I’ve also got the Linux Basics for Hackers book but it’s at home while I’m on vacation.
I’m just really happy rn yall :) this install took some work, SecureBoot kept getting in the way and I’m not the most savvy person so there was a lot of Googling and trial and error in the way of getting here.
Honestly, I consider myself moderately tech savvy. But I also had issues with SecureBoot when installing Linux. It really doesn’t help when every single BIOS has different settings and they all want to make everything as poorly worded and unintuitive as humanly possible.
“Oh, you want an on/off toggle for SecureBoot? Sorry, no. Let’s just fuck with you until you either brick your motherboard or somehow manage to install Linux.”
My congratulations! You’ve managed to get past the most difficult hurdle.
To be fair, writing technical documentation for this shit is possibly the most unpleasant job in the world. After 5 minutes I desperately want to fuck off and get high.
