On the last guess I was down to 2 possibilities.
Unfortunately I picked the wrong one.

Hi All,
Got into a conversation with a Work friend about Win 11, I have been told that it won't co-exist with Linux to give a dual boot machine. I am in doubt about this can it be true, if the boot sequence points to a Windows partition or Linux partition the partitions shouldn't be aware there is another... should it be? I don't think so...
|

IIRC Win11 (and Win10, for that matter) overwrites the MBR that Linux relies upon. One way around this is to first install Windows, allowing it to use only part of the disk, and then install Linux in the free area. The Linux boot sequence should allow multi-booting.
Another method is to install Windows later, and then use a Linux LiveCD to fix the Linux boot record.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Ah OK, I didn't think of the Master Boot Record (MBR) the only multi-boot system I have built is based on XP Pro and Ubuntu (v?), haven't really messed with PC Linux much, most of Linux fun has been with Raspberry PI's...

Just create a bootable USB stick with Ubuntu on it.

The other potential issue you could run into is with Secure Boot (or WT![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) MS currently calls its encrypted boot loader requirement for the licenses they sell to Dell, etc). But AFAIK that's only an issue with some more ideologically pure distros; with more commercial ones like Debian and Redhat having gotten the needed signing certs from MS to work even if your BIOS won't let you disable the feature.

Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I have an porch / patio that is unenclosed, but fully covered so I'm always in shade.
Herself obtained new furniture for it that is very comfortable.
I'm now addicted to Outside WFH. I am out here from the beginning of the day & all day.
The kids bought me a bug zapper and that is great for night bugs.
I spray some bug killer around the perimeter, but there are still those nasty creepy crawlies & annoying flies at times.
For this, I have recently obtained a fully-functional assault weapon!!
BUG-A-SALT 3.0 - Kill bugs by shooting them with "salt shotgun"[^]
I barely work now, because I'm hunting down bugs and shooting them. It really works.
Mine has an additional laser pointer on it.
I killed a wolf spider yesterday. Blew it away.
I killed a fly while it was flying!! yes, I'm kind of amazing. 
Alert! While I was typing the last sentences, a bug came flying in and I was forced to shoot it. 
This is a modern marvel of engineering. You simply must get one.

It really is nice for many reasons. actually makes a lot less mess than swatting them with something.
I often create nasty bug-guts spots on things from killing bugs with magazines or newspaper.
Also, you don't waste as many magazines killing bugs.
At first I thought, "there will be salt everywhere" but having the salt granules is a lot less messy actually.
I would even use this thing inside. It's also nice if you have a bug on the ceiling you can't reach.
Killing creepy crawlies can be a real challenge because they are often in locations not easy to reach.
The bug blaster will get them anywhere.

How much costs the ammo?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Great question. I should’ve mentioned you just fill it with generic table salt and go.
No special ammo needed and that makes it even more fantastic.

I have half a dozen wasp nests under my front porch that SWMBO reminded me about (again) this morning. I can get her one of these and she can do it herself! (should be fun to watch anyway!)

Bugs and crawlies have a right to live, and exist outside the home. So IMHO, they should not be killed when they are in their natural environment.
Live and let live is what I believe in.

(Wolf spiders are lovely things. In fact the wolf spider is was probably catching more bugs than you are.)

Sorry about the outage. A routine deploy went totally nutso due to an out of date config file being left in the bin directory.
The interesting thing, if you call blind panic interesting, is that the error was manifesting as a null ref in a web control. The web control's code was solid. It was literally impossible for it to manifest this error. What was actually happening is that upstream there was a null ref that was being reported as occurring too far downstream in the stack.
Nothing like trying to put out the fire when you're being told the fire is in the wrong place. Especially odd when the "fire" was essentially in something underwater and covered in asbestos.

Good work nonetheless. I remember one time when I responsible for a particular computer system at a customer's site. We kept have weird glitches. At one point I thought it was fixed so I took the afternoon off to golf with some of the customers. Of course, the thing crashed again while we were golfing. Fortunately, the customer rep who I reported to was in the foursome.
So, at least you were on the ball and not out golfing or otherwise messing around.

Can we assume the poor soul responsible for the errant file has been flogged accordingly?

On the plus side though, I got to see the hamsters everyone talks about.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
