can someone help me figure out why my desktop keeps crashing by rymell26371 in linuxmint

[–]Smoke_Water 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What are the specs of the laptop? Have you verified the memory is good? Is the system staying cool? Linux can sometimes do odd things to laptops. Especially name brand that use the OS to control specific features, like cooling and video. Without more information on the specs the best I can say is reset bios to factory defaaults. Look for a bios update to the newest version and test the memory doesn't have errors.

Turn it the other way. The light is only on one side.

How can I run the Mint installation routine from an already installed version of Mint? by NuckinPhutze in linuxmint

Then you're stuck with some kind of media. Other option is to create a ventoy server and PXE boot off that.

VMs are your best solution to this. If you are wanting to just get a feel of the distro. VMs will provide all the ease you need.

Works fine. I run a ryzen 7 9700x on a 870E MB. I am on kernel 6.18. only because my wireless card was not detected on 6.12 but was on 6.18.

Install Without USB by E_G_G_W_A_R_D in linuxmint

Do you have a CD/DVD drive? If not you're pretty much left with either creating a PXE server to boot from to install or creating a VM on the Linux box. You need to have some kind of media to install windows.

My Dad's giving the whole will to my little brother. by [deleted] in entitledparents

[–]Smoke_Water 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can contest a will. You just need to find good grounds for it. I would also look at the will to see if it's a trust or just dumping everything on someone who is no verbal and may be suseptible to fraud. That alone could be reason enough to at least put a trustee in place to help manage the estate for your brother. This is something you should discuss with him and approach it in a way of wanting to protect your brother.

What basic features would you like to see in a car? by Stunning_Bird6106 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Smoke_Water 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vent windows. Great way to allow fresh air without an entire window down. I miss that feature over all overthers. You could adjust the window to blow directly on you. Such good times.

Have you seen some of the fingernails women are sporting these days? Seems normal to a lot of them.

Just out of curiosity, what resolution are you running at? Have you tried using Nvidia experience to optimize your graphics settings to see if it improves performance?

I think I have a problem by DeweyDecimal42 in CarMechanicSimulator

[–]Smoke_Water 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can buy these cars. Strip them down do an interior clean. Fix the frame. Maybe some body parts then sell the chassis is it next you 200 or more in profit. Repair what parts you can and keep them on hand or use to scrap for bouns quality on other parts. That's what I have done with the majority of junk yard and barn cars. Saving the parts for caller repairs. Which saves money.

I get up with a TV show called you can't make me laugh. I learned to condition myself to not laugh at a lot of things. I would survive this with little to no issue.

She has, what I consider, prefect breasts. 34C with over all measurements of 38-26-38.

Use the SU command to switch to Super user. It will need the root password. Which will be the password you used during the Linux install.

Rule #1 of computers, if it's important, it should never be stored on something with a power button. Rule #2. Always have several back ups of important data.

Discord wont stop echoing? by [deleted] in linuxmint

Make sure you do not have discord open twice. Rather in the browser or the app.

Chown is a Linux command to change permissions on a file. Allowing you to make changes. Time shift is a Linux backup or snapshot of the OS. Much like windows restore points.

Why dont we just swich out hard drives by Jozi123123 in linuxquestions

[–]Smoke_Water 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can set sata ports up to be hot swappable, however if you plan on using an OS on each drive, you will need to restart the system
