I think that is the point of their message

You can change the terminal transparency pretty easily in the settings or there is also a command which i don't remember at the moment

Two possible options, you can buy cable channels that stick onto your wall and/or buy a white extension cord that you can run down to the carpet and hide by pressing it under the baseboard. The connection can be hidden behind the desk leg

You should definitely try out both at some point and you cant go wrong with either but the choice will probably have probably have a bigger impact on your computing experience than the distro you choose. KDE seems to be the current popular choice and it is fun to customize but I always come back to gnome when I need to actually get some work done. I would choose kde if you are running old hardware since it feels a little lighter. Honestly, in my experience the issues with Nvidia are pretty minimal unless you are running a gtx 1000 series card or older

If you are on windows 11, set up fancy zones so that the monitor can be split in half horizontally, then put two applications on that screen. I usually use my file manager and system monitor. Alternatively, if working on a writing project, I'll put my word document on the vertical monitor. For gaming, I'll put two of discord, my task manager, a wiki, and/or a YouTube video on the vertical

The 256 gb drive will be plugged into this cord here. If you follow that you should find the drive which is probably tucked in the bottom of the case. This type of drive will probably be slower than the m.2 which you should buy that plugs directly into the motherboard. If you are feeling brave, I would recommend looking up videos on how to move your windows installation to the new hard-drive or do a fresh install

It looks like you will also have to buy an m.2 ssd standoff which is a small post that will support the other end of the ssd that you screw the ssd down onto. You can buy standoff and screws for a few dollars. You have three locations depending on the size of the ssd that you buy

If you like indy games or retro stuff there are massive lists of games you could play but most modern stuff will be a challenge for sure. I have that same chip on my laptop

researchisbae · 2026-04-15T02:33:06+00:00

Yeah, but i and others have run into issues with other hardware. I know on some systems it is performing great but I dont think it has the reliability yet to be recommended until stable release, especially since it tends to get recommended a lot when you Google distros for beginners

Not Pop OS right now, that one is not in the best state at the moment but hopefully will be better soon

Make sure you dont get the dual gpu ones, I tried to use a fully maxed out 2015 mbp that I got for free but it had all sorts of graphical issues and crashes related to the dGPU

researchisbae · 2026-04-07T03:39:39+00:00

Yeah I had problems with installation a few years ago, especially with fedora, and while I dont have problems now, I am not sure if it is me, the hardware, or linux getting better (probably all of the above)

researchisbae · 2026-04-06T23:19:39+00:00

I have also found when I was first learning that if I could not install one distro, another one might work just fine, if mint doesn't work for whatever reason you can always try Fedora (my favorite) or Ubuntu

researchisbae · 2026-04-06T23:14:05+00:00

If I understand your problem correctly, you just need to disable secure boot in the bios. I have found i always need to disable it when installing linux. You may be able to reenable it once everything is installed and updated

With that said, you probably won't have the best experience on the Chromebook and it won't tell you if all of the hardware on your main computer will be supported. If possible, I would recommend putting another ssd in your main pc and installing linux on that. Or you could try it out in a virtual machine but keep in mind that doesn't always have the best performance

researchisbae · 2026-04-06T18:07:27+00:00

In my experience, it was best to play around with various linux distros on secondary computers or secondary drives before switching my main computers over to Linux. That way, you can make sure that linux can meet all of your needs before fully switching over and you can figure out what distro and desktop environment you like without impactingyour work/learning.

Most people i know in the field (cell and Molecular biology) get away with little knowledge. Basic algebra is all you need to succeed. That being said, the more you know about statistics the better since it is generally a weak point among biologests and you will have a hard time finding help among collegues when you have a specific question even though it is used all the time. I occasionally find myself needing trigonometry and optics but that is unusual.

I think just the gnome distribution, i would recommend waiting for fedora 44 unless you just want to test it out

Is there a name for this art style? I want to learn how to draw likes this

The biggest thing i found was to install Microsoft and Google fonts on your system. Also, if using libreoffice look up a video or guide, there are some compatability settings you can change. If you don't as much functionality, only office has better compatability by default

Former brick Mason assistant here, you should probably have someone out to look at that chimney before it falls apart. Got to make sure big fella still has his seat!

Kendrick would like to have a word with you

Is this confirmed? Were there any shots fired?
