  • Running Fedora as a secondary OS from a Thunderbolt SSD. What I can tell you is that my Bios still seems to be in charge (pun intended) of the charging cycles since it wouldn’t charge past 80% and I never set this in Fedora.

    Otherwise runtime seems about average under use and the estimated time left on the charge seems correct.







  • Did you though? What instructions began with “Install VirtualBox”?

    None 🙈 I just assumed I could replace the USB I would need for a live media.

    Did you even try just booting the ISO directly?

    I was under the impression just slapping the ISO onto the USB and trying to run from the boot menu selector would not work.


  • Nono I was going for a multi boot portable install.

    The T7 is an external SSD. I got Ventoy to work on the T7 with Fedora (also with Tails), I just couldn’t get the persistence to work for Fedora too. I think that’s where I took a wrong turn. Instead of trying to figure out how to get that “selinux=0” command to work for Fedora, I should have properly reassessed my goal and started from scratch. I kinda fell victim to the sunk cost fallacy.


  • Um. multiple Linux OS’s?

    I fcked up with the terminology there. Should be Distro’s 🙈

    Using VMs to what? Why?

    I thought I could take the ISO, run it as a live media from the VM and then install the Distro onto the SSD using the media creation tool that pop’s up first thing after starting it. That’s at least how I remembered doing it back in the day for the Ubuntu sticks I created back in school

    My friend - you took the hard path here for somebody not “technical enough for Arch”. Dual-booting is tricky to begin with nevermind doing so with Windows and external media involved.

    When I started in October I had the innocent belief I could just read through the documentation and I could get it to work.
