General California's age verification laws are getting out of hand. Now someone's opened a PR to add a mandatory birth date field to archinstall

Why are these people so motivated to comply with this shitty law. I cant use arch with mandatory age verification

Discussion Dual booted Arch Linux with AI help, but never really learned Linux — where do I go from here?

0 Upvotes

I dual booted arch quite a long time ago and never really had much problem with it because I didn't manually install it, i always had gemini by my side and it felt like things were quite easy but I think I didn't get to learn much because of that, what do I need to do from here on to learn more

Question What to backup when reinstalling arch?

3 Upvotes

So, it has finally happened and after around a year of dual-booting arch, it has finally broken. I’m going to reinstall it, but I’m not sure how to do it. What should I take from the old install so that most things are as they were, and what shouldn’t I take so that it doesn’t instantly break again?

I straight up thought that I couldn't get Liquid Glass on Liux because of Linux or whatever but I recently jailbroke my iPhone SE and got Liquid Glass on there so my desire to get Liquid Glass on my desktop grew and here we are, for anyone who wants the links to the tools I used, here you go. But on top of wanting the Liquid Glass aestetic I also like Frytiger Aero and Apple's new design is what I believe to be a love to that. Anyways, I hope this helps someone who wants a MacOS26 environment on their Linux System

Help/Support Title: Can’t boot into Windows from USB – keeps sending me back to BIOS (currently using Arch Linux)

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m currently running Arch Linux, and I’m trying to switch back to Windows. However, I’m having trouble booting from my Windows installation USB.

Whenever I select the USB drive in the BIOS boot menu, the PC attempts to boot from it but sends me straight back to the BIOS instead of launching the Windows installer.

I’ve already enabled Secure Boot in the BIOS, but the problem still persists.

My problem:

  • I’m currently using Arch Linux.
  • I want to reinstall Windows using a bootable USB drive.
  • When I select the USB drive as the boot device, I end up back in the BIOS.
  • Secure Boot is enabled, but it doesn’t seem to help.

Has anyone experienced this issue or knows how to fix it?

Could this be related to the USB creation method, UEFI settings, Secure Boot, or something else?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
