Literata and Bitter Pro are the ones I switch between on my kobo.

That’s why HDMI needs to die and display port needs to take over. The TV industry is too big for that to happen of course. They make a shit ton of money off of HDMI

I have one for my git repos that I clone and keep building from source. One for various projects. One for scripts…. And so on

Good to know. Thank you for posting this.

Thank you. And man, I so want to do this. Is there a tutorial that you know of that is good? I don’t even know what to search for, to be honest. I do want to build an image and work on it for a little while and then when I feel that it is ready, I want to install it on my pc. So basically, I want to reinstall my Cachy OS system, but I don’t want to start from scratch. I want to build it in a VM, and add all of my apps to it and configure everything until it is a 100% match of my current system. Without any of my personal files because for that, I have a dejadup back up that I’ll just restore to the new install.

What’s the worst thing that could happen? I say give it a shot

They look nice. Have you tried creating a PR for them? Maybe the dev will accept them?

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.

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

Thank you. I just disabled secure boot altogether

I’m a paranoid person when it comes to software. Rest assured that it will be the right disk. lol

That’s pretty awesome that you can actually take a VM and make it an actual OS. I seriously need to learn how to do that. Also, the only thing I was mostly told is that the new motherboard might not know where the boot partition is, so like you said, I may need to chroot and let it know where it is. I have been told that it is just

sudo pacman -S grub

and

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

. And I’m not sure if that is it or if there is something else I may need to run. I have moved an SSD from PC to another before and it was plug-n-play. Like it just booted right away into the system. So not sure. I’ll see what happens.

Man, if it is as easy as just installing grub, then I’m golden. cachy-chroot will take care of that

Thank you. cachy-chroot is very nice. I didn’t know it even existed. If I can get Linux to boot then windows is easy to get boot, too.

That and a friend of mine has given me a key a long while ago that I haven’t used yet.

I’ll do everything in my power to not reinstall. I’ve put so much work into this install and I don’t want to redo it all. These two motherboards are essentially identical. Same company, same socket, same everything. I’m only getting pcie 4.0 on the new one and an extra slot for a second NVME. The new cpu is the same. Going from R7 5700G to R7 5800xt

What do you mean by match the settings? What settings?

I’m not worried about the license issue on windows. I actually do have the code saved up because I have always known that it ties it to the mobo.

Some reviewers on Amazon even mentioned that it worked on Linux just fine.

I’m not too worried about the architecture more than I am about the boot partitions getting messed up. Will see. I’ll actually post about it here when it’s all done.
