[help] Triple boot system lost one of the drives in Grub. in c/[email protected]

If the Debians you installed weren't Live ISOs, then I recommend Arch or Artix for CLI, and Manjaro or Ubuntu for GUI.

You'll have to mount the drives, chroot into the one on the drive that has the EFI partition, then grub-install and grub-mkconfig into the EFI partition.

Boot problems are really tricky to fix on the computer that's having them.

If any of your other OS's still boot, then use them to download a live ISO of your preferred linux distro, and write it to a USB stick.

Then you can diagnose the problem using a new boot environment that doesn't rely on the main disk.

You can't take three from two,
Two is less than three,
So you look at the four in the tens place.
Now that's really four tens,
So you make it three tens,
Regroup, and you change a ten to ten ones,
And you add them to the two and get twelve,
And you take away three, that's nine.
Is that clear?

So do I! When I saw that 9 stealing a 1 and becoming a 10, I thought "Wait... These are electrons. This is chemistry. That 9 is a halogen!"

The second one actually gave me half of a mental breakdown, but not because it was too violent for me.
One analysis that I read made the exact opposite conclusion that I made, and it showed me this: in the subject of English, two diametrically opposed points can both be equally correct! Nothing is fixed! Reality is mutable!

Could have just said man instead of ma'am. They sound almost the same.

[SOLVED] Looking for a Flash game (sh.itjust.works)

It was a 2D platformer, made sometime in the 2010s.

The main character was a penguin, who used an orange sword and a blue cybernetic boomerang as weapons.

In the description, the game was called "retro" or "retro-styled", and it looked like a cross between Mega Man X and Final Ninja Zero by Nitrome.

The game I'm looking for was probably not made by Nitrome.

The first level/tutorial was called "Like You Just Woke Up".

Can't select multiple tabs (sh.itjust.works)
 

When I click on a tab while holding Ctrl or Shift, it just switches me into that tab. On other browsers (Firefox, Vivaldi) it selects the tab instead. If I want to move tabs from one window into another, I have to move them one. at. a. time.

How do I fix this? I am on version 1.69.168 on Linux from the Flatpak.

Is it good practice to run a system without a syslog daemon? (sh.itjust.works)
 

If I'm using Arch or another minimal distro, is it a good idea to install a syslog daemon? Or can I go without?

On Cinnamon and LxQt, the trash is in ~/.local/share/Trash. Is it the same for all desktop environments?

Dark Reader extension doesn't work (sh.itjust.works)

I know that the dark mode setting is disabled by Resist Fingerprinting. I am not using that, I am using the Dark Reader extension. The extension still doesn't work, but it works on Firefox.

Other extensions I have installed: Ublock Origin, Decentraleyes, Skip Redirect, Onetab, Old Reddit Redirect

Librewolf version: 124.0.1-1

Looking for a simple, time-based night color control (sh.itjust.works)
 

I used to be on KDE. It had night color control integrated. Then I switched to XFCE, and it did not. So I installed Redshift.

Oops! Redshift requires location access so it can automatically set the color temperature based on the sun's position in the sky. Now it doesn't work when the network is deactivated. And on my system, I can't set it to redden/bluen based on the time only.

I go to AlternativeTo, to find an alternative. It looks like all of them do the same thing, or are discontinued.

Is that what everyone wants? Is that all that's out there? Just ""smart"" programs that access your location to automagically change the colors based on astronomical events?

Even on Windows you could set the night color control based on the time. Am I living in a backwards world where Linux uses the invasive complicated way and Windows uses the private simple way?

Is there a simple program out there that can set night color control with only the time, none of that other crap?
