Instructions unclear, toes sticking out front of shoes.

I've never run Debian, but I did use Fedora on a laptop with Gnome for several years and it was rock solid.

I've spent the last two nights trying to rescue a windows installation from a rescue usb, and no amount of BCD recovery seems to help. It has forced me to take a closer look at the EFI partition, but even deleting it outright and recreating it from scratch still won't boot. I think there must be something corrupted and I should just give up and reinstall. That's windows for ya...

An example of something I just don't understand, after deleting and recreating the EFI partition, and using bcdboot to repopulate it, I now see two Windows Boot Manager BBS entries listed in BIOS. No idea why, no idea how to find out. One site said I must have multiple entries in my BCD, but bcdedit just shows the standard {bootmgr} and {default} OS entries.

Ohh, is that actually what it does? No resize? So if the window is already maximized, does it do nothing? I feel like resizing to 1/4 of the screen is the most intuitive thing for that operation to do, I'm surprised if it doesn't.

Is it just me or does no one actually know how any of it works, and everyone relies on a mixture of grub-install, os-prober, Boot Repair, bootcfg, and random internet guides to make it all work? I dual boot windows and linux and I don't understand where any of the boot files actually live or how they function. It feels like the deeper I dig, the more nondeterministic it all is.

What do "moves the screen" vs "fills the quadrant" mean? I'm not running cinnamon, but "Move window to upper right" really sounds like it should do what you're asking, provided I understand what you're asking.

I would be interested in a solution to OP's specific question. I have a friend who will play a particular annoying meme clip over discord. I would like something that can listen for that clip being played, and immediately disconnect him from the voice channel 😁.

Doesn't need to be perfect. Misfires are also acceptable.

Did I read that right? What are you printing from your steam deck?

You're saying you see a bunch of login attempts on your router, but you don't think they actually got into it?

I would assume that wouldn't cause so much contention that the system is unusable, though, right? Unless they're busy waiting.

Framework announced their B-stock systems for $500. That's going to be your best bet for relatively new, upgradable, and kind close to $300.

Otherwise, gonna have to go used, and good luck with upgradability since everyone's been soldering everything on for a decade.

Sounds like OP is asking about file storage. Video streaming could be spotted using info leaked regarding traffic behavior. But uploading an encrypted file for storage shouldn't leak anything except the size.
