SOLVED: So the boot order was correct in UEFI, but for some reason CSM was disabled. Re-enabling that now causes GRUB to appear, and the PC boots into Linux without any other input. Thanks everyone!

I’ll look into these, thanks!

I don’t think I am, there shouldn’t be any temp ones. There are two options in bios, Windows bootloader and Linux Mint (listed as ubuntu). Win10 is on the top of the stack. I rearrange them to put linux on top, but when I hit save and exit it tells me no changes have been made. The Asus manual was not helpful, so it’s possible I’m missing something, just can’t figure out what.

Not 100%, but I’m not a BIOS/GRUB expert. When I restart my computer my options are currently either do nothing and let it automatically boot to Win10, or go to BIOS and manually select Linux. Manually selecting Linux takes me to the GRUB screen, which doesn’t appear at all when the computer boots to Win10. Does that information help?

The ability to create multis could solve that. I could make a local Edinburgh multi, sub to both of the communities, and view them together in one feed for example.

Reddit is also almost 20 years old. Lemmy’s like what, maybe two? Reddit wasn’t super great in 2006 either.

Then you can move to another instance or host your own. They can’t buy them all up.

It’s going to take a longer time to fill up the less tech-inclined subs. /c/Self-hosted is growing quickly but I’m probably not going to see that with /c/crochet for a bit. If your journaling sub is unrestricted on Reddit maybe you could make a post advertising the Lemmy community.

yo dawg I heard you like blockers

not oc

What’s your community, illegallysmoldogs? I have two criminals myself. Subbed.

You’ll have to wait. Reddit took a long time to get to where it is now. Lemmy can get there too, but it won’t be overnight.

Steve Huffman is a breathtakingly gross human being.

I have a 13 year old 1tb WD mypassport that I loaded up with pirated movies and took with me to Afghanistan. It’s been through a lot, and it’s still working well today, not even a blip of an issue. Such a shame when companies drop off in quality.

Oh, that may be it. Thanks!

I’m crossing my fingers for a LiF is Fun for Lemmy lol

Are the algorithms that determine how our “front pages” are populated set at each Lemmy instance or by the protocol as a whole? Aside from blocked instances.

Is it bad I’d like to see some more

If Meta or Google tries to buy your instance, you can migrate to another one. They can’t buy them all up.

You’re right. After almost a decade and a half on reddit, I’d forgotten that it also had a learning curve when I first came across it.

I guess that speaks to how terrible the official reddit app is, I’d rather learn a whole new site with a whole new framework than view reddit without RiF is Fun.
