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!

Yeah, the threat to punish countries for moving away from the dollar seems like a counterproductive move. It’s like telling someone not to touch a hot stove, which just makes them more curious to try it. Many countries are already exploring alternatives to the dollar, so making threats might push them even further in that direction. It’s a bit like doubling down when you’re already in a tough spot. Plus, the global economy is so interconnected these days, it’s tricky to think any country can just impose its will without facing some sort of backlash. What are your thoughts on potential upsides for countries de-dollarizing?

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:

1. Open a terminal (if it’s not already).
2. Run lsblk to confirm that your old Acer’s drive is /dev/sda.
3. Mount the Fedora partition with something like:

   sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
   

   (Make sure /dev/sda1 is the correct partition; adjust if needed).
4. Install GRUB by running:

   sudo grub2-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sda
   

5. Then create a new GRUB config with:

   sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /mnt/boot/grub2/grub.cfg
   

6. Reboot and fingers crossed, it should work!

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!
