True, but… When MBR Grub drops to rescue or doesn’t appear at all, it’s not only difficult (at least for newbies) but somewhat random if you can actually boot a given OS. With EFI Grub, I’ve often managed to boot using BIOS boot override to launch a usable Grub configuration.

    cut is actually next to useless, because it cannot understand that multiple spaces can still be a single separator in most text files in /etc. You have to use AWK.

    Quite agree. It is next to impossible to find solid cases any more, because only transparent ones are sold. The one manufacturer left still making solid cases seems to be Fractal Design.

    Actually one day before Christmas in Finland and other Nordic countries. I don’t know if Linus still celebrates Christmas like that, having resided in the US for a long time already, but the big celebration is here always the 24th of December, and 25th–26th is mostly just resting after it.
