@AmosBurtonThatGuy Ok, Catchy is based upon Arch, and I'm not sure how you can tell grub on arch how to look on other drives for bootable OS's. In Ubuntu it's an argument in /etc/default/grub, but arch it is entirely different and I've not run multiple OS's on it. But with Ubuntu there is a grub argument that says to look on other drives for bootable OS's and you need to enable that for it to find OS's on other drives. There must be something similar in CatchyOS, but since I haven't played with it, and when I was using Arch it was the ONLY OS, I don't know where to find that. Alternately, you could just switch boot drives in BIOS, or hold F8 after a reboot to select the Windows drive. I do understand though that it is a lot more convenient to have it in the boot menu, unfortunately I haven't any experience with Catchy or even Arch with multiple OS's so can't help with that.
@tekato Sure you can use a third party app, but X without ANY app re-directs to whatever display you want it to. And there are precious few third party apps for Wayland, at least half a dozen that I know of for X.
@Sheldan Yes I am referring to the game, back when I had tried on vmware it was still the main commercial one that I was playing, I have since moved to Insanity Flyff. One of those minor continuities in my life.
I'm not afraid of change, I just want to ensure change is for the better and that change isn't in a direction we haven't already tried 3000 times always ending in disaster, socialism/communism being a case of the latter, and Wayland being a change that I consider to be the former, it doesn't network and that was the whole point of X windows. It was a NETWORKING window system. If you just need local graphics Wayland is fine but it doesn't fit my use case.
@Magister@WhiteOakBayou There are a lot of things to like about MX, nice interface, I really like that you can boot up using either systemd or sys-V, since systemd tends to be a lot faster but also tends to break it makes it really nice to have a sys-v fallback when things do break. Support has been excellent, I've yet to have it take them more than three days to fix anything broken I've reported, contrast that with Ubuntu where if it happens within the next three major releases you're doing good.
