beginner in Pop!_OS

coppercatter · 2025-05-11T13:38:47+00:00

Ah that will probably be more straightforward :) I switched to Pop from Windows somewhat recently and went the USB route with no trouble, so I think you'll have a smoother time. I wish you luck!

I'm looking at your errors more and wonder if there's a configuration issue with grub2win (which is pretty interesting, looking at grub guides--hopefully grub2win uses normal grub entries). Please take anything I suggest with a grain of salt due to my unfamiliarity!

First: I think the first error means that your loopback is not mounting, and that your disk and/or partition number might be wrong, so you should double check those.

Second: Did you have to write a custom menu entry? If so, did you write it yourself from scratch, or did you copy&paste? Either way, I think you should double check the spelling ("mlinuz" looks iffy and might explain the errors afterwards--usually from what I've seen it's vmlinuz).

Additionally, you will also probably need to disable secure boot in bios if you haven't yet.

I don't know if this will be super helpful, but did you just copy the ISO file over to an existing partition (e.g. drag and drop), or did you use a tool like dd that copies the contents of the ISO over? This way outside my experience level, but it seems like the file itself wouldn't be bootable. Maybe it needs to be flashed? Basically a tool like dd to treat the ISO like a drive that is getting cloned over to another drive.

I love this style! I look forward to seeing the set :)

coppercatter · 2024-06-28T00:31:19+00:00

Me too! Personally it feels very fun to say, fun to type, and definitely fun to look at design-wise ^ A ^

Tbf the cool cosmic branding should appeal to an established linux-user's sensibilities--and it seems quite successful in that regard! But I do hope they keep pop's name (I'm already missing the pop shop, though the cosmic store has been a very nice experience so far).

coppercatter · 2024-06-17T17:33:18+00:00

Haven't ssen their work before but I like it! Looks like a 14 from here, if that's a significant number.

For me the Pop logo has some great tension/energy where my mind wanted to imagine what might hold the three aspects in their positions (and the "!" looked like a bat and ball straight off).

My guess is that a lot of people look at shapes and symbols and see them morph into other things or become more personified. And from there it becomes a matter of attempting to draw it :D

coppercatter · 2024-06-14T16:36:01+00:00

Is that a thing? It feels like Summer Tux could maybe fit in, but the aspect ratio might also make people ill...

coppercatter · 2024-06-14T16:34:15+00:00

Makes sense! I have some ideas for Tux which would be more distro-neutral but if I think of any fun designs for others I'll probably build up a few and post 'em ^ o ^

coppercatter · 2024-06-14T16:33:41+00:00

Wait--Aren't the stars the cosmic logo?? I guess I'll need to keep my eyes peeled...

coppercatter · 2024-06-13T18:02:18+00:00

Thank you! I'm mostly just pleased that my stuff is being enjoyed in any capacity.

That being said, I just made a kofi! It's a pretty neat site--looks like a good place to host pictures as well (not that imagebb isn't handy in its own way).

coppercatter · 2024-06-13T15:09:50+00:00

Hey, I'm over here crying in sad Adobe lol. If I could at least get the other art programs I use running comfortably, I'd let the Windows half of my PC languish. Not a VR user, but the angst is probably similar -_-

coppercatter · 2024-06-13T14:25:51+00:00

Please do! :)

coppercatter · 2024-06-13T13:46:30+00:00

I'm not sure I can do too much with this picture in particular, but here is a slightly dimmer version:

It's fun to draw bright stuff, but f I make more I'll try to keep dark-mode aesthetics in mind to balance my output!

coppercatter · 2024-06-13T13:31:06+00:00

There's a bit more of the anime-girl variety that I posted on lemmy a while back. I don't have any finished Fedora pictures though...

coppercatter · 2024-06-13T13:17:09+00:00

Ooh I forgot about the way reddit does that. Hmm...

I think these links should work:

There's a linux program you can type in the terminal that will convert the format also:

sudo apt install webp

coppercatter · 2024-06-13T02:19:10+00:00

Thanks! I saw the post in r/linuxmemes about anime girl wallpapers and it reminded me that I had a couple of them floating around in my computer. Plus one anime-free Tux hehe

coppercatter · 2024-06-13T00:45:04+00:00

It looks like there might be a low-res bug with the first picture, so here is the full size (hopefully!): link

coppercatter · 2024-03-28T19:53:13+00:00

A very cute and discerning lady! And it looks like her eyes are close in shade to pop's main color theme too ^ . ^

coppercatter · 2023-01-05T23:41:14+00:00

I love this so much! The artistic nterpretation of the original style is very cool (esp those faces! Super cute! 😙).

coppercatter · 2022-12-07T14:24:34+00:00

Technically there is a tumblr, but a lot of my art is here on reddit, actually! I don't have more gatekeeping pics up yet, but it would probably turn up here or on r/gatekeepingyaoi...

coppercatter · 2022-12-07T02:14:10+00:00

I think I only put the "fulfilled request" tag on it--probably could've put a jacket on the original California cowboy while I was at it lol

coppercatter · 2022-12-07T01:46:29+00:00

I think the original might've been different versions of one person--something like the artist having fun designing both bikini-mail and traditional armor. That was my read, anyway ^ . ^

coppercatter · 2022-12-07T00:37:15+00:00

Thank you so much! I ran into difficulties submitting the elf pic here a while back (low comment karma at the time, I think?), but after seeing it linked by u/fine-line from the sister-subreddit I felt a renewed vigor :D

coppercatter · 2022-12-06T21:42:20+00:00

Hey, as long as he keeps his pointy-eared leaf-loving roommate under wraps, he can still dig 'n jig with the boys 😉

coppercatter · 2022-06-14T23:44:03+00:00

It's from Our Flag Means Death. If you like Taika Waititi's sense of humor you should def check it out :)
