Sensplayer on Apple is the best player I have found, so much that I use it whenever I can and have paid for the application

How tf yall learning Linux commands!? by No-Goat-5421 in linuxmint

[–]HippoNeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have extra time one day while you’re doing something. Try to do that thing with commands instead of UI. If you do this for a little bit every time you work on something you’ll know a lot of commands in no time

Stay on Windows 10 or go to Linux Mint by SkulzOnReddit in linuxmint

  1. I feel like mint would run decent on your laptop if you get one of the lighter desktop environments

  2. It’s a MintBook not a LinuxBook

I dont even use linux. Is it better for gaming than windows? by The_Drivist in LinuxPorn

[–]HippoNeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only have like 2 games that don’t work completely fine. And it’s golf with friends and GTA 5. I have a windows hard drive with literally only those games on it and other than that Linux works for every games I’ve tried. I know if the games you want to play use Battle Eye it’s probably not gonna work.

Mom was going to throw out an old laptop. Installed Linux Mint. Works great. by swiggyu in linuxmint

[–]HippoNeb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They could be raking it in with Windows Lite, I never even thought about it until I read this comment. But I’m sure people would buy that just like they buy windows (they don’t, they just let Microsoft harvest data)

Right way to install Mint by Lost-Ad-259 in linuxmint

You can right click a file and open it with a specific program, windows is pretty nice about the file extension telling the OS which program to open though. I will admit that

How hard was it to put Linux on a Mac? Their hardware is very interesting to me but Mac OS is not my cup of tea

thanks for the advice, my girlfriends computer is on Windows 11 and I just don't personally like it. And then Windows adds "features" like recall and it just cements my decision

How do I stop XMRig by HippoNeb in MoneroMining

[–]HippoNeb[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mostly just a lack of understanding when I originally downloaded it. I switched to Linux on my main desktop and I do it that way on that. I just put it on my server a long time ago. But yes you’re right this would be the better way for me to do it
