I swear Nix users are the mormons of the Linux world.

If you’ll be using it in a shop, as a tool and that Debian works well. Well… stick with Debian !

The POSIFLEX issue might have to do with MBR. On your final linux installation, your partition table should NOT be using gpt but mbr and that might solve the issues.

It has to do with older BIOS not recognising gpt and henceforth being unable to boot from the disk.

N.B. you might have to configure your GRUB/systemd loader accordingly.

Fissh, a new terminal emulator to ssh on fish.

I had the same problem with a MSI GF65.

I had an Intel AX201, which is basically the same device as the intel killer wifi card on the GS65.

I battled with the issue for a very long time. It came from Windows and only from Windows. You have to disable fastboot and there is a way to shut it down “fully” which you have to do.

If that does not solve it your only way out of it is to reinstall Windows.

It might be because I’m using Arch and everything has to be done manually 🤷

Good for you if you have it figured out ! Welcome to Linux !

Try to use OnlyOffice. It’s the only viable alternative to MSOffice that I have found.

Because it’s not about installing them, it’s making them work that’s not intuitive. I have an nvidia card and some linux experience, it was hard for me to set it up. If you have no background on linux, making it work might make you abandon it. In those cases it’s better to go with something that has everything figured out for you.

This looks like someone’s fetish…

I started using vim to learn rust. It’s awfully powerful and I fully understand the hype.

However when I started to program, vim was NOT a good option to learn. Because you have to learn how to code and how to use the coding tool at the same time. It can be too much to take in.

Does it matter ? 🤷

Why not, though ?

If you want up to date go with Arch/Nix, don’t go OpenSuSE.

Your mint setup is fine to start learning, as others have said. Start with something simple : python, javascript, …

For programming, there are tools available on every OS. However I have found that those tools are easier to use on Linux. Okayish to use on MacOS. Programming with Windows, on the other hand is, well… it certainly is possible, but… see for yourself.

For instituitions it varies depending on each one of them. Usually they have their own tools because it is easier to organise a class if everyone works on the same IDE but if you get good enough it does Not matter what is your OS/IDE of choice. VSCodium is nice but anything like kwrite/kate/gedit/geany is good enough. Hell, even nano can get the job done.

I have found that, despite being more recent, linux kernel 6.1 LTS works better with a core2duo than WinXP or Win7.

However, when using a DE, I cannot use KDE or GNOME on a 2GB RAM computer. It is simply not enough. On base, it uses around 1.6GB which is almost 80%. But XFCE works okayish.

On a 4GB+ RAM PC, it works flawlessly. Whether it is an older or modern CPU.

While the point of obsolescence stands, it is not enough. For example I have used a GSI android 12 on an huawei android 8 phone. It has worked better than the android 8 version.

But… 2GB of RAM is not enough to accomodate a modern android experience, on that he is right. If you want Android 12/13/14 you might want to have at the very least 4GB of RAM. Swap spaces help but are not enough.

If I remember correctly, you can define the modifier key in KDE. Not sure though, you might have to test it out.

That would be the fastest way. Apart from that, it’s very much possible by binding every possible action to different keypresses. That would be long and stenuous.

I tried using the wiki to set up nvidia but to no avail… Is there any insight you might give me ? I’m using Plasma and have a prime card (intel/nvidia)

Yeah even for linux enthusiasts, without archinstall, it is hard. at first. Then once you know what is expected it is easy. But the first time setting it up correctly is frustrating. Particularly if you forget to install intel-ucode.
