Essential and strongly recommended things to do directly after a Kubuntu 24.04 LTS installation

It's always attached. I have Window installed on PC but for some reason couldn't install Linux on it so I had to use an enclosure instead. Bottom line is I try to not even use Windows, but every now and then Linux doesn't want to boot until I update Windows first so I still have to get into Windows sometimes

Windows fast startup is probably locking up some of your hardware.

Thanks for the reply but if "Fast startup" is the same as "Fast Boot" I have that disabled along with tpm.

No, it isn't the same at all. It is a sort of hibernation-like state Windows uses for....faster startups. This can and often does "lock" some hardware devices, even entire drives. This almost always breaks dual booting on single drives, often breaks dual boot in general, and in my own experience has locked out or messed with things like bluetooth firmware.

Thanks for the script.

Thanks for all of that very detailed and easy to use info.
It is quite the time-saver.
