Any fellow Linux users on here?

Just a quick suggestion for those that like to tinker with their hardware - get a post message beeper. They're truly worth their weight in cocky chaff and can save you so much experimentation when things go wrong.

Forgot to mention: If I understand my motherboard and bios, I think I might have that option already built in. Or what used to be known as "POST Beeps". I guess people complained enough for manufacturers to bring them back....

They were always there, it's just that the little speaker hasn't been built in to the board since the 90s and is often now sold separately.

The other thing that has changed is that there's no longer a standard pattern for what the different codes mean, each manufacturer uses their own set of codes.

Y'all, I finally managed to fix it.

IDK if I mentioned this before but some reason, the OneDrive folder on my Windows drive stopped working when booted into Linux I could no longer open it - it would tell me that it was linking to a path or whatever that didn't exist - and whenever I'd search the error message online, all the results I would get would tell me that it had something to do with OneDrive backing up teh files online and I'd need to login to Windows to make OneDrive local only, which made no sense to me because uhh...literally the very first thing I did with that Windows install (back when I was still using Windows) was disable the online backup feature of OneDrive and have it be local online and I very much cannot boot into Windows try and fix it because my Windows install broke itself and I just couldn't be bothered to fix it.

ANYWAYS there's a plugin for NTFS-3G that's supposed to fix this issue and let you access your OneDrive folder and yet I could not get it to install properly, it just...would not work. BUT TODAY I TRIED AGAIN...and...I GOT IT INSTALLED AND WORKING. I can access that folder again!!!!

Thankfully, I didn't have any critically important files or whatever in the OneDrive folder but I did have my Sims 4 folder with all my mods and saves (I did have a backup of that folder but I made the backup in January and this error started happening in like mid-May) and now I HAVE ACCESS TO THAT AGAIN.
