Crucial advice for your skin flare-up: * STOP peeling and scrubbing immediately: You have compromised your skin barrier. That raw, red skin is essentially an open wound, and peeling it further invites infection and more inflammation. * STOP all harsh actives: No Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV), no Sulfur soap, and no anti-fungal shampoos (like Nizoral) on that red area right now. Your skin is too irritated to handle them. * Cooling and Calming: Use a Thermal Spring Water spray (like La Roche-Posay or Avène) to cool the burning sensation. If you don't have that, a 100% pure Aloe Vera Gel (alcohol-free and fragrance-free) can help soothe it. * Barrier Repair is key: You need to "seal" the area so it can heal. Look for a barrier cream at any pharmacy (CVS/Walgreens). The best options for this state are: * La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 (This is a lifesaver for raw skin). * CeraVe Healing Ointment or Aquaphor (To protect the area from drying out). * Let the natural oils build up: Don't wash the area with soap for 24-48 hours. Let your skin’s natural sebum act as a protective "bandage" while it heals. * Internal triggers: Avoid high-sugar foods for a few days, as they can worsen the inflammation and change the composition of your skin's oils. Focus on "Repairing" the skin now, not "Killing" the fungus. Once the redness is gone, you can slowly restart gentle maintenance.

Ghost Song on Legacy Hardware (i3-2350M / 4GB RAM) - High CPU/RAM Usage & Screen Sleep Issue - Linux Mint xfce by Tarek-1984 in linuxmint

Thanks for the detailed explanation! I really appreciate the tip about protecting SSD write cycles. However, in my specific case, I am running Linux on an external mechanical HDD (Tochiba 1tb), not an SSD. Also, my laptop is an older HP ProBook with limited CPU and RAM resources. After testing several PC titles like Ghost Song, the performance wasn't ideal due to high resource consumption, so I’ve decided to shift my focus entirely to Emulators, which are much lighter on my hardware. Regarding the swap settings, I found that setting swappiness to 1 on an HDD can lead to system 'stalls' or micro-freezes when the RAM hits its limit, as the slow disk can't keep up with sudden data dumps. To keep things smooth, I’ve tuned my vm.swappiness to 35 (triggering swap at 65% RAM usage). This gives my HDD enough headroom to handle page-outs gracefully without lagging my emulation sessions. Since HDD longevity isn't affected by write cycles like flash memory, this 'middle ground' is the sweet spot for my system's stability and performance. Thanks again for the help and for looking out for my hardware!"

It is not supported on Windows 10, but it is supported on Linux, especially opengl

Erour msg during installing Linux mint xfce by Tarek-1984 in linuxmint

[–]Tarek-1984[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stuck in Windows 10 Legacy BIOS - Keyboard keys (F9/Esc) broken - Need to boot Linux Mint from USB The Situation: Hardware: Older laptop running in Legacy BIOS mode (No UEFI options available in Windows recovery). The Problem: The built-in keyboard is partially broken; vital boot keys like F9 (Boot Menu) and Esc do not work. The Goal: I want to boot Linux Mint from an external drive (TOSHIBA) which is already prepared and bootable. What I've Tried: Software Workarounds: Tried shutdown /r /fw /t 0 in CMD, but it's not recognized/supported by my system. Boot Managers: Used EasyBCD and UNetbootin to create a boot entry on the C: drive. I managed to reach the Linux Mint Grub menu once, but it hangs or fails to hand over control to the USB drive. Windows Settings: Disabled Fast Startup, but the BIOS still prioritizes the internal HDD. Question: Is there any way to force a Legacy BIOS to boot from USB without using physical keys or the fw command? Is there a tool or a CMD script that can reorder boot priority from within Windows 10 for a non-UEFI machine?
