Boy, that felt like a rough year. A lot of bad things happened. An auto accident which maybe should have cost my life but which currently only resulted in a constantly-sore shoulder and lost my job for me.

This report is not meant to be a Deep Dive so much as an I Want It Fixed NOW, How Do I Do It? We may be hearing from my other team members as I go along for more tips.
Cleaning up EFI
After many installations of different distros on my computer, I discovered...
