I would go into the reasons for choosing to dual boot but nobody cares so I'll get to the point.

Been trying to dual boot, used an old cheap laptop (ThinkPad x260) I had with windows sata SSD as a trial.

1. Cleared 80GB space for it

2. Used ventoy and 2026.08.01 iso

3. Used cfisk to create the following:

a) sda5, 1GB, efi

b) sda6, 30GB, Linux filesystem

c) sda7, 49GB, Linux filesystem

4. Formatted sda5 as f32

5. Formatted sda6 as ext4

6. Formatted sda7 as ext4

7. Mounted sda6 as /mnt

8. Made /mnt/boot and /mnt/home with mkdir

9. Mounted sda5 as /mnt/boot and sda7 as /mnt/home

10. Went into archinstall and did the basics like swap, pipewire, account, root password, chose Linux and Linux lts for my kernel

11. Went into disk configuration and put the root mount directory as /mnt

12. Put my bootloader as grub (only two options)

13. Chose my DE and GPU driver

14. Chose install and then it comes up with an error that I can't read in time and then I can't do the appropriate stuff with grub to recognise the other efi, something about the system not supporting it when I've used the laptop to install arch before

After all that, tried rebooting and it goes straight to windows, can't change bootloader in bios (presumably because there's only the windows one due to the error)

I've heard of grub not being very suitable for dual booting and I've tried looking at tutorials but following them doesn't change it. I'm too much of a moron to understand the wiki so that isn't really an option so I'm confused.

One of the other tutorials recommended refind but my archinstall doesn't have that, even after updating it so I assume it's not normally used

Bought this game like 2 years ago for dirt cheap on cdkeys and to put it lightly, not really a fan of the gameplay (or some of the batfamily designs). However, instead of this being a hate post I will not elaborate further on that.

I want to play the full story, including whatever side quests because I hear the story isn't actually *that* bad

So how do I actually get good at the gameplay? It feels very unintuitive, I get that it isn't the Arkham saga but it still feels awful and clunky. Is that due to being early on? Would it be worth just taking somebody's 100% NG+ file to do NG+ instead?

Multiplayer is not an option either. I'm on Reddit, I have no friends. I'm not interested in playing with randoms either

I've been passing through more of moon knights comics recently and just finished the lemire part of 2016 but I'm a little confused

My understanding from the original 1980 run, before Marc's DiD, was that khonshu (not confirmed to be real at the time) only used Marc *after* the events at the tomb. 2006 building on that. 

2014 also felt like it was that way where khonshu says in like #3 that as long as they have been together, Marc has been collecting Egyptian stuff, indicating that khonshu hasn't been a lifelong thing 

But then 2016 comes along and it really confused me about khonshu. Suddenly he's been with Marc his entire life? Seemingly first showing up directly when Marc was initially diagnosed. Or is at least trying to convince Marc that he has been? 

However, in the first "legacy" issue of 2016 (#188), it's seemingly back to khonshu having first interacted with Marc in the tomb? 

Seems like there isn't really a direct answer, at least from what I've read yet.

Just finished 2000 (spectacular in story, not sure about the ending and the art style wasn't really my thing) and I don't really know what's next, since Cass is temporarily done with being batgirl I take it that it's not batgirl 2008?

Is it the start of cass' "evil arc" that I've heard about? If so, can I avoid it? I've heard it's dog water and don't really want to waste my time if it is

I've decided to finally get around to the knightfall stuff, then cataclysm and no mans land etc due to the upcoming movie trilogy

So I decided to look up any prerequisites for knightfall, not including prelude, and sword of Azrael was there which isn't a problem as I was going to get around to it at some point but I found a comment on a thread of a quite significant read order list and it made me ask myself, how much of this do I actually need to read before going to the next option?

Do I really need to read "legends of the dark mite" before I read "a death in the family"?

Do I really need to read "war drums/ games" to understand "under the red hood" just because it was released before? I certainly hope not, was reading batgirl 2000 and part of war games was in there so it seems like one of those events that are scattered everywhere

So what's the common consensus on the approach?

Recently bought an M4 air. Build quality unfortunately makes my framework 13 feel cheap (positive), although I still prefer the framework and my desktop.

However, one problem I have is macOS. It kind of feels clunky (especially finder), although that's probably due to me being used to kde, cinnamon and windows for all my life.

This leads me to ask, is there a way to change any of the following?:

1. The dock and top dashbar disappearing when I make an application full screen

2. Clicking on applications in the dock minimises them (edit, misphrased, meant that it doesn't do that)

3. Battery icon not showing percentage. Not really necessary now as the battery life is good enough where I don't really need to care for now but I just like it that way

4. lock screen and desktop wallpapers are the same, I don't want them to be

5. No keyboard shortcut to open finder (or shortcuts as a whole)

6. the stuff I don't want like apple TV, news, Siri etc appearing in launchpad

7. Finder not showing file directories. Or at least not at first glance. Just anything good instead of finder really.

I appreciate that there are probably a lot of posts like these, however this is potentially quicker and easier for me so I don't really care.

I'm fortunate enough to be able to go to the symphony from paradis performance in October, is it known what tracks are going to be played there yet?

I'm assuming stuff like Vogel im kafig are pretty much guaranteed but I can't find anything

I have recently decided that I want to switch to grapheneOS, unfortunately my nothing phone 3a pro doesn't support it (regret getting it, it looks cool and that's about all it does well). Therefore I need to switch to a Google phone

I've decided my two options are the 8 pro and the 10a. Both 256GB (bit of a bummer about size and no SD card but basically none do anymore outside of Sony)

What would you lean towards? I've looked at the spec, they're pretty similar CPU and ram wise, screen is better on 8 pro but general usage wise is what I'm looking for.

Is one more particular suitable for grapheneOS in personal experience? What about support wise in a couple of years?
