From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Unflag a drive in KDE partition manager (lemm.ee)

I created a second partition on my main drove to install steam games, that way they persist in case I want to reinstall Linux or access from a portable windows install, but wanted it to mount on boot.

In partition manager, for some dumb reason, I presumed that flagging it as 'boot' would mean just that.

Obviously this was wrong, and now I can't unflag the drive for some reason. It says it applies the changes but just leaves it flagged.

Whatever you do never flag your drives as system important (except the one with the OS), I found out the hard way when one died.

Yeah it was pretty silly, I for some reason blanked on the fact that boot is an important flag. Thankfully booting the live media worked
