Trying to mount an iso image in the terminal and accidentally un-mounting your root drive.

Totally didn’t do that before…nope not even once, definitely not twice >.>

I dunno if the Hub software works but I do have a Seagate OneTouch portable 4TB drive and it worked without issues on Linux after reformatting like I would any other drive.

Yeah I wasn’t expecting to make most of the money back, But if I can get a bit then it’s still money towards something I will use.

Selling it to try make some money back.

I built this PC before I even thought about switching to Linux.

Too many driver issues, couldn’t get Wayland working despite new drivers supposedly working with it.

Don’t worry I wasn’t planning on sticking my hands into a powered up PC anyway haha.

You just got me to remember something about a Vulkan package when I first installed Steam so gonna find the AMD package for that. Thanks!

Just note it works with ANY Winamp skin you just have to install them manually, My install I got from the AUR has the skins folder located /usr/share/audacious/Skins/

You can find most classic skins here! they are obviously very low resolution and don’t think people are making HD winamp skins these days…

If you don’t already know what desktop you’re going to use I’d suggest KDE Plasma. It’s pretty close to Windows out of the box, and as another comment pointed out there’s Tiled menu for it which is basically a clone of Win10s menu.

I’ve seen quite a few people rocking NixOS with Hyperland. And I thought the whole idea of Nix was to be more stable than most rolling releases?

I don’t use either so I’m far from an expert on this.

‘I’m turning into a penguin’

Good onya mate!

Luckily the laptop doesn’t use Nvidia.

Hopefully soon my own desktop won’t either >.>

You can change the core count AFTER making the VM which I agree is really annoying.

Besides that everything else has worked more reliably than others options I’ve tried.

I hate to say it but having a full desktop is becoming more and more of an enthusiast setup.

Even laptops are becoming somewhat niche as people more just use their phone for all web browsing.

I understand having updates go south on you, I do use a rolling release on my own PC, Annnnd Windows 10 before that.

But I’m paranoid about security, increasingly so in recent times. So I at least want him on an updated web browser.

I am a KDE enjoyer and use it on my own desktop. But Gnome works really well for touchscreen devices and my dad has already gotten used to it so.

Gnome Boxes has worked pretty well for me.

I honestly forgot Debian had a none stable version.

He’s not too picky with web browsers as long as it…well browses the web.

I’ll give it a go and hopefully get 4 years away from being tech support. Thanks!

That’s what I’ve heard just wanted to see if anyone on here had experience just letting it update in the background.

Videos of the Steamdeck showed me how good gaming on Linux had gotten and that’s when I started looking into switching.

I already hated using Windows 10 so didn’t take me much convincing to look at alternatives.

I’m not a programmer or work in the I.T. field in anyway. But I have been messing around with computers since I could remember so I’m no stranger to tweaking, breaking and trying to repair things.
