I have before move SSDs and had no issues actually, now that you mentioned it. Lol. But this is a different case because I dualboot and I'm technically moving two OSs to a new mobo.
Some people keep saying that efi boots are written somewhere in an NVRAM on the motherboard and changing it will require rewriting the partition back on the new mobo. I honestly couldn’t care less if I lost the windows partition (it’s just a “just in case I need windows thing), but it’s the Cachy os install is what I’m worried most about. I’ve had this same install for over a year now and it has a ton of stuff I like. I do have a full dejadup back up on another drive, but still a reinstall would be painful. Here is to hoping it’s not that bad.
Like you said, they’re extremely similar (I actually made sure of that). Same socket, same brand and same cpus technology and generation.
I'm so glad he went with BazziteOS over a regular distro. Even though, I love CachyOS, but in this case we need to have more new users and we don't want them to deal with any potential issues.
Needs root. Many manufacturers have locked their bootloaders. Even pixel when you buy it through the carrier. I don’t buy shit carriers anymore, but when they give out a completely free phone, I’m taking that shit. lol
I’m going to be the asshole here. And? If I’m not getting paid, then why should I care? It’s a hobby project that I made for fun in my free time. Unless this is my living then, I’d understand what you’re saying.
If I had an open source program that is being used by fuckers like Google, who can afford to pay but don't, and then come in and demand shit. I'd just ignore them and pretend they don't exist and continue with my life. Let them bark until they're blue in the face. But first I'd put this as the first line in the README.md “if you're a big corporation and need help, come with money. Otherwise, please don't bother me”.
I don't really do crazy low level stuff on my machine. Just gaming and programming.
