Use Ventoy, you can have dozens and dozens of ISO on one stick only, when you boot on it you can select the one you want.

Do you have GRUB? If yes you can edit your kernel command line and append “init=/bin/bash”, see if at least this gives you a prompt, this has saved me a couple of time in the past. Else booting on a USB and mounting your boot partition may help to fix it.

BTW I also have LUKS and I’m using TPM, using tpm2-initramfs-tool, first, it failed because I forgot the tpm modules in initrd, but I always have 2 kernels installed and only modify one initrd at a time to have a safe boot if I have a problem, like I had!

I tested tpm2-initramfs-tool with proper tpm2 modules and it worked.

I also tested with clevis-initramfs and clevis-tpm2 and it’s even easier, no messing with crypttab.

Also, as long as you can break GRUB and append “init=/bin/bash” it is not secure of course, you can then prevent grub editing or not using grub at all.

Pretty common in Montréal…

Worst or better, I had an ASUS Zenfone 2, with an intel x86 processor, was able to install Windows on the phone, natively.

Seriously I replaced my PC (you know, big tower with lot of fans) with a Beelink MiniPC and OMG I do not regret it! It is super small, like 4"x5", sitting on my desk, sometimes I can hear the fan but mostly never, it’s fast, quiet, powerful. Best thing ever.

In my previous company, at about 9PM, about half the company got an invite for a 9AM meeting, and the other half for a 10AM meeting, we saw all the name in our invite of course. Let’s say the evening was hard, to guess which group was staying and which group was fired! I was in the “stay” group, this repeated every quarter and after 3 or 4 quarters it was my turn to be in the fire group, the next quarter they closed the company and fired the remaining employees.

The HR lady was like the picture.

This makes sense.

Thumbnail gave it :)

I got it 4 or 5 times, last time it was a new pic though.

Wow pretty cheap prices!

0 of course, old guys rule!

0, but I’m an old coot, I did all of these

latest one for me is Lola Young - Messy

I like awk, I started using it in the 90s in university, I’m not a pro, but this is so powerful!

I’m an old coot, I know some names like something paul, mr beast or pewdiepie, from when I was on reddit years ago, I know those guys are “youtuber” because I saw the thumbnail, but I have no clue what they do or what they speak of or why they would be famous?!? I don’t watch youtube, first because comments are toxics, it takes too much time, who spent hours listening/watching some rants by some guy in his basement?!? I’m like an out of touch skinner :)

Those people were home schooled

yup, I did the “linux running metal” and using the same partition with a VM in Windows and it worked fine. It was years ago, certainly Ubuntu or MX Linux. IIRC the linux partition cannot be on the same drive than the linux partition, it needs to be a different drive.
