  • Open windows and shrink your boot partition by whatever you want Linux to take. Leave the space unallocated and delete any secondary partitions you may have already created in the first failed installation.

    Then, start the Linux installation again and see if that works.

    If you have a second drive that’s a much better choice because windows will regularly fuck up the Linux part of the bootloader and good luck fixing it.

    Go log into windows, backup the second drive files somewhere else and format it, then install Linux there.

    I just hop into my uefi menu on boot and select the windows disk to load whenever required instead of a dual boot bootloader because I know windows will not damage it



  • I was once fired from a helpdesk job because a security guy overheard me summarizing a Kevin Mitnick book to a coworker, thought I was planing to do what I was explaining and notified my supervisor, who informed his supervisor and so on until it went all the way to the fucking CEO and back.

    I was summoned to HR the next day and I had to explain in writing to 5 different people that they’re all idiots and show them the book I was referring to.

    I applied for a different position in the same company 3 months later and was hired for another 8 months.
