A few reasons that I like Linux and the distro I use Mint is 1/ I can watch the progress of the updates with the little terminal box as well as watch the system monitor and see the progress in the CPU as well as how quick the download was and the amount of code downloaded. 2/ With the update...

I obtained a Seagate Expansion SSD {2TB} to replace a ext. HDD that karcked it on me; I finally decide to connect up to Goldie to-day and she doesn't want to recognised it. When I connected it up first off I was powered off and when I powered on the UEFI stalled and hesitated so I unplugged...

This may not belong here or it may not? I was looking at buying my granddaughter a laptop to help her with her studies at University. All the ones that I was looking at either had, DOS, Ubuntu, or just Linux installed and very few had Microsoft installed. But they never mentioned which distro...

Since we are jabbering on about Vindows I have a question of any of you that is familiar with their command prompt as I need to diag. the battery on my laptop. Just need to know the commands to see what is plurry going on with it, as its behaviour is erratic. Battery is basically a newie as I...

G'day All. Excuse the slightly long intro. I do a lot of thinking about this that and the other and I have some great ideas whilst doing other things on the computer mainly when I am reading. So I thought there are voice to text programs out there in Software land. I could use voice to text...

I have a AppImg sitting in my downloads and I was reading an article by @KGIII and went to a website he suggested and I also noticed that there was one also for the Deb version on their download page. But apart from that when I download a deb file that is not part of the Debian repository...

I am wondering is it possible to set-up a dedicated Email server for myself? Can I set-up on my computer without requiring another dedicated device? What would be a good choice should I require a dedicated device? When setting up a server what are the list of steps, with a few words to describe...

Problem:- I want to be in some way able to down load specific and personal Emails for my archives so that I can view them offline and without having to use a browser to open them. I just tried downloading an Email from Gmail and it downloaded just the original Email but not the subsequent...

OK! Crew here is the problem. I have a PDF book digitised by Bezo's mob which are in Public Domain. The way they have done it is by using images ( that appear to me as being just photocopies) so that you cannot copy any of the text you wish to add to your study notes. I came across this many...

Ok! What I was doing. Trying to check the integrity of a few distros I downloaded. I cd into the folder containing said distros. I had allocated each distro with their own folders. That went OK. :) So the path was this cd J_ISO (main folder ) done -- cd MX (folder.) returned bash: cd: MX: No...

Just a quick one. Been thinking about virtual boxes as I hear so many Linux oriented You-tubers talk about using a virtual machine or box. Even in one of the PDF's I downloaded about security was talking about it and using it to run the exercises. So what is the the most reliable one to use...
