Fun fact, you can, in fact, make sourdough with the yeast from a yeast infection, and bake with it.

I played with the grub settings a little bit, only cause I just wanted windows and mint next to each other instead of separated by a third option. It's a nitpicky kind of thing, but I'm not stressing about it too much.

I'll definitely be digging more into grub though to see what I can play with.

Ok that's kind of cool, I'll be checking that out once I get everything working the way I want it lol.

So, for me at least, it was a matter of changing the boot order in my bios so Mint amwas primary, and windows secondary, then changing the timeout for grub from 0 to 30.

From there, I'm able to let it boot to Mint, boot into windows, or just force the mint to go through quicker.

Windows just refused to acknowledge any other OS.

Thank you for the help though!

Ok this is nearly exactly what I needed.

I had to change the timeout for grub from 0 to 30, and grub let's me pick windows or Ubuntu. Ran it twice to make sure. Previously I had windows as the primary boot, but windiws wasn't showing any other OS.

Thank you!

I went with Cinnamon Edition of Mint.

Ah so boot with Linux as the first (windows is currently first) and use Grub to get into windows when I want?

Now, does it matter that both OS are on their own drive entirely? I took out the windows drive when I installed Linux on the other SSD. I can run each OS completely independent. Saw, I forget where, that this was the best way to install so they're fully independent of one another.

I actually went ahead and did a fresh install of windows on my 1 SSD, and a fresh install of cinnamon on my other SSD. Really the biggest pain was not losing the screw when taking out the windows drive so Linux was solely installed on 1 drive.

You guys were right, cinnamon is way more my speed. A few quirks that I'm looking up ways to fix, like I have 3 monitors, but 1 is in portrait, and if I try to line it up, it drags down the main monitor, instead of the portrait monitor, and the mouse is misaligned to what I can see on the screen. Outside of that, I'll probably be on Linux full time within a month or 2.

I'll definitely check it out. I probably should have jumped on one of the Linux forums to find something outside of Ubuntu, but I just knew the name from a past attempt to use Linux.

Gaming was really the only thing that held me back, but since it's a non issue with the games I play on Steam, I have no reason to stick with windows, except for maybe pirated games are all made for windows, which I've already seen workarounds for.

I went with Ubuntu cause name recognition, and I've tried it in the past lol. Basically half assed the entire thing.

I'll check out mint though. Ubuntu feels too much like a Mac OS. Loving how much I've had to use terminal, and my 12 and 10 year olds watching in amazement as I look like I'm doing something really complex, but just installing gnome tweaks lol.

I just installed a dual boot for Ununtu the other day. I'm getting used to it. Almost everything runs better on it, but the UI is a huge change. Finally got some apps to install to desktop, so it's a slow process, and looks like I couldn't have picked a better time to switch.

They are stupid.

You'll never get it. Nurses weren't literally sifting through thousands of corpses, hoping to find living people. Nurses weren't breathing in dust and ashen remains of those that were burned in the fires. First responders were dealing with the disaster as it happened. Hence why they're called first responders. You're aftercare. Once the first responders rescued people, they were sent to doctors and nurses, so they could do their jobs. Meanwhile, first responders went back into the rubble to maybe find someone alive, but mostly finding corpses. Many mangled beyond anything you've ever seen before.

First responders are talked about more cause, quite frankly, they were doing more. How many corpses can you say you had to push pass, so you can get to the living person that was next to them, or grab the hand of the person you hoped was alive, only to drag a corpse missing it's left side. How many broken crushed corpses did you have to drag out of a hole in the ground so the coroner could do their job, and you could go back in and pull out another corpse, or if you're really lucky, someone that lived.
