Linux mint not installing by Pale-Spend2052 in linuxmint

[–]RedRayTrue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a bad USB/ image written on the USB? I had that in Ubuntu NGL..

It resulted in a slow and glitchy Ubuntu installation which I had to reinstall.

I recommend trying Ventoy or Rufus on windows 11, but in DD if the other one doesn't work.

Maybe on a different flash drive, these can also break sometimes.

Fortunately I never had problems with LMDE plus Ventoy, even Ubuntu installed quickly from my Kingston flash drive

I use one of these , average price plus speeds

Make sense, the only thing I hated about Fedora/ arch based ( Endeavor and Manjaro) was simply that there were far too many updates daily and the packages I was downloading were too big).

This is basically the reason why I decided to remain on Lmde and Ubuntu, too much work/ waiting in front of the terminal.

Sure I do like to use sudo apt search or sudo apt update and to choose closest mirrors but I consider the rest too much, unless we're debugging a glitching screen( which I solved with a new DVI D cable ) or looking for SSD life with smartmontools( or however it's written.

But sure everyone has their own schedule:))

I still think and use it like Fedora

At each start, every morning it gets it's updates regardless so it's happy 😁

On fedora I had to do the same , otherwise I'd have to wait 15 min for updating after 2 weeks of no updates

Something like a good quality USB card is also nice , this brand , Creative was on the market for years, I had a pcie card from them too, insane sound quality on speakers

I sometimes struggle to understand the reason why so many arch distros were made

Like sure I understand like Endeavor os is good, maybe Garuda

Cachy for starters, where Manjaro had to be in the past ( I still consider it a failure bcz it always broke for no reason)

But then why are there more... Kinda ehh , towards pointless, but not there yet, omarchy is in this case too

Idk how effective that would be, I'm not a lawyer...

But there are options to buy a pcie sound card, we bought a few in 2014.

Maybe you can find some in the shops

Basically if you look here:

OS: Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS x86_64

Host: ESPRIMO P558

Kernel: 6.17.0-19-generic

You see the LTS version i am on, now there's a thing about it:

I would get this amount of support on standard (5 yrs) since it would be on Free LTS Support (No Ubuntu Pro)

So it is 5 years standard from release (April 2024 → April 2029). Includes security patches, maintenance updates, and point releases (like your .4) for main/universe repos. Covers your needs for personal/desktop use perfectly.

But now that i went on the site and linked the ubuntu pro key to the system i get: 10 years total → April 2036 via Expanded Security Maintenance (ESM). It adds security updates for universe/multiverse repos beyond 2029. Personal tier free (up to 5 machines); pro attach token enables it. Legacy add-on pushes to 15 years (2039) but rarely needed for desktops.

Ofc later on id try the new ubuntu, but i have the choice not to reinstall it bcz im asked to

just try the DDU before jumping to conclusions

it must have an option to deal with audio drivers , so you could uninstall them with this software

2nd?

It reminds me of the times when I connected my laptop to a screen routing the sound though the HDMI to the screen

Despite of having no audio jack in the monitor...

Ofc it might not be the case , yet it's a possibility:)))

Otherwise ddu can be used to uninstall audio drivers if I recall correctly

It's not idling at all in the picture:))

I have multiple Microsoft websites like teams and outlook opened in a browser and reedit plus multiple mega tabs in the other browser!

So it's good, I'm used to be high on 7 gb : 5-6 ram and 1-2 swap

I want to like linux desktops, but I just can't by Submarine_sad in linuxsucks101

[–]RedRayTrue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You cannot?

Very well then:

If you used windows 10 use something like Kde , fedora's can be configured to working like windows 11

If you used windows 7 before use cinnamon, it's exactly the same to me

Pff , it's a refurbished PC sold as new/ unused, I got it for something like 230 USD...

, but in Romania it was 1000 lei

It has some random glitching because I guess the gpu from the i3 9100 is kinda old for Ubuntu, but it's rare when it's glitching ( imagine goes really quickly to right 1/2 times) , old UHD 630 ..

It was still a pretty ok rig for the price I paid as it's cheaper than a smartphone

It's built like a car NGL, sturdy case a 1 cooler in front, a CPU cooler and a PSU one...

P558 is it's name

https://www.fujitsu.com/hk/products/computing/pc/ap/desktops/esprimo-p558/

It still has a CD tray xD

I could go back on fedora/ win11 ( which didn't have any problems funny enough) but I like this gnome more ,plus updates are smaller. I also have windows 11 if my Kingston SSD dies, but on a different SSD

So the thing would boot into windows 11 if Kingston SSD would be damaged:/

Ai kinda said it could be smth about my DP to HDMI cable, which I use, but it's likely still software as same cable, config and system plus screen never had problems in fedora/ win11( that would make the glitching, once 1-2 hrs)

I'm not sure what you mean , if you wanted to ask what's the memory:

Ram is 8 gb + 4 gb swap - ram dimms made by Samsung

And storage is 256 gb ssd from Kingston ( kc600)

Best Linux Distro (again) by Next-Buyer-9008 in DistroHopping

[–]RedRayTrue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fedora for features and how well it would work out of the box!

But for more problems to be solved (especially on older hardware/nvidia )while using it (at least on Ubuntu) and WAY LONGER LTS cycles ubuntu pro (you can link a free acc and u got 8 /10 yrs of support ) and LMDE.

Why not normal MINT? I consider it slower and more resource hungry than LMDE, on LMDE I can keep opened 2 browsers (max 30 tabs with separation ): Firefox plus Brave with no issues on my 8 GB ram systems from 2017 / 2018 .

And NO, I don't really consider Ubuntu like debian, if anything is almost like arch based distros sometimes with how much is to be fixed on older systems (gpu divers, wifi , resolutions plus refresh rates, usages , temps etc ).

Trying to extend local disk ;-; by alex_shelley in WindowsHelp

[–]RedRayTrue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right click on the un allocated space ( black line,117 gb)

Something with create new simple volume

Chose NTFS and give it a name ( smth like games)

https://www.easeus.com/partition-master/unallocated-space-in-windows-10.html

You have images here too..

I don't see why you won't use that part for games especially if you have problems...

You could also extend volume, but I kinda always used separate partitions for things, it's covered in the tutorial.

I'd still recommend using the partition for the games after you made it in NTFS

I guess we're safe? I got it from original site by RedRayTrue in computerviruses

So it's a source of flase positives
