Has anyone ever written a script to make canned edits to config files? How'd you do it?
Like, yeah, I could bang something out in sed, but I want to make sure that its resilient to other changes in the file its modifying, and I'm curious if there's a better way I'm overlooking.

hey, it could also be /sqg/ I have a work pc, prebuilt from HP. It has an SSD and an HDD. SSD runs windows 10. on the HDD i successfully installed Debian few months ago, but now I want to try Manjaro. The computer is HP and it has HP UEFI >pic related I installed the Manjaro successfully, i chose full disk (the hdd so its /dev/sda/) and i chose the Master Boot Record there on /dev/sda during the install. However, computer still boots into windows. Not sure how to configure the legacy/secure boot setup, if this "fast boot" also plays a role etc etc. However I changed and however it appears in HPs uefis boot menu, it doesnt boot and switches onto next bootable thing from the ordered list, hence windows.
However, when my colleague lended me his usb with some grub test tool, it showed the manjaro in its interface as a bootable system and when i clicked on it (while live booted into this test program) it showed some error in some file called "grubenv" but after that, it booted into installed manjaro.
I tried update-grub and no result. PLS i really dont want to use windows disk anymore

fuck me,running void linux headphones decided to not work. speakers work fine, when I plug in headphones they are not detected or something. pavucontrol only shows me speakers as an option. This happened after booting into windows partition. I'm at a loss. no common google answer has worked. uninstalled, and re installed pulseaudio to see what would happen. headphones worked like a charm on install, but now I only get laptop speakers. what bullshit.
