Hey, I want to clarify, I'm not looking to bully or harass the furry community or any of its members, I'm a furry myself, and I made this meme simply because I thought it was intresting how common anthropomorphic animals are in animation
I've reflected a bit, and I think the reason I have a general dislike of such online app databases is because they don't give you a file, but rather just do everything their way, and the way I organize my stuff isn't compatible, at least as far as I know. Would there be a way to have something similar to what I have on Windows? Something like a "start" menu manager (i don't know what it's called in Mint), to allow me to create folders in the menu
My set-up of Linux Mint and GRUB seems to have messed up my Windows drive, as now I can't boot from it directly anymore, but only by going through GRUB first, and I want to uninstall Linux. How would I go about figuring out the issue and fixing it?
As for why I want to uninstall Linux, it's mostly two reasons 1: My father gave me a spare HDD he had since I'm not a fan of buying things when you already have them. Turns out (coming from a teen who's been booting from an SSD for most of their life) HDDs are slow, too slow for my liking. 2: Linux, Mint at least, feels incomplete, sort of like a tech demo, with extremely limited support for anything that wasn't directly intended by the developers. The concept of having to compile something yourself is basically foreign to me, and the few times I had to do it in Windows I could easily find a way around it. Plus having to basically rely on a built-in app database/store to easily install apps... Kinda stinks to me, and not being able to simply download an installer from a website and having the program, whatever program, up and running reliably within a minute, the concept seems ridiculous... I'm not sure, I could be really spoiled by Windows 10, or simply too used to it.
TLDR: HDDs are slower than I thought and Linux doesn't seem good for people like me
Ps: Yes, I know, mass storage is "super cheap" nowdays, but for someone who only reliably gets money during their birthday and Christmas, €20 may as well be €200
Also, I am pretty sure that I will come back to Linux in the future once Windows has devolved to the point of being garbage (which from what I've seen might be very close) and I've gotten better at general computer usage (which may be close too since I'm starting to familiarize myself with CLIs)
No, I don't think so, the GRUB menu appears only when I boot from the Linux Mint drive
My PC isn't powerful enough to do that well, I've got a mid to low-end PC (yes I have tried assigning more RAM and more CPU cores to it
I just finished setting up dual-boot for Linux Mint and Windows 10, and I noticed that now Windows isn't booting properly when I start it up directly through the BIOS. I don't know how important this is, since it does start with no issue through GRUB
I'm mostly wondering if this is normal
The snippet from the Google search "What is FUSE Linux" told me that, according to wiki.archlinux.org, it allows a non-priviledged user to "create their own filesystem without editing kernel code". What does "creating my own filesystem" mean? And what does that have to do with editing kernel code? I'm really sorry for asking questions that are this basic, but it took me 5 years to find a website that explained well enough how to run an exe file with arguments, I'm just not that bright
Yeah... What's that about? How come they still work?
I'm planning on dual booting Windows and Linux on my computer, but each system from a separate hard drive, but what about my 3rd hard drive (which i use mostly for storing games, videos etc...) Should i use ExFAT? I can't really use NTFS because Linux can't write to it.
Since I'm not sure where to ask what is probably a basic question, what's a Linux package?
Hmm... An interesting thing I've noticed is a lot of people seem to put the DS and 3DS together in their head as if the difference is minimal, but I've tried them both (tough i only own a 3DS) and it feels to me like two entirely different experiences, like the jump from NES to SNES, hell, we went from the largest games on the DS being <1Gb to the largest on a 3DS being almost 4Gb
It's something I never really understood...
And what category does the PS2, Wii, Xbox, Nintendo DS/3DS fit into? They aren't retro, but they're not really "modern" either
Edit:sorry about posting 4 times, it kept telling me that it had a correction error
