Always back up your stuff, but after doing so, the process is pretty much boot to bios, set boot priority with linux usb at the top, and away you go.

If you have secure boot enabled, you might have to enter a pass code or passphrase but otherwise its identical to traditional bios. If you want secure boot, which prevents someone else from doing this process to your machine, re enable after you've installed nvidia drivers otherwise you'll have to provide it your secure boot password during and sometimes it likes to break.

Not defending windows 11 in any way, but on install, when you get to the "login to your microsoft account" screen, if you open command prompt (ctrl + f10 i think) and open the network utility - type ncpa.cpl, then you can find and disable your network adaptor. Close cmd and the network utility and click back. It will ask you to create a local user.

I've done this a couple of times and it hasn't forced me to create a Microsoft account yet (I use a lot of windows vms). If this no longer works on win11, apologies, it used to.

Run it in your head, find the edge cases yourself, fix the bug... weakling.

Or do what I do in real life which is patch in new bugs and even a security flaw or two.

So reading up on the evolution of whales for arguments sake has me realising all dolphins and whales are (as mentioned) from the same family.

Your traditional whale fits into "Baleen Whales (Mysticeti)" which have "soft, hair like structures on the upper mouth" and there are 16 species and 3 families.

Meanwhile there are also "Toothed Whales (Odontceti)" with 76 species and 10 families. They are smaller, actively hunt and almost always live in pods.

The most surprising thing I've learned is that the Baleen Whales typically have two blow holes...??? Also they do not echolocate but they do sing/chat.

So almost all your traditional large whales fit into the Baleen category and the traditional dolphin fits into the Toothed category. So there are key differences between them, but the overall family is whale.

This is a dumb argument huh

Dolphins are whales with teeth, a distinction that makes them just slightly not whales

I've read your update but try Terminator. You use alt + arrow keys to navigate multiple on screen terminals, create new ones with ctrl+e/o and its my favourite. I highly recommend giving it a try!

Eyyyy, I'm on Mint!

My bad, what linux distro you running?

Nice try Microsoft, I still don't like your monthly "small" ui changes that hide the features I use and add extra "get copilot now" buttons

 

So I've been running Windows on my gaming system and Linux on my laptop for Uni for a while. I chose this to discourage working instead of relaxing, or gaming instead of working. However, I am finding that I often get the opportunity to work from home and I find it easier to just use my laptop on the go (I have a dual monitor setup + kvm switch so its a little annoying to have to come home and run 3 cables just for some extra screen realestate).

I want them to run the same OS so I can use the same tools and workflow. I use Ubuntu 23.04 on my laptop, W11 on my PC. I have nvidia GPU's in both (1660 Super Desktop and 3050 Laptop), so installing and maintaining drivers would ideally be easy. I would use Ubuntu but I plan to move away from it since they're moving away from .debs. Any recommendations? I am looking for stability, but something I can game on. I've never had a linux gaming pc so I don't know how much that changes things. I don't want to do much tinkering, I am more of a set an forget type.

I generally prefer Gnome, XFCE, KDE, Cinnamon, Mate in that order. I looked it up and a lot of the games I play are Proton DB Gold or up. The only game with an anticheat that I play is the MCC and I'll just disable the anticheat if its an issue.
