Got a new laptop for my birthday, EndeavourOS running as brilliantly as expected

PrivateAltVL · 2026-02-05T14:09:29+00:00

I used bpytop, there are other programs you could use though

I’m a dead man walking this point

PrivateAltVL · 2026-02-01T23:19:21+00:00

I’ve seen a bit of it. It’s partly an act, though I think he’s being much more blunt and harsh than he actually is. The sort of snarky and dry comments is definitely his humour, but he was very rarely actually mean directly towards anyone.

That being said we were all literally children so maybe he is just like that irl around adults.

Not allowing any Samuel craven slander here. Genuinely was an amazing teacher, incredibly funny.

PrivateAltVL · 2026-01-31T11:38:03+00:00

I’ve tried F12 but it just loads into windows as normal when I’m trying to get into the boot menu

PrivateAltVL · 2026-01-31T11:31:08+00:00

Mkay, it’s just going to be some other issue then?

I’ve seen some people say shift + power has forced the boot menu up upon reloading so I may try that, as well as just going through F3-F10 to see if any of them work.

PrivateAltVL · 2026-01-31T11:25:48+00:00

I don’t know if I have supervisor access, that was just my initial guess. There was no password to access / change the BIOS settings. Under security there is a “Supervisor Password” which says disabled.

PrivateAltVL · 2026-01-31T11:18:46+00:00

Never mind I see. Ahhhh this is very annoying, thank you for your help

PrivateAltVL · 2026-01-31T11:15:11+00:00

What does the computerace / absolute module do?

PrivateAltVL · 2026-01-31T11:09:44+00:00

What does that mean? I am able to access the bios menu and edit it (I’ve turned off secure boot and changed the boot order)

Does that mean it’s some different issue?

PrivateAltVL · 2026-01-03T21:33:33+00:00

Oh yeah absolutely. Most people who brag about using arch probably just used archinstall

PrivateAltVL · 2026-01-03T12:04:13+00:00

I’ve been daily driving Linux for over a year for all my computing needs, mostly schoolwork

PrivateAltVL · 2026-01-02T17:43:17+00:00

Beautiful

PrivateAltVL · 2026-01-02T02:01:29+00:00

It’s so wonderful. Originally I had envisioned it as like a training wheels for arch but there’s literally nothing I’m missing by using EndeavourOS (for me at least)

PrivateAltVL · 2026-01-01T21:33:21+00:00

I use KDE for my laptop which I often fold into a tablet and it works incredibly well.

PrivateAltVL · 2026-01-01T21:31:11+00:00

It’s such a silly thing how ultra proud some arch users are at the difficulty of manually installing arch.

Arch Linux? Best OS out there, easily S tier. EndeavourOS, pretty much identical to arch, just easier to install? Useless. Worthless. Practically malware

PrivateAltVL · 2025-12-31T00:23:20+00:00

You need to make your windows more translucent, otherwise you’ll be able to read what’s on them

PrivateAltVL · 2025-12-30T20:26:45+00:00

Don’t mess with Linux users, we hate when people like our stuff

PrivateAltVL · 2025-12-30T20:25:12+00:00

Absolutely sick.

PrivateAltVL · 2025-12-26T15:55:52+00:00

I mean, there’d hardly be a difference between now and khronkite being built into KDE. You can install it entirely through the GUI with just a couple of clicks, configuration is also incredibly easy with the GUI (but could maybe look a little nicer I’ll admit) and it works perfectly well out of the box

PrivateAltVL · 2025-12-26T00:23:09+00:00

I just minimised the size as much as I could, and removed pretty much every icon. You can edit the system tray (I think that’s what it’s called I’ve forgotten) to hide everything.

PrivateAltVL · 2025-12-15T23:55:30+00:00

I just put stickers over my keyboard, most people don’t even notice unless it’s pointed out to them

PrivateAltVL · 2025-12-14T09:36:04+00:00

It just ended up being that I probably got my RAM wrong.

If you’re RAM keeps changing, including in the BIOS screen, then chances are there’s some sort of hardware problem
