I am facing a very peculiar issue here with my Linux and Windows dual installation. I can't boot into BIOS for the love of God.

I can't even see my bootable USB drive in the boot options.

Here's a little backstory:

I've been daily driving Windows and CachyOS dual boot. Windows mainly for gaming, which needed Secure Boot to be enabled, which CachyOS had been handling really well. But recently, due to some problems I faced with the upstream kernel and various other personal reasons, I decided to dual boot Fedora with my Win11 installation, for which I disabled Secure Boot as I was using Ventoy. Everything was fine and dandy; it installed fine.

The problem arose when I tried to boot into BIOS/UEFI. It got stuck on the boot logo of my laptop. I had faced this issue in CachyOS too, so I was like, no biggie, and did what I did with CachyOS: turned my laptop off, pressed the hardware reset button, and again tried to boot into the BIOS/UEFI. It prompted me for a password, which I entered, then it was just a black screen. I couldn't even move the mouse pointer it showed, so I force-shut it down by pressing the power-off button.

Next time I tried booting into my BIOS, I faced the same issue of the boot logo only showing. I turned the laptop off, pressed the hardware reset button, and again tried booting into the BIOS. Same stuff. I was like, interesting, and started searching for a fix. I found one too. It needed me to boot into a Live environment, remove the pointer to the Linux bootloader, and make changes to my BIOS settings and boot. BUT if I enabled Secure Boot, I couldn't again boot into the Live ISO to regenerate the boot manager configuration, so I ditched that idea.

Then I decided to start from a clean slate. Start from booting Windows only and dual boot Fedora after I found out that if you only burn Fedora to the USB, you can boot and install Fedora fine even with Secure Boot enabled. So I downloaded RUFUS in my Windows installation, burned Windows 10 onto it, and again tried to reformat the drive.

Then I arrived at another roadblock. The USB drive is not showing in the boot order menu. It shows fine in both Windows and Linux installations. After I put it in and verify it's showing, I rebooted to the boot order menu, but it was still not showing it.

Now neither can I re-install nor can I enable Secure Boot, and I'm stuck with this installation.

Here's what I tried to boot into BIOS:

• As stated earlier, continuously pressing F2 (Acer's BIOS key)
• Use Windows to reboot into UEFI firmware settings
• Use systemctl to reboot into UEFI settings
• Use GRUB's menu to boot into UEFI settings
• And many, many more

Any help, suggestion, fix is highly appreciated. Thanks again for help

So.. the thing is I am needed to work with multiple files 5-7 at the same time and need to jump between them constantly. I'd like something a plugin/inbuilt system to help me navigate those :) Here is my journey so far

Neovim Marks

This was the first one I used. Pretty great, ngl, but reaching ` to constantly was a hassle, and I couldn't even manage my marks, so... I tried it for a few weeks before deciding it's not for me.

Snipe.nvim and arrow.nvim

I used it a while ago, so I don't remember the exact specifics (sorry about that :P), but it needed me to open a menu instead of directly switching to a file I needed, so I used it for a few days and then decided it doesn't fit in my use case. I might give both plugins a try again, though. :)

Harpoon

I guess this is the most famous among the ones I've tried, and Prime larping about it too much. So I gave it a shot, pretty intuitive NGL, and loved it too. I need to work with multiple files, and this seems like the best and safest bet because, AFAIK, it leverages the inbuilt Neovim mark system. I had it bound to <C-h>, <C-j>, <C-k>, <C-l>, and <C-;>, but if I had more than 5 files, then it fell flat on its face. Then I started using g<num>. Pretty good, but needing to reach to the numrow every time to change files is such a hassle :(

I'm still using it. Don't get me wrong, it gets the work done just fine, but it adds a certain amount of friction that I didn't get with <C-<letter>>.

So, any suggestions on what I can do? I don't even know what I want, which is the hardest part. I want something to just fit into my workflow without creating friction. Thanks for the read, and any and all suggestions are welcome.

Ok, I'd like to preface this by saying I absolutely love the UI/UX of zen and how seamlessly everything is bound together BUT the RAM usage is absolutely off the top.

Ok, some of it may be my fault because I've got 5 workspaces and around 20+ essential tabs and 10+ pinned tabs across 5 workspaces and also around 10+ inactive tabs. and most of the time only one workspace is used with few essential tabs I'm actually using but IDK how zen just takes bonkers amount of RAM

Second reason I've switched is because it's chromium based browser and some websites are just optimized for it, one issue I've faced is video not loading/crashing in github when I'm trying to play in firefox based browser, it may be because of my missing codecs.

I'd love to use zen but because of these issues I'm forced to look for chromium based alternatives.

If you guys have any solution to these problems I'd love to know about it.
