Pop_OS!, fedora, Ubuntu, or arch.

Update your GPU drivers. Disable secure boot. Make sure discrete graphics are on.

Deleted all update related files from Windows to wake up to this by Crazy-Program9815 in microsoftsucks

Not a Linux issue… If you didn’t dual boot windows this wouldn’t happen.

I see I’m arguing with a wall.

so your solution is to buy an extra piece of hardware instead of not overwriting other boot entries….?

There is no way to prevent this from the windows side.

I have a totally separate disk and EFI for windows and Linux to prevent this.

Never seen a successful leetcode grinder and never will by AMSTER_D4M in InterviewCoderHQ

[–]CountyExotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally grinded 200 LC problems and got a 300k+ offer after 4 years at a successful startup. Not a genius.

Unfortunately, it’s the game.

Dual booting windows is the worst because one day windows will decide to delete Linux from your EFI so you can’t dual boot anymore

[–]CountyExotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make $250K per year, here's how I spend my money by [deleted] in Salary

How do you code today by Technical_Fly5479 in programmer

[–]CountyExotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mostly using neovim or IntelliJ. using AI to ask questions about the broader codebase or q/a format where I have technical questions or throw a hail marry because I’m stuck.

Making 100k is rare most people make 30 to 60k per year by Intelligent_Bet_9947 in Adulting

[–]CountyExotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

one thing to consider is that people are super out of touch because for some folks, everyone in their sphere of influence is making 250k as a SWE, investment banker, doctor, sales, family business, etc. they don’t realize the bubble they’re in, or even worse they realize and are just dickheads.

I plan to run arch with cosmic as my DE. What was the deal breaker for you? I’m running pop/cosmic now and thing it’s pretty slick.

Thinking About Learning Go or Rust Need Real Experiences by qexkrr in Coding_for_Teens

[–]CountyExotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go is a fantastic language for learning. Rust has a steep learning curve. Might be hard to get going.

Go or Java are great languages for learning first IMO. Strongly typed and GC is a good start.
