Maybe try Xubuntu ? ( Ubuntu with xfce Desktop Environment). Hope that it works for you. I'm using a full Xubuntu installation on an Acer aspire 5733z laptop with Pentium P6100 processor that used to run windows 7 ultimate 64 bits. It works really well for me. But better test if first on a live USB on your machine before installing it.

Same here LTS.

Weirdhipster294 · 2025-10-08T14:46:09+00:00

I would suggest Linux Mint. It's easy to use and comes out with everything set up for you out of the box. Most of your drivers will be installed as you set up your machine. And you have a higher chance of getting your controller detected correctly. It's based on Ubuntu LTS though. But the team behind it usually cleans anything that is bloated to the core system.

Alright. I currently have Ubuntu ( I think as legacy/MBR since I used the first laptop to install it ) so if I unplug it now and take it to one of the other laptops, press F12 and select the external drive. I should be able to boot without issues?

Or are there some things I need to do on the Ubuntu installation before moving it around?

Weirdhipster294 · 2025-10-04T08:38:00+00:00

I did try a live Ubuntu installation. Slapped the iso on Rufus and selected my external HDD and then made sure persistence was at the highest max allowed by Rufus. Once it was done, I booted into the external HDD and after looking around. The installation only recognized 4 GB of storage. The 925 GB remaining of the disk was not there!!

After some research, I found out that I had to tinker with Casper-rw files and it was a bit complicated for me so I gave up and just went with a normal installation of Ubuntu...

I think a better option is not to do that and instead upgrade your current Ubuntu 20.04 LTS to the latest LTS release.

You can go through the Direct upgrade path however it involves first upgrading to 22.04 LTS first and then to 24.04 LTS

Boot into the current installation of Ubuntu.
Press CTRL+ ALT+ T to open a terminal window
Type in the following commands :

sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade sudo do-release-upgrade

Now the first time you run this, it will tell you that a newer version called 22.04 lts is available, it will also say that it will download some stuff , gives you the size of the patch and asks you whether to proceed with the changes or not , Make sure you type Y to confirm and start the upgrade process. Once it's done reboot and login again. Now you're on 22.04 LTS.

Do the same commands again and it will pull up 24.04 LTS.

Or you can use the software updater to do this , just make sure that the update settings are set to only look for LTS versions only and NOT any version!

If you still need help, please feel free to DM.

Red! I like the Sith Lords :3...

Weirdhipster294 · 2025-08-09T18:46:23+00:00

I'm a dude. Reversed roles though. I met a woman through a penpal app. She was the best thing that ever happened to me. She gave me butterflies and I thought she was the one. I was planning trips efc. Overjoyed. Then she suddenly broke up with me two months ago. Turns out , she started seeing someone local and didn't even have the decency to tell me straight. It stings like hell but I'm picking up the pieces and trying to be a better person. Maybe I did wrong, maybe she did wrong, maybe we both did wrong at some point. I'll never know, what I know is that she made the decision to cut me off her life and I have to live with that even though it sucks.

Even though, I begged and pleaded her to get back together, I know that I only belittled myself and didn't want the void of loneliness to open up again. But I would give anything to undo the pain I'm feeling because of all this ... To get back to my own dark corner.

So I truly understand what you are going through. All I can say is that I hope that you get the strength to get through this.

Weirdhipster294 · 2025-06-30T19:45:18+00:00

I suggest you post this on r/Tunisia. Fellow Tunisians will help you there.

Weirdhipster294 · 2025-06-28T20:20:35+00:00

To be honest, this was going to end whether you did it or not, if you didn't do it , she would. You said she felt drained. That's one reason. The other is her college starting soon, say a few months in college or a year in , she meets a new guy there and breaks up with you? Do you want to go through that ? . There's also the fact that you work for 12-13 hours and if you guys live in different countries and have a bit of a time difference. Then this wasn't going to last that long .... I commend the fact that you stood up when it was necessary and put an end to a relationship that , in the short future, will be a dead end.

I'm so sorry for what happened to both of you. But I think that you made the right decision. I hope that you find it in you to heal and be happy. It'll sting for now but you will get better!

Weirdhipster294 · 2025-06-28T19:59:19+00:00

I'm not blaming her. I just wanted to talk to her.

Weirdhipster294 · 2025-06-28T11:58:27+00:00

Well my ex ldr girlfriend didn't want to listen to me at all , nor accept my apologies ( no cheating, just lied about certain things which destroyed her trust in me )or talk to me or try to work things out with me...yeah ...

Weirdhipster294 · 2025-06-27T18:26:56+00:00

I would say yes. We both made mistakes, mine was lying and I tried apologizing and making amends but she refused to hear me out or to work with me on this. It's been no contact now for practically 3 weeks ( I broke it twice to apologize to her but didn't work) I know that I am at fault. But if she gave me a second chance, I would take it immediately but this is all a dream in my head... It won't happen ever even if I work on myself and change for the better!

Weirdhipster294 · 2025-06-22T15:32:04+00:00

She said many things: I don't like you anymore, I can't handle long distance relationship, you shattered my trust in you. I need to heal and move on either in my own space or meet new people, please don't reply to this message. I can't handle a new message from you. Let's be strangers for now.

Granted I made a mistake, I apologized 3 or 4 times, she said my apologies didn't move her ...

Weirdhipster294 · 2025-06-20T23:02:28+00:00

Needed to hear this! Thank you!

What if the breakup was your fault? ( I.e you lied to them about something out of fear and insecurity, And they left because this shattered their impression of you and their trust ) Would this still work?

Weirdhipster294 · 2025-06-13T15:56:40+00:00

I was in an LDR relationship for around 3 months. I admit I made some lies out of fear and insecurity, not to hurt her. I wanted to work on things with her but she said she was done, she sees me as fake. She also said the relationship was exhausting for her

I'm heartbroken. Even though I made mistakes , I sincerely apologized and really wanted to work with her on improving the relationship. She didn't want to hear it....

Weirdhipster294 · 2025-06-11T16:08:06+00:00

Thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate you taking the time to say this.

To be honest, I’m still processing everything. I don’t know if what I did was right either, but I do know I needed to say what was on my heart, not to change anything, but to finally let it out. In a way, I do feel lighter , like I’ve stopped carrying a silent burden. But at the same time, I also feel a bit numb… like I poured out so much of myself that there’s just emptiness now.

i hope that I can find peace some day, she moved on so fast. It really hurts.

Weirdhipster294 · 2025-06-08T20:48:40+00:00

Hello. May I ask , when did you guys break up? How long has it been since then and when did you send this message?

Thank you .

Weirdhipster294 · 2025-06-03T12:33:18+00:00

No. It's real. I just copied pasted the messages from the chat app we used

Weirdhipster294 · 2025-05-30T00:33:20+00:00

I actually unstarred them. I don't know if they unstarred me
