Does anyone have recommendations for simple, free learning platforms? I have found Open EdX to be rather limited and user unfriendly (both to students and developers). I'm looking for something suitable for a small course where marks aren't really relevant.

no particular recommendations, but those are at least self-hostable to try out without commitment

@Ramhound You win. Goodbye

@John - I win what? I wanted you to improve your answer not delete it like you always do

@Ramhound I am ABSOLUTELY and POSITIVE certain you wanted rid of me. So you won. Congratulations.

@John - You are taking it personally. I never had a problem with you.

computer has a couple of OSs on different drives/disks

@Ramhound I don't think so. You have picked away at me (posts) for 3 years. I just had enough. You can look at it any way you wish. I don't care anymore.

@Federico Is your BIOS set to the correct boot type? (Legacy vs UEFI)

@Michael I would think so. the PC booted correctly until 2 days ago. yesterday did not have to turn it on and today this issue. no BIOS changes in the meanwhile

Your BIOS coin cell battery may have lost its charge, causing some of your BIOS settings to be lost.

thank you

@Federico Ya, it's gonna take a bit more troubleshooting. I assume you can get into your BIOS right now? If so, poke around and check if anything got changed (things to look for include Secure Boot, UEFI vs Legacy/CSM, disk controller type (AHCI/IDE/RAID)). If nothing stands out, then I would try booting with a known-working USB flash drive to an installation environment, and then see if you can access your hard disk / SSD. If Windows, try running the Command Prompt in the Recovery Environment

@John - I “picked away” at answers I thought were factual incorrect or incomplete, I would provide feedback to those answers, and they would be deleted. I rarely said anything when I upvoted anything of yours when it was factual accurate. If you took my actions as personal then I apologize. However, I am not going to feel bad, about the feedback I provided, or even the lack of feedback recently when I realized that feedback was appreciated.

@Ramhound Thank you. Let's call it draw. I did not take things personally. Neither your nor I are always correct, but it seems I am much more incorrect in here than correct. I have had good answers downvoted. So you apologize to me and I now apologize to you. I am slowly returning and we will see what happens. Thank you again.

@Federico I would disconnect everything but the basics (one stick of ram, video... and start from there)

also turn off fastboot if it'll let you into the bios
