  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.

  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    For me it was migrating my Arch install from EXT4 to ZFS. GRUB had to be configured in particular ways to get it to work with ZFS and I didn't do it properly so it wouldn't/couldn't boot.

    Then I updated ZFS to a version that wasn't supported by GRUB yet so I chrooted into my installation to switch to Systemd-boot with Unified Kernel Images. Now I still can't figure out how to add a boot entry for Windows. I followed the proper steps I think but selecting the Windows entry just reloads Systemd-boot.
