In a few states it's a law but mostly it's a suggestion and at worse you'll get kicked out. I know New York has a law and maybe California.

where in jersey was this taken? i want to find this car

This has me at a :.|:; for words

I hadn't heard of it before, but it seems like a solid company.

So there are some linux laptop companies that make dedicated linux laptops. See Purism and Tuxedo. They are very compatible and customizable, but I would recommend taking a look at Tuxedo because they have a much wider range of devices. Purism is like if Apple was a pro-consumer company. Their devices are all 100% libre, but are quite expensive.

Does this give you any increased sense of security as a non-american?

By this list, I like endeavor(it's wallpapers go hard as shit), alpine, centos(watch dogs!!1!), and "Athena OS"(distrowatch random)

I agree that it's not a big deal, but there still should be an option in my opinion. It can be a lifesaver to be able to search on older devices.

Thanks for the advice, but this was sollved already, I removed the SSD and the USB booted, so I wiped the SSD and put a GPT partition table on it. Then, I could boot and install.

I just changed my Firefox version to non-ESR to fix this, because newer versions had better(and automatic) wayland support

Thanks for the advice, I had to use non-ESR Firefox to get it working.

Yeah I'll plug it into my computer and edit the grub settings. Terrible that the USB drive just doesn't boot with an SSD inside, even though I manually selected the USB from the boot menu. That made me break my water seal and this device lost its IP rating 🙃. Thanks very much for your help however, your affirmation about the unplugging the SSD was was very helpful.

That didn't work either but I solved it by removing the ssd.

It works without an SSD!!!!! OMG I knew it wasn't bricked

A USB keyboard works fine, and also the USB drive is detected when it is bootable. Only one USB port but the tablet supports pxe boot. Do you think I could get mileage off of that if I set up a server on my other laptop and connected them via ethernet? I can flash the drives with dd and they show up when plugged in. I also tested that they can boot on my laptop which they can.

No, I just wanted a durable tablet and getacs computers were used by my local law enforcement agency.

I can't speak to the boot order because ive always used the boot menu to select manually what I want to boot, to be cautious, but I have tried shifting it and that didn't help.

Do you think that removing the ssd will help? I can't see a way it will, but I might as well give it a shot because its my last chance really.

I cannot see grub at all.

ChatGPT summary: The user is experiencing a frustrating issue after installing Debian on a Getac F110-G2 tablet, which originally came with Windows 10. Although the installation seemed to work initially, rebooting led to a black screen, and attempts to reinstall from USB have failed. They've tried various troubleshooting steps, including disabling TPM and secure boot, switching between UEFI and Legacy modes, and using different USB sticks and displays. The tablet appears to be soft-bricked. The user is considering reinstalling the SSD in a PC to wipe it clean and attempt to reinstall Debian.

The mystery is why even windows won't boot now. I might tell getac about this and ask for help, unfortunately this isn't under warranty so I won't be getting a replacement.
