From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

An update on the move from one motherboard to another. (lemmy.world)

Hi all, Just wanted to update y’all about the move. Windows worked with zero issues, it just rebooted a couple of time and then took over the boot menu, and I couldn’t get to grub. Basically windows told grub to kick rocks and put itself at the top of the boot sequence. No big deal and fixed it real quick.

Grub did get messed up, it wasn’t there. A chroot from a live environment, and a couple of commands fixed it.

All good and running now. :) Thank you so much to all who replied and helped. Y’all are amazing <3

Thank you. I've actually separated their boot partitions from each other a long time ago since each one is on a separate drive. Windows still wanted to take over, no sir. Smacked it around and it chilled down. Lol

Fucking hell I didn't know they even went across different drives now. I'll keep using promox then lol

lol. Yup. Windows first checks for an efi partition. If there is one, it uses it, if there isn’t, it the creates its own. At first I didn't know this, and every time I reinstalled my Linux system, windows is gone from the boot menu. It was a mystery until some random person online told me that. So, I then manually moved windows’ boot partition and gave it to it, and then deleted it from being in the same folder with the Linux one. Lucky for me, I always give the Linux boot partition a whole 1GB even though people recommend 300MiB or 500.
