If democrats could have managed to find a likable candidate in 2016 things would be different. How could you find someone more likable than Hillary?

We burned everything back then: books, bras,

But how did you register?

For me, it’s just a matter of finding various forum posts from other people trying to get it working, and applying different suggested fixes until something works (ideally).

I’m no stranger to that. I guess it’s a matter of motivation at this point.

That’s reassuring. I think it’s capable but it may be windows secure boot messing it up. Not familiar with bcdedit but I could try.

I only do audio production on my laptop. All browsing is come on my phone whenever possible. The software in my workflow is all Linux compatible and the distros I’m interested in are geared toward that focus. That said I would appreciate the convenience of having windows for now still. Especially since there are some plugins I occasionally use which unfortunately aren’t Linux compatible.

It’s at least 5 years old. I’ll look into secure boot. I wouldn’t be against ditching windows entirely but I’m not sure I’m up for transferring all my files over right now. No way my laptop supports another drive unfortunately

Edit: however much to my surprise I did find an official service guide

I feel like those were the settings I used in Rufus. Sounds like legacy support might be what I need, thanks.

I would really appreciate that in fact.

I tried Rufus and UNetbootin, both on the windows 10 machine I’m intending to try Linux on, to a 32gb flash drive (I tried two different ones actually). I used an AV Linux ISO and Ubuntu Studio ISO. I have not tried Ventoy.

It’s an HP. I’ll have to check the model. I went through the bios, and while admittedly it’s been some time, I thought everything seemed right. I recall trying to change the priority.

It wouldn’t boot at all. Windows just forces its way through.

Edit: I looked I to Ventoy a bit. I’ll give it a try tomorrow.

Why is it number 1 though

Just install Linux on your laptop or desktop.

I have been trying

I don’t think my laptop likes to boot from a USB, things used to be so much easier. Maybe I need to try a DVD.

I need to find a DVD.

Exactly, I really wish I had drank a bit more before moving out. I would have made way less of a fool of myself once I did. Only bright side is we were all fools and amazingly I wasn’t the biggest one.

Some words can be dropped, some can’t. Language isn’t consistent. Especially for headlines, they practically have their own rules.

No offense intended by this question at all, but are you a native English speaker?

Nominal sentence

Nominal sentences in English are relatively uncommon, but may be found in non-finite embedded clauses such as the one in “I consider John intelligent”, where to be is omitted from John to be intelligent.

They can also be found in newspaper headlines, such as “Jones Winner” where the intended meaning is with the copular verb, “Jones is the Winner”.[9]

Other examples are proverbs (“More haste, less speed”); requests (“Scalpel!”); and statements of existence (“Fire in the hole!”), which are often warnings.

For India’s garbage pickers, a miserable and dangerous job [is] made worse by extreme heat

That’s a full thought. I probably would have kept the “is” but headlines often drop small words.

Did they change the title since your comment?

A lot going against us for sure.

Should I watch Sophie’s Choice?

I think we have a lot going for us.

That sounds like a choice
