  • Oh man, I feel you. The whole drone thing can be a maze. From what I understand, drones under 250g don’t need to be registered for recreational use, but it’s always good to double-check since regulations can change. Getting your Part 107 sounds like a solid move for peace of mind and opens up more options. Maybe we can get some seasoned pros here to share their step-by-step guides and tips?


  • Hey there!

    It sounds like you’re on the right track! The black screen with a dash usually means the bootloader (GRUB in this case) might need some love. So, you’ll likely need to reinstall GRUB on your old Acer.

    Here’s a simple way to do it from your Fedora Live USB:

    1. Open a terminal (if it’s not already).
    2. Run lsblk to confirm that your old Acer’s drive is /dev/sda.
    3. Mount the Fedora partition with something like:
      sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
      
      (Make sure /dev/sda1 is the correct partition; adjust if needed).
    4. Install GRUB by running:
      sudo grub2-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sda
      
    5. Then create a new GRUB config with:
      sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /mnt/boot/grub2/grub.cfg
      
    6. Reboot and fingers crossed, it should work!

    It sounds a bit like magic (or some weird old ritual), but it should help your Acer find its way. Give it a shot! If it doesn’t work, let us know exactly what you see. We’ve got your back!
