• I just spent two days trying to get a Lenovo laptop to dual-boot Windows-11 and Ubuntu (on an external SSD drive). Bitlocker made it damn near impossible.

    I even tried to reinstall Windows, but Lenovo’s website kept locking up. Finally found the magic command-line incantation to disable Bitlocker. Zapped the whole thing and just installed Ubuntu.

    The most useless waste of time since trying to figure out the exact right gcc flags to rebuild a library.
