(o^ ^o) thank you!

i actually want WORSE technology with LESS features and i am NOT KIDDING!!

It's not as advanced, but I love sublime text.

havent tried much since i usually just stick to neocities' built-in editor, but i use notepad++, it has a ton of languages built in!! i cant really comment on how good it is at all that since i only do HTML stuff. note if you keep any styling stuff in a

ah. it has banished half my reply. anyways if you keep your stuff in a style tag instead of a css file it doesnt colour it in which makes it a little hard to read: https://file.garden/ZXR-dj_dI1vYUkW7/nocolorexample.png

i love using phoenix. it has an interactive live preview that i way prefer than vscodes n it saves so much time.

The classics with a steeper learning curve are of course Emacs and (Neo)Vim, but I've also heard good things about Geany, as well as Sublime and TextMate (the latter is if you're on a Mac).

I used to use Brackets before switching to vscode, switch made because the live preview didnt work well with firefox.. but it could be an alternative :p

seconding sublime text and phoenix code; i used to use the former in hs mostly for c# but I use phcode because of the live preview! word of warning though, the live preview sometimes doesn't translate to an actual web experience, so you might have to double-check stuff :/

i should probably just write a blog post at this point

Yes please, I feel like it's not as common to see such detailed commentaries and walkthroughs of Linux Mint troubleshooting, particularly dual-boot troubleshooting. The Arch Wiki has spoiled me.

ayyy nice!!! I tried to make it dual boot with win7 on my mom's broken laptop (before anyone says anything about vunerabilities: it kind of threw out the Internet driver I couldn't get win7 to connect to the Internet even if I wanted it to)

hit enter too early whoops

(anyways yeah it threw out all things internet related not even the ethernet port worked). it wouldn't recognize mint in the bootloader so if i want to use it I have to mash f9 to select the partition. this wasn't a wise choice on my end but also the laptop was already broken

so yeah dualbooting is a pain sometimes so I'm glad you got that sorted out !!!

i dont think dual booting is what cause the issue.. also, i came across an article that detailed my exact error and the fix. i just think it might be helpful to document the process in a way the average person can comprehend. idk i'm kind of a noob at this too, i didnt know how to do any of this until a few days ago

and just to clarify like. the error was stupidly simple.. it just took a while because i was looking stuff up to make sure i did the install right

im looking forward to reading your post! i might even link to it on my own site if thats ok

what about it isn't working? (because this is sort of my hyperfixation at the moment)

@badgraph1csghost holy shit its so awesome you replied bc you actually kinda motivated me to do this at all LOL

basically, my linux usb was working fine so i shrunk win10 and made a partition (via windows disk manager) to prep for downloading linux. something must have happened between then though bc the next time i tried to boot into linux i got an error that says \EFI\BOOT\mmx64.efi not found and import_mok_state() failed: not found. i havent troubleshooted any further cause i needed to sleep :')

if you want to keep talking ab this maybe we could email or sth? let me know

maybe use gparted to delete the partition and then try again, but install it from the live session this time?

idk i mean i'm certainly not an "expert" or anything, i'm just troubleshooting in real time here (also im glad i helped to motivate you :D )

@badgraph1csghost i actually did try to install from the live session, but realize id only shrunk win and didnt create a partition yet. so i booted back into windows to do that and then the next time i tried to start a live session from my usb i was getting the errors. currently on the mint forums seeing what can be done

FOR REALL.. hitting sign up on that site changed my life
