Won’t be long now, unfortunately.

Perfectly on brand for Windows then lol

Oops typo I corrected it

Perfect I just wanted to make sure I was worried it may have automatically added them without the CD ROM one holding it in place or something like that. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! Its been a lot of fun learning and all of you on here have made it a super enjoyable experience.

Dude seriously and I can’t believe how many people don’t seem to see how sad that is in this thread.

Even if you hate this country or that, not even responding about it and keeping the code and using it anyway and only removing the attribution to the maintainers they removed (although that will escalate to banning them altogether I imagine this seems like a step one kind of thing) is just salt on the wound .

Super sad shit honestly.

I totally think them invading Ukraine is fucked up too but I also think the Israel situation is messed up too and would you be against someone maintaining code just because they are from Israel?

That would be wrong. Linux is supposed to be about more than political alignments its supposed to be a collaborative effort its always been about that.

This is wrong and its super wrong they don’t tell anyone what compliance they are following or who issued it to them which is also supposed to be against what open source is about.

I don’t agree with communists either but open source software is supposed to be about more than that

This is poetry

The problem is they aren’t even saying what those requirements are even after numerous inquiries about it.

Don’t you think its wrong to ban someone only because of their nationality? I mean for real man. Every country in the world has done some fucked up shit but open source software is supposed to go beyond politics and ideologies.

They weren’t doing anything malicious it was wrong to remove them.

Dude, WHAT. This is totally against what Linux and Open source in general stand for.

I don’t support the thing that I’m sure was their reason for this but I definitely don’t support banning someone from contributing to an open system solely off nationality.

So what eventually only the “good guys” can contribute to and use open source software? Who exactly decides who the “good guys” are in this scenario? USA? China?

The implications of what this can cause in the future for potentially all of the open source community is absolutely sad. We should welcome all our fellow human beings to contributing to open source.

This worked thank you so much!

Truthfully just am not an experienced enough user to understand all the potential risks of having it enabled although I’m figuring out now that pretty much every distro I’ve used until now had root by using sudo.

@bloodfart I figured out what it was thanks to all of you! It was just that I had to change from RAID to ACHI in the bios! Since I didn’t want to keep windows I didn’t even have to open a command prompt or anything.

Man I love this whole community I can’t thank all of you enough.

Dude @minibyte@sh . it just . works This was it!! Thanks to all of you

@Johnny5 This was it! Changed to ACHI and no problems after that thank you so much!!

It wasn’t that it was that the windows partition wasn’t showing up at all. In this case (DellOptiplex 3070) I had to change from RAID to ACHI and it showed up

It is a dell its an Optiplex 3070 mini. You just boot windows into safe mode to change that right?

Honestly I may just keep doing the Debian install now that I have some insight on what might have gone wrong.

Its true really trying to break through the learning curve at the moment hands on but yes I think you might be right.
