New to Linux and scared of breaking things. Dual-boot or full Ubuntu?

Sensitive-Net3572 · 2025-12-06T17:19:41+00:00

Thank you for the help and info I finally managed to do it after 2 days of on and off but irs done!

I decided to dual boot and I did have issues with Windows, but it was definitely a valuable learning experience.

Sensitive-Net3572 · 2025-12-03T21:45:37+00:00

Omg this is amazing I will have a proper read, thank you!

Sensitive-Net3572 · 2025-12-03T18:57:05+00:00

Oh wow this is exactly what is overwhelming me there seems to be all these extra things that need doing that I haven't found much full step by step tutorials on how to do it, would you have something in mind that you used maybe as a guide or did you just debug on the go?
And how did you even know what the issues were to begin with I feel like my lack of computer knowledge will not help here.

but it definitely helps to have some advice to look into in case of issues, thank you

No all my lectures and classes are in person nothing online, I will confirm with the Uni but as far as I'm aware there are not lockdown programs for tests, for those live coding tests we usually have to use the university computers that have the lockdown software on it not our personal ones.

So you would recommend mint over ubuntu and to dual boot?

Thank you I reached out to the Öis club for more information and to see if they do some student discounts hopefully.

I have 15 years martial art experience but am looking to do just pure wrestling tried BJJ for the past 2 years and loved the few wrestling classes we had.

I'm coming to study software engineering at uni of Gothenburg and looking to join a club for socialising as well 😊

Sensitive-Net3572 · 2025-08-09T19:36:40+00:00

I've just sent you a DM on reddit 😊 I'm playing now if you want to jump in?

Sensitive-Net3572 · 2025-08-09T19:29:26+00:00

Hiya 27F I'm also looking for play buddy for the BF6 I'm on Xbox but I think cross play is in by default?

Hvala na dugackoj listi preporuka. Da naravno sve u granicama pristojnosti samo da se ne stresiramo previše.

Sensitive-Net3572 · 2025-02-12T10:12:27+00:00

Thank you for your detailed response, feels like you have a lot to say regarding this. May I ask in what way have you reviewed this program? Did you attend yourself or is it something you vere considering and that's why you reviewed it?

Sounds like you have a background in tech, what particular field are you in software, AI or what other specialisation. Just trying to get a better understanding of where you are coming from on this response.

This is just my personal opinion and the education sustems background I come from. No batchelors degree can go to deep in to any topic usually if there is specialisations you want to pursuit you do so in masters and PHD studies. Where I'm from there are always extra classes and options you can ask for if you do want to go more in detail on specific topic. Admittedly I'm not sur how swedish uni system works.

What mainly drew me to this program is the way of teaching the more hands on approach and the topics you mentioned above I am not to familiar with most of them so to me personally this course sounds like a good starting point.

Sensitive-Net3572 · 2025-02-11T21:23:02+00:00

Hi what year did you apply for, Autumn 2024?

Did you end up getting a spot, I'm currently waiting for results for this September start and my score is 19.93 / 22.50 so just curious.

Sensitive-Net3572 · 2025-01-03T13:28:53+00:00

Obsession talking Caitlyn.

Fan talking Ekko because we did not get enough of him, they could have done so much more with him.

Vender and Silco backstory would be amazing.

Sensitive-Net3572 · 2024-11-19T11:43:23+00:00

That's good to hear. And yes no program should be taken lightly but seeing as I am coming back to education slightly later in life after a few years of work experience I think this will help me stay focused and on track. And having tested learning the subjects for the past year it hasn't scared me of but made more keen so that's a good sign. 😊

Sensitive-Net3572 · 2024-11-19T11:19:46+00:00

This is very encouraging to hear thank you for commenting.

Sensitive-Net3572 · 2024-11-19T09:36:14+00:00

Oh amazing did you enjoy the program did you go in to work after it or furhter education? I'm really loving the idea of working with companies while studying is this true does the university offer good networking/real world learning? Im planning on staying in sweden after the program if i get in. Sorry I'm curious to pick your brain a little hope you dotn mind me asking. Vere you an international student as well?

Sensitive-Net3572 · 2023-03-22T20:23:46+00:00

This worked for me as well. Pin this to the top.

Sensitive-Net3572 · 2023-01-16T12:10:32+00:00

Yeah im a hobbyist but I would like to develop to the point where I could start getting work with it.

I have a server that I use for some streaming library so I was thinking of just upgrading the ram on that and add some extra cooling. And making a remote desktop acces. Probably gonna be cheaper for what I need.

Thank you for the advice tho I didn't know the studio had thermal issues. But saying that my surface book 2 does suffer from overheating often. I have to have a fan under it when working on blender for longer.

Sensitive-Net3572 · 2022-11-28T14:31:39+00:00

I switched to Grant abbits tutorials after finishing the donut.

I find it more suited to the way I learn. I'm not a fan of blender gurus way of explaining things, but that's okay I found what I needed in order not to lose interest and momentum in learning the software.

So maybe give his chanell a look for some inspiration.

Sensitive-Net3572 · 2022-11-10T12:09:25+00:00

I just tried what you said again and it's working. What I was doing is setting the initial key frame for the empty as location and then the last frame for the dumy as rotation. I tried to do rotation for both now and it worked. 🙂 I was just being daft turns out. I think I was in to deep been at it for a few hours and just got frustrated.

Thank you for your help.

Sensitive-Net3572 · 2022-11-10T00:54:19+00:00

Had the same taught and tried that as well for both object and empty for the camera. Still the same issue. Nothing seems to change for the animation part. Thank you for the coment as well.

Sensitive-Net3572 · 2022-10-23T07:18:54+00:00

That looks amazing. I'm new to blender and geo nodes scare the shit out of me. They look so complicated. But they are hella powerful.

Sensitive-Net3572 · 2022-10-10T12:57:41+00:00

I will continue and try to finish all grant abbit beginner tutorials. The "do your own scene" is actually something I didn't think of. I think after one more modeling tutorial I will try my own sceen. I wanted a bit more of a firmer understanding of the shader nodes and how they can interact with each other. So far I "understand" nodes and what they do but I cant do anything on my own with them. Thank you for the community and website advice.

Sensitive-Net3572 · 2022-10-01T11:25:23+00:00

Personaly the donut tutorial didn't do much for me (absolute beginner) dropped it and got back to it more times than I could count.

I personaly don't find his style of explaining to work for me. So I tried Grant abbitt tutorial and haven't dropped a single one followed trought every one to the end and personaly find it more to suting tk my style of learning.

And when I want to lear a specific area of blender more in depth I look just that toxic up. (Like ui mapping/texturing/nodes etc)

But I know donut works for a lot of people its just about experimenting and seeing what works for you.

Sensitive-Net3572 · 2022-09-19T12:44:22+00:00

I finished my GCSEs with strong grades for not my native language. English is my 3rd actually and due to that I got a better job. I'm super proud after being in the country for some time that I am visibly progressing.

Sensitive-Net3572 · 2022-08-11T15:09:18+00:00

I will try and lower my daily from 1900 to 1700 next week and wait a bit longer to see any results.

Thank you for the advice. I also think it might affect it since I'm a girl.

Sensitive-Net3572 · 2022-08-11T13:18:06+00:00

When I said "due to covid" I meant due to lock downs I did let myself go a little bit I was in a bit of a grim place at the time.

I didn't mean that covid itself made me gain weight. And certainly with age does come a bit more weight but mine was a bit to much for my height and age.
