My new machine is performing beautifully at his point.
I wasn't sure. The critical components had to be shipped
from a supplier in Hong Kong and I had a slight concern
about the integrity of the business.

But it all check out well so far.

I have swapped a PCI 2 vid card from my junk Winblows
machine into my PCI 3 slot just to get hings going.

The BIOS tweak comes first.

Since I don't use that stupid UEFI boot, I needed to
enable CSM (Compatibility Support Module) to allow
legacy booting. I disabled Secure Boot as well since
I won't have gremlins constantly attacking my machine.
Also Intel AMT (Active Management Technology) is disabled.
The virtual machine (VT-d) is out as well (only a fucking
asshole uses virtual machines).

But other BIOS options left me bewildered. What the
fuck is "CFG Lock?" It seems to be another security feature
so I disabled it.

Now everything is tweaked to perfection and I await the
arrival of my Nvidia card.

There will no SSDs on this machine. Never. HDDs only.

SSDs are a gimmick made for assholes.

Next comes the highly tuned kernel and software.

That's surprising (bis).

In fact, you are using it, but you don't have enough knowledge in
computer to be aware of it. Starting to boot in legacy mode is still
booting the UEFI. It's only booting with limited capacities, but it's
still the UEFI. You can have as many shit as you want in front of your
eyes, it doesn't change the fact: BIOS doesn't exist any more on recent
computer.

I already told you so, but you'd rather refuse reality than learn.

Yes, we know, the kernel you tuned years ago for your older computer
which will run smoothly on your new computer. And here, I'd like to
thank you a lot. Because with this sentence, you proved what I always
answered to you: it's useless to compile your kernel with modern
versions. If you ever had tuned it seriously, it would have taken you
days to find the best way possible. Because the only possibility to fine
tune a kernel seriously is to try a lot of options and to benchmark
every choice. Which could have been done over the years, but which can't
be done in a few minutes on a new hardware.

So, once again, what you believe would impress anyone only proves you
have a mouth far bigger than your capacities.

My knowledge of computer booting is way beyond anything that

The option for legacy booting exists and it will exist despite
you feeble exhortations about the "future."

What fucking "capacities" do you want?

Just load the fucking Linux kernel and then get out of the
fucking way. Very, very simple. Legacy booting does that
just fine.

The BIOS provides the option to disable VT-d. The BIOS does not
attach a warning that disabling the VT-d will violate the future.

I like reading his messages because he's funny. He's very limited, but
he's funny anyway. So, it's not masochism (for my part).

If he weren't so willing to insult everyone, he could be a decent part

You never stop being proud of you lack of knowledge. So partitioning a
hard drive is not a lot of work, it's a fast and easy thing to do by
anyone but you. And on a new computer you have to do that anyway. No?
You didn't? It means you keep the partitioning your hard drive came with?
You didn't add a swap partition? And you kept your FAT partition? Yes,
you are a Windows user, it's obvious from a very long time.

> For what gain?

To have a computer designed to run Linux instead of Windows would be a
good start.

> Nothing. That's the answer.

Yes, I know, you prefer Windows to Linux. But here I'm speaking about a
computer running Linux, not Windows. And if Linux can read/write on a
FAT partition, it's not the best choice for a Linux installation.

> YOU, however, have nothing to be concerned about because your

As you speak only about what you don't know, I'll tell you a secret. I
had to partition my hard drive by myself. As you are afraid of
everything that's recent, I know you can't use gparted to do the job. As
you are afraid of the command line, I know you can't use fdisk either.
But, you could use a usb stick with a live distro on it to use
gnome-disk which could help you using your mouse.

You learned only one insult because you can't learn and because you have
no creative capacities.

You never stop being an idiot.

All my HDDs are partitioned according to a certain scheme so that
I can make backups very easily. If this scheme were to change then
I would have to rewrite all my backup scripts which would be a lot
of work.

Let me state the absolute facts for your idiotic self:

UEFI, like systemd, is totally unnecessary.

UEFI, like systemd, is an answer looking for a question.

UEFI, like systemd, is only for total idiots like you.

Talking about yourself, of course. Most of what you say about

Exactly, Larry appoints himself king of computers, meanwhile his
computer is bizarre, weird, creepy even. He's a lunatic. I'm getting
terrific results with Debian 12, it's not bloatware, it's the
appropriate amount of code to form a sleek OS, even Mint is much the
same, far more efficient than M$. I just don't get what Larry's
problem is, why is he so obsessed with software freedom that he'd
forgo having a usable system? Just retarded.
