P&Ns middle name is and

They just had to connect some islands and drain excess water, that could in theory be done at the same scale as the poster suggest, but the water pressure will be something.... :P

Question Linux on a USB or VM?

Question Linux on a USB or VM?

Couldn't choose headphones, only speakers with the regular sound settings. With Alsa mixer I had access to all the settings which came with the sound card (but not very polished), but I can't make custom settings. :/ Sound worked fine in my VM, so it was not something I had thought about.

Question Linux on a USB or VM?

My Soundblaster AE-7 didn't work with my headphones right out of the box. Had to use alsamixer to make it work.

Question Linux on a USB or VM?

Well, I'm up and running, and posting from mint :D I think it put the GRUB on my new disk as I from the BIOS boot menu can choose either to boot windows or ubuntu, on my two different drives, and if I boot Mint I can choose Windows boot manager as an option, so I got two boot managers (an EFI...

Question Linux on a USB or VM?

Windows drive on nvme0, Linux on nvme1 + 1tb ntfs partition. And I've decided on using Grub as boot manager. Not fish eye, but 1024x768 stretched to 32:9 :P

Question Linux on a USB or VM?

Maybe I should just choose install alongside windows, as it seems to choose the correct drive for installation? Nvme0 being my Windows drive and Nvme1 being my new SSD.

Question Linux on a USB or VM?

What to do now.... So, I finally decided to try to install Mint but had to give up during installation as it all became too complicated. Obviously, I couldn't just choose regular install, so very quickly I got confused to have to create different partitions to /, /home, /swap and where to place...

Question Linux on a USB or VM?

As I did not knew exactly how it worked and how much storage it would use, mint recommends it being enabled in some form. Do you use hourly, daily, weekly or boot Timeshift images and how many?

Question Linux on a USB or VM?

Timeshift used up all my space on my VM, so I disabled it. Do you use it in your Linux systems? And if so how have you set it up? Also I tried installing KDE plasma on Mint, just to get a feel of the flexibility of Linux, but reverted back to Cinnamon, as I don't think I need to over...

Discussion ***Official*** 2025 Stock Market Thread 💰

I'm not a programmer, but as far as I understand, documentation is usually pretty important writing code. Can't AI write comprehensive documentation for its code?

This is why you should host your data locally, or at very least have local backups

Yeah, all my cloud files (mostly photos) are locally stored too, and I have an external harddrive where I do backups ~4 times/year.

Senator Tom Tillis (R-NC) will not seek re-election

Then you explain to them that Fox News and Trump are lying to them, and are not trying to do what is best for them. And sure if they don't want you anymore that is the name of the game.
