Hi, I need some help with my setup. I'm running CachyOS and Windows on separate drives. My bootloader is limine. Recently I wanted to enable Secure Boot because a game I want to play requires it.

I followed the wiki and everything seemed to work fine. But then the next day I got an missmatch error and had to boot into a live iso and copy the limine_x64.efi to the BOOTX64.EFI. Now everytime I do an update or install something (I think it's when a new snapshot is created) these two files get out of sync again.

before and after an update

So I manually have to sync them again every time something changes. I don't think is was the intended outcome of the tutorial in the wiki but I also don't really know how to fix this.

Hi, I've got a problem since switching to Mint from Windows. As said in the title my microphone stops working when I enter a Discord call. It gets fixed if I stop Discord, wait and start it again and then it even works in the call but this seems to happen almost every time I join a call and is pretty annoying.

When the mic is working the gain in the sound menu is showing some low gain static but as soon as I enter the call it completly drops to nothing.

Does someone know a way to fix this?

My Audio Interface is the Elgato Wave XLR

edit: I did not apply this WaveXLR on Linux fix because I did the first time and it completly stopped working so I reinstalled Mint and found out it mostly works out of the box.

I have been trying to install Ubuntu on my old Z400 Workstation. At first it froze in the loading screen of the Ubuntu Live Boot Stick. After more googling I found out that a BIOS update could help (source).
So I downloaded the newest Firmware and put it on an USB stick (I made sure it's FAT32) when I click on the "Flash System ROM" it let's me choose the USB Drive and I have to press F10. When I do this the system freezes I waited for 20 minutes to make sure it froze and it wasn't updading in the background but eventually I pressed the Power button.
Pressing the power button instantly shuts it off and the bios is still working afterwards. According to every guide I should be able to select the Firmware I want to update to but I can't even get this far.

I know this isn't really the right sub for this but I don't know where to post it. Maybe someone here could help me out.
