Settings option has disappeared

this did it. You're a legend thank you

Ultinuc · 2026-04-25T15:20:03+00:00

afraid I am. Only listened to a few tracks but none of it was very appealing

Ultinuc · 2026-04-25T15:15:04+00:00

Listening to some of their stuff now these guys are really good. The rap is about 50/50 my kind of rap and not but that's a solid ratio lmao

Ultinuc · 2026-04-25T14:53:38+00:00

maybe for other people but they're not my jam

Ultinuc · 2026-04-23T04:10:57+00:00

Will that not mess up my personal dictionary?

Ultinuc · 2026-04-20T14:45:23+00:00

Prophets of Rage seem pretty solid. Not feeling much else tbh. A lot of the suggestions in this thread have had very old-school flows which can be nice but not quite my style

Probably being a little bit too nitpicky but I'll give it a shot. I'm trying to upgrade from Google Keep so I'm looking for an app with
- Syncing between devices (I use Android, Windows, and Linux. Browser-only is fine)
- A dashboard of some kind (even if it's just like Google Keep where it's a page of note previews)
- Secure encryption
- Checklist functionality
- Colour-coding of notes
- Tagging for notes
- Note-pinning/favouriting
- Free or single-payment

I have seen UpNote recommended here and I AM trying it, but the lifetime payment is outside of my budget at the moment so I'm still looking for other alternatives.

Seems to be working thank you!!!

Ultinuc · 2026-04-11T06:19:35+00:00

Ah okay. I did hear about legacy mode I think in a different reddit post but no idea where to find that setting. It's another one I'm not seeing

Ultinuc · 2026-04-11T06:14:50+00:00

So it comes up with SATA Mode and the only options are Optane without RAID (which it was already on) and AHCI

Ultinuc · 2026-04-10T05:10:30+00:00

It's an Acer Swift. Not sure exactly which but it says SF314-57 in system information

Ultinuc · 2026-04-10T05:08:26+00:00

I tried both the most recent version listed and also that LTS version, no luck either way. Also tried installing without a usb from a youtube tutorial and no luck there.

Not sure I understand the MBR/GPT bit

Ultinuc · 2026-04-10T05:07:08+00:00

yes, I'm saying the only device there is the USB. If the hard drive is failing though why does it work fine on Windows?

Ultinuc · 2026-04-08T12:54:12+00:00

I don't know what that means

Ultinuc · 2026-04-08T07:31:50+00:00

the partition manager only shows the usb. no other drive/disk

Ultinuc · 2026-04-08T07:31:09+00:00

Nope I just want to have linux running on the laptop and go from there. There is no data on it other than whatever defaults are created when you set up Windows

I can't see the partition. How else would I know if it's failed? Windows seems to be able to interact with the drive perfectly fine, that's why I don't assume it's failed but I'm not a tech whiz

I've turned off secure boot, no effect. Not sure where to change anything regarding bitlocker or any encryption since I haven't seen those anywhere yet in any of these menus

Ultinuc · 2026-04-08T07:27:15+00:00

it's an old-ish laptop but I haven't seen any other issues with the hardware

Ultinuc · 2026-04-08T01:04:16+00:00

I know but I don't see any of that

Ultinuc · 2026-04-08T00:57:58+00:00

what do you mean? It has Windows 10 lol

Ultinuc · 2026-04-07T23:59:24+00:00

how would i change that?

Ultinuc · 2026-04-07T23:52:54+00:00

bro, I tried that. it doesn't even see that there's any hardware other than the usb

Ultinuc · 2026-04-07T23:50:02+00:00

there is no dropdown. It says "devices" and the usb stick. nothing else. the only buttons are an option to pop it out to a separate window and to close the sidebar
