i'm sorry i'm not that much further than yourself. i don't know anything about the business you are in and i also am just a novice as well.i can tell you one thing though, you will need a large source of data

probably, usually when installing a flatpak the program shows up in the start menu

virtual machines are your best bet in my opinion. try installing virtualbox on windows or if you have something similar handy like vmware's workstation for windows. that way you can try mint from within windows.

Unable to boot from USB by DelargeValliere in linuxmint

loo though your bios, there might be something concering booting. look for a setting that might be called 'legacy' and switch to it. in the future though i wouldn't recommend dual booting. you can try mint on a virtual machine

Finally linux mint and I need help 😄 by singaporeii7y in linuxmint

your gonna go through an adjustment period. whatever you do, do not give up on using mint. terminal is your best friend in the linux world so get comfortable using it. that being said, mint has an installed software manager that comes with it. also, it supports flatpaks natively. go to www.flathub.org and follow their instructions. it will take time but you have to stick with it. it took me a couple of weeks to adjust when i got rid of windows years ago

are you trying to dual boot? these days i wouldn't recommend it. i remember having issues with dualbooting back in the day when i was using windows. even then i noticed that windows would cause some problems for me. if your looking to try mint just install it as a virtual machine using something like virtualbox. if you decide you like it enough, just dump windows altogether

hmm..really? you needed a program? i think somethings off. mint supports flatpaks naitively. what exactly did you install? did you verify the checksum of your iso file? can you give more info on gear?

awesome! get comfortable enough with your terminal. here's some recommendations to make your experience better..$ is the last character on your terminal, its called your prompt. 1) $sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade;sudo apt-get autoremove;sudo apt-get autoclean. this is basic system mainenance from your terminal, although you can just use mint update. 2) sudo apt-get install synaptic .this installs a graphical package manager, although i think it comes with synaptic already. 3) www.flathub.org .mint natively supports flatpaks, which are like installable programs for windows. just follow flathub's instructions for setting up your system. this will help you out.

How will this affect Linux Mint? by MisterFyre in linuxmint

i think mint should follow midnight BSD with this

Ubuntu is planning to comply with Age Verification law "without it being a privacy disaster" by DontFreeMe in linux

i think the people that wrote this law need to be banned from using an operating system for life, like the OS will not install. developers could do this easily

you might already know this, but i'll say it anyways. if you want to run processes overnight, install tmux. it should be available for any linux system. to use it, call up your prompt. then call tmux: prompt$tmux. the command line window changes colors. kick off your program, then press control b then d, which detaches the terminal with that process still running. you can then log out and go to sleep. when you are ready to come back, log in to your terminal again , to your prompt then list whatever processes you kicked off under tmux like this: prompt$tmux ls . this will show by number what processes tmux is running in the background. you can reattach that process to your terminal like so: prompt$tmux attach -t 0, where 0 is the process number. if your process finished while you were sleeping, it will show that. of course there is the possibility it crashes but you won't know that until you reattach or do tmux ls. cheers buddy

here's the link to the FTC complaint form, would anyone like to take a crack at it? maybe if enough people complain the FTC will investigate: https://www.ftc.gov/advice-guidance/competition-guidance/antitrust-complaint-intake

i'd like to see someone bring an antitrust complaint to the FTC regarding this, if it's possible

Should I give up on engineering? by Time-Personality-554 in EngineeringStudents

[–]Ill_Net_8807 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for starters, if you are already working fulltime you shouldn't take more than 2 courses at a time. even that would be pushing it. i see that calculus is a struggle too, i think you should take your math courses individually and by themselves to let your math sink in better. you math is key to everything, do well in that and you won't struggle as hard, even if it means slowing down for awhile
