    Why is there so much software available for linux when so few people use it?

    That's because their is actually not enough Linux software. I can't update my Uniden Radar Detector or the head unit in my Subaru because there is no Linux software that can do that since there is only Windows and Apple software available for those tasks. Wine and all it's derivatives don't work...

    How fast is your browser ?

    Looks like another useless test from developers that don't check their own work. Out of curiosity I tried this test to see the outcome using my modified FireFox browser and all it does is run for ever repeating it's self with no results. I then tried Brave and LibreWolf browsers and ended up...

    Is Linux Really That Harder Than windoze ?

    No, it's not a must. I used MX Linux many times in a Live Session using strictly the G.U.I. While I have nothing against anyone who likes to use the Command Line and I think it is good to learn it if you can. I am strongly against Command Line Junkies that push the Command Line like a drug...

    Is Linux Really That Harder Than windoze ?

    In my personal experience, Linux is not harder to use than Windows as long as you stay away from these command line junkies in the Linux community that insist on making Linux harder to use.

    Gparted

    You need to format that unallocated space. You can name it what you want, naming it Kali would be good and then select GPT and Ext4 then select format.

    VeraCrypt for a volume in Linux

    I use MX23.2 Linux XFCE with full disk encryption that I use VeraCrypt that I encrypted two of my drives that I use to backup to using LuckBackup. It takes time to set up but works well. I only mount those drives when I do backups and then unmount them using VeraCrypt. If you want to use one...

    [Solved] Sound stopped working.

    I found out that these stupid speakers have a factory reset. They have 3 buttons on the front, 1 is the volume, 2 is for surround sound, and 3 I don't know what it's for. They supposedly have software in them which is asinine. After doing the reset it still didn't work. Then I played around with...

    [Solved] Sound stopped working.

    [Solved] Sound stopped working.

    I can prove it by plugging in my old speakers and they worked which is what I did. These new Creative Labs speakers sounded nice when they worked but are complete garbage because they only lasted 1 month. Where they are made tells it all on why they broke as they are the lowest quality garbage.

    [Solved] Sound stopped working.

    I fixed it for now. The speakers that I purchased about a month ago failed. The only way to fix this problem permanently is by firing squad.
