been there done that before, spent all morning trying to get the eufi shell and grub sorted out. After a few hours of failing, I’m like hey I planned for this, I’ve got a USB recovery for windows, and my actual data is all backed up via syncthing (thanks to this community). Why am I bothering with this nonsense.

    Omg… Recovering windows takes foreeeeever. So then I’m reading the kenoite instructions and it calls out that dual booting doesn’t work, here is a suggested partition scheme… Ffs… Anyway for anyone that doesn’t want to waste an entire day on this, rtfm.



  • I don’t think you could have explained this any better… yeah, this exactly. I don’t want to get a phone call every time the update the damn system. Gnome can be different, simple, that’s fine, but it has to do that and get out of the way. If you make changes to it, it has to respect those changes. Everything else is garbage.
