you can boot from a liveCD or USB, then mount the main OS, bind mount dev and proc, chroot into it and reconfigure/reinstall the boot loader

it’s actually called history-search-backward . it’s configured in /etc/inputrc or ~/.inputrc . if you type the first few characters of a command in your shells history, then type page-up (that key on the keyboard; if configured for page-up, which is common), it searches the most recent command that started that way. press again for the second recent. i’m using it so much, i got used to the thought process “i type this often -> lets stop typing and use page-up”. of course it can’t work with passwords 😅 i should pay more attention to what i’m doing
VMs can be slow AF tho. Also, they use up a lot of disk space and RAM, because you have a whole ectra OS in there. But yeah, a lot of proprietary things work better in VMs with their native OS.
uhm… shouldn’t you have the ebuilds synced to your PC anyway?
things that differ between distros, because everyone thinks they can do it better than others: multimedia and sound, firewall config, service management, different init systems, switching default when multiple packages provide the same feature and are installed in parallel, config file migration during updates, making and installing your own custom kernel, selection of free games available.
a bootable removable medium that can display and chainload all the installed OSes
No idea. The USB should be in there. Can you look onto the USB from Windows? (but don’t change anything on it) Maybe the port doesn’t work properly.
You should try enabling the options in:
and disable:
then Restart>Exit Saving Changes and press F12 furiously during next boot (as i don’t know when exactly) and select USB.
did you try and press F1 at the logo screen after power on and adjust settings in the UEFI BIOS Config, Security and Startup menus?
Difficult to stuff this in the MBR for non EFI users. AFAIK grub can display background pictures though.
Always put the important servers in the attic, where they get fried by the summer heat, instead of the basement, where the flood hits worst.
it’s significantly less scary if you have a backup
I think that’s already a thing. I remember reading about that a few years ago, but probably hard to find after the home brewing and craft beer hype.
what i don’t like about most tiling WMs is they are keyboard only. you can’t hold a beverage in one hand and use them easily with the mouse. only very few let you also do most things with mouse (notion for example). currently i use Gnome (mutter standard WM) with the Forge extension (that adds tiling) for that reason. It’s not perfect, but lets me use my phone with one hand and operate the PC with the other etc.
that’s not watching the events though, just showing the log of the service for dbus. the events can be watched with dbus-monitor
with the command dbus-monitor
it prints the events while they happen
idk but maybe watch your dbus for events when it works and if there are any, you can send one yourself or get your audio apps to do it. just a guess since a lot of stuff goes through dbus nowadays. you could also check the kernel logs, but it’s less likely to help

also, you should make backups and have a restore strategy that covers cases like this.
