It means you lose your agency

Mine is a T420, also win10-era, so I wouldn’t be surprised to find that they were similarly fussy. It also happens to be the one machine on which I’m running mint.

In my BIOS the option is under Startup > UEFI/Legacy boot. IIRC [Legacy Only] was the one that worked for this; I put it back when I was done, but I seem to recall [Both] not quite doing the trick.

Hopefully yours is a similar sounding setting in an approximately similar location. Maybe I just don’t fuck with them enough but every BIOS feels somewhat vibes-based to me; almost nothing feels standard from one to the next.

If you give that a shot, LMK how it goes!

Oof, that’s annoying. Do you know what the boot issue was? My thinkpad was super fussy about booting into the usb. I think I had to set my BIOS to legacy boot to get it to work right.

Did you create the live boot usb ok?

The ruling Communist Party’s internet censorship, known as the “Great Firewall,” is another drawback.
