Thank you for your response, but I’ve already managed to install Mint, but thanks for your info, as during startup and shutdown I still see these errors popping up.

My boot order is fixed to default to Linux Mint on its own drive, Windows boot as a backup for photoshop and the couple of games that don’t work within Linux.

I’ll see if the errors will keep popping up after disconnecting the optical drive.

My pc does have one, but it’s unused for a while… Would disconnecting it prevent a bunch of these errors? Or can I ask for it to not check the CD drive? I keep seeing these error on occasion, even after installing Linux Mint and running it for a bit.

Same, I’ve had to surf along with The Neighbours to find something close by and stable…

Ah, I didn’t check the USB stick itself.

Just checked, the stick is 2.0, so that shouldn’t be the issue.

Don’t have another PC I can use to test and I’m quite a noob in anything that isn’t surface level Windows usage (I have messed with the registry a tiny bit, but purely following a guide) so VMs are close to magic for me.

Got recommended to check the USB ports (thanks to @[email protected] ) and if that doesn’t work I’ll reflash using other tools than Balena. Will post an update once I’ve tried this.

Thanks for the help

Will have to check which USB ports are which, after 12+ years not checking my hardware I’m a bit rusty on all this. Windows made it too easy to not bother, but now that Windows10 support ends by the end of this year I should be more aware of what I have and what may need some upgrading.

Got recommended to try Ventoy or Rufus instead of Balena, so I’ll be reflashing once I’m home again. Thanks for the quick response

Aber quoi denkt du de onze unoffiziëllen langue?

Especially as it’s making fun of all the rappers he is imitating.

That would be the Romans, sir. Maybe even people that preceded them, but they Romans perfected it.

Yeah, had to double check if I wasn’t having a stroke…

Yeah, and when you check the detail pages of the games and other software you are upgrading it for it’ll turn out the 6 megadong tri-actor unit should work well in general, but there’s a certain crashing bug near the end of this game I already bought that the devs haven’t patched yet…

And even after all those considerations modded Minecraft will be just about functional.

Undiagnosed autism here with suspected ADHD, I feel called out by this entire list, and much of that is because I/we have had to figure it all out by ourselves.

Turns out I’m so good at masking I forget to admit to myself I’m not feeling well…

While I’m not a professional, I suspect help with management of your ADHD may be more appropriate than Time travel…

Just past week restarted the game and I love finding random Tenno in these comments. Hadn’t played for a year or more and it’s still going strong with exciting new content free for everyone to play. If you’re bored of the loot-n-shoot part you can go fishing, decorating, trading, horseriding and whatever else is in the game.

Also love to look for streamers starting fresh and reliving the awe of the game through them.

Name of my next band

Aww, us silent readers were just getting into the story. I want to know how it ends.

Now we have this whole concept we ourselves need to figure out how it goes, I can’t do that on my own.

I do know a guy who’s very much into LARP, maybe I should brainstorm this with him and invite the weird, bearded, 40yo Warhammer-guy to see if he can add a character.

How much is a rulebook nowadays? Do I have time this weekend?

Sorry what were we doing?

Pray his soul still lives on as a machinespirit in the many CDs that are still around.

35 checking in.

Just checked my last.fm page, Linkin Park is still my most listened artist since registering in 2020

But the fucking scream in Given Up still breaks me. Even more since his death.
