one time when i was little i caught one in a bucket and brought it to my house and chilled with it in the yard

Dual Booting: How in god's name?!

I have one drive, 1tb with Pop_OS, and another, 500 on to which i want to install windows. (I know, I dont like it either but I want to play VR games via link cable cause ALVR is really mid) So, I put the ISO on a drive with ventoy, booted it up, got it all going. started to install windows on the empty drive. So, after the five...

this is indeed, pretty damn weird. I’m going to go with uninstalling pop os, and getting windows first on the smaller drive, then getting either KDE Neon or Linux Mint on the bigger one. kinda sucks, i wish i couldve just installed but it doesn’t seem like there is anything i can do. thank you so much for the help, comrade. rat-salute

sorry! i will edit the post to include the following: i don’t really care about the quality too much, i want to spend ~80 usd or so, but that’s flexible within 10 dollars or so. i would prefer a headset that has a USB dongle, like a wireless mouse. i don’t really need a microphone in it, but i wouldn’t really conplain if there was one.

gnome may be the desktop environment, depending on your distro. it looks like this:

1000001639

if your desktop looks like that, it’s gnome (Pop_! OS, Ubuntu/Kubuntu, and a few others come with it by default)

depends. anything illegal/political extremist shoot for something outside of the fourteen eyes.

short question by an aspiring user

Hello, apparently hanging out in Lemmy inadvertently makes you thinking about using Linux. I am planning to install Linux Mint cinnamon on an older laptop, which I want to bring to LAN Parties. From what I read I can just format my C:\ windows disk, install Linux via bootable drive and from what I understand, proton is basically...

blakeus12,
@blakeus12@hexbear.net avatar

nope, don’t even format it. just plug in the usb and pick the option that wipes your drive.

no problem, good luck with mint!

I made it to Linux! What is your must-have FOSS or Free Software for linux?

Thank you so much, comrades! I am feeling pretty comfortable with linux mint, and now would like some suggestions for some absolutely necessary FOSS or free license software for the OS. So far I have the standard, Firefox, ThunderBird, LibreOffice, yada yada. Thank you again to everyone on the linux comm! sankara-salute

Distro Picking

Hi! You may be sick of these posts by now, but I have been having a very hard time selecting between three distros; that being OpenSUSE, Fedora, and Linux Mint. I have tried linux in the past, I did debian with cinnamon and ran into some issues, so I ended up sheepishly reinstalling windows and getting AME10. I want to give it...

one of the main reasons i use my computer is to call my friends, as we live pretty far apart now. we use discord, whose voice feature was almost entirely broken for some reason, and i couldn’t convince them to switch to matrix.

blakeus12,
@blakeus12@hexbear.net avatar

would you recommend another distro? if so i would love to hear it

blakeus12,
@blakeus12@hexbear.net avatar

thanks for the recommendation, linux mint+cinnamon has been great so far.

blakeus12,
@blakeus12@hexbear.net avatar

thanks for the advice! i think i’m going with mint.

blakeus12,
@blakeus12@hexbear.net avatar

awesome, i hope it works on my second try

blakeus12,
@blakeus12@hexbear.net avatar

thank you! i am on linux mint!

blakeus12,
@blakeus12@hexbear.net avatar

thank you! i will keep that in mind when i inevitably start hopping distros after a while
