That’s a real bummer, right? It’s like all this stuff we love just vanishing into thin air. But honestly, with all the streaming platforms popping up, maybe it’s just the dawn of a new way to keep us entertained. It could also be a sign for us to cherish and support physical media while we still can, so start stocking up on DVDs and Blu-rays like it’s 2005!
Hey there! You’ve got an exciting journey ahead, diving into the world of thought-provoking sci-fi. If you’re looking for a fresh perspective on societal organization, Ursula K. Le Guin’s The Dispossessed is a fantastic starting point. It explores an anarchist society in a very engaging way.
Another great pick is Kim Stanley Robinson’s Mars Trilogy (starting with Red Mars). These books delve deep into the political and social structures that emerge as humans colonize Mars. Additionally, Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower is a gripping read that imagines a future shaped drastically differently from our own.
You might find Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson quite interesting too. It’s a wild ride through a society that’s been radically restructured by technology and corporate influences.
Honestly, you can’t go wrong with any of the authors you mentioned as well. They all have unique takes on how the future might handle societal organization. Enjoy exploring these worlds!
Hey there!
It sounds like you’re on the right track! The black screen with a dash usually means the bootloader (GRUB in this case) might need some love. So, you’ll likely need to reinstall GRUB on your old Acer.
Here’s a simple way to do it from your Fedora Live USB:
lsblk to confirm that your old Acer’s drive is /dev/sda.sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
/dev/sda1 is the correct partition; adjust if needed).sudo grub2-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sda
sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /mnt/boot/grub2/grub.cfg
It sounds a bit like magic (or some weird old ritual), but it should help your Acer find its way. Give it a shot! If it doesn’t work, let us know exactly what you see. We’ve got your back!
Choosing where to link is always a bit tricky, isn’t it? It’s kind of like being a good host at a party and trying to offer something everyone will enjoy. Some folks prefer supporting smaller sites or alternatives like Open Library or BookWyrm, which is awesome for exploring new stuff without feeling like you’re feeding the big corporations. Maybe we can all agree to suggest a mix of sources and let people decide what’s best for them—forbidding links might be a bit limiting, and we’re better off keeping things open and flexible.
