    So you press F9 or F12 and boot from the bios selection ? No problems that is the easiest method, and recommended, but if your having problems you could try this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4idr6sXSue0&list=PLS_d8s-cLQwWWLePiVWve1X-_YP6YrwRU&index=10 this is rEFInd easy to setup and maybe it will solve your boot problem, then you will know it is something to do with the Bios boot, and lastly, probably the most difficult duel boot is editing the systemd bootloader of Pop_OS https://github.com/spxak1/weywot/blob/main/Pop_OS_Dual_Boot.md approach with caution, you could lose the ability to boot either system if you make a mistake.

  • Systemd disappears after booting into windows
    1 project | /r/pop_os | 1 Jun 2023
    I currently am trying to dual boot pop os and windows. I have them in separate drives. Yesterday I was following the steps provided by this GitHub https://github.com/spxak1/weywot/blob/main/Pop_OS_Dual_Boot.md. After running windows though the systemd option disappeared from my boot menu. I booted into a live disk to try and see if I could find the drive but only my drive with windows shows up. What do I do?

  • Linux or Windows for coding??
    2 projects | /r/learnprogramming | 21 May 2023
    Don’t throw windows out, it can be useful, I’d recommend dual booting. For the distro, I’d go with Fedora (Workstation) or PopOS. Fedora’s hard to break and reliable as well as easy to dual boot (guide) while PopOS is Ubuntu based so it can draw from Ubuntu’s giant popularity, but it’s not the easiest to dual boot (guide)

    Using a more sophisticated method, like ed2k is preferred if you can. There is also this.
    1 project | /r/linux4noobs | 19 May 2023
    In many guides and other post I see people copying the EFI Windows folder similar to this github on a boot partition of approximately 1GB. But the arch wiki recommends installing the package ed2k and mapping a script to boot directly from the Windows EFI.

  • Krita fund has 0 corporate support
    7 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 5 Oct 2023
    I don't have a huge amount of experience with Krita's Wayland performance because the situation on Wayland is still sub-optimal for art in general. Tablet support has gotten much better, but configuration per-app or tied to the desktop environment still seems to be a big issue. The idea that my tablet configuration might stop working if I switch off of a desktop environment is kind of a non-starter to me. It stinks because I really want to use Wayland, but even as recently as a month ago I tried to see if I could make the switch and couldn't.

    Truthfully, if someone has a lot of money to dump around, devoting a few full-time developers or dropping cash on https://github.com/OpenTabletDriver/OpenTabletDriver would probably go a long way towards encouraging Wayland adoption from artists.

    As far as I can tell the issue is not that Wayland can't do tablet control on the same level as X11, it's that the tools built around those capabilities still seem immature. OpenTabletDriver looks very promising but seems to have limited device support, limited in no small part by what tablets the devs have access to (my Cintiq 32 is unlikely to get added any time soon because it is no longer being sold and was expensive and uncommon when it was on the market).

    The NVIDIA situation is also a problem, but there's nothing anyone can do about that other than yell at NVIDIA more.

    > The text tool is a joke.

    The text tool should see considerable improvement soon; the entire text engine got rewritten in the last release, the devs just only had time to get it to feature parity with the existing tools.

    I believe Wacom is a first class citizen in Linux. They have it in the kernel (https://linuxwacom.github.io/). There is also https://opentabletdriver.net/ that is multi-platform.

    If the Wacom driver is no longer compatible with your system, you might want to consider using a third party driver like OTD (https://opentabletdriver.net/)

  • Intuos 4 (PTK-640) and Windows 11, 'your Wacom device is no longer supported'

    You can try OpenTabletDriver, a 3rd party open source tablet driver, with support for your tablet. It has many different smoothing algoritms and filters and much more customisability than Wacom drivers, as well as pressure support.

    The CD is for driver installation, however you don't need it. Drivers used to come on CDs. For Linux, you have two options, both third party: OpenTabletDriver or linuxwacom. For Windows, you might be able to find an older driver version in the archives on Wacom's website, since newer drivers dropped support for it (thanks, Wacom) or you can once again use OpenTabletDriver. Personally, I recommend using OpenTabletDriver for both operating systems. It's much more customisable, gives you higher hover height, allows for more pen compatibility and more.

What are some alternatives?
