Last week, I pointed to a set of instructions on how to get Kubernetes up and running on Ubuntu 22.04 and added my own fixes and updates. After giving it some thought, I realized it's a pain having to jump back and forth between those instructions an...

Yes, MX-Linux is that stupid. It doesn't detect the existing 100MB EFI partition. I set that default partition in the MX-Linux setup (I re-installed it, obviously) and while MX-Linux booted fine, I could no longer boot Kubuntu I have no idea what MX-...

I attempted to install Manjaro, and it said the same thing about creating a /boot/efi partition. I decided not to install it. Then I installed Debian (it's a very quick installation). If you do the manual partition thing, it says the same thing about...
