    Dislike to Linux

    you shouldn't care about bill gates. he left microsoft in 2008 so he really had nothing to do with windows for quite some time after he stole it. The reason windoze is so big on the games is because people wrote them for windows. if they were written for the AS400 then that would be the big...

    Why Kali

    sounding like I thought. Lack of education. How do we educate people so they do not make the mistake of choosing Kali when they really needed Fedora or Mint?

    Why Kali

    I see so many people asking for help on Kali. Kali is for security uses and not regular use by regular people. So my question is why are so many newbies catching a hold of Kali and trying (unsuccessfully) to install and use it as everyday linux? They should be sent to look at Fedora, Mint, or...

    Dislike to Linux

    You are right. I am amazed when I am at my linux station and have 3 browsers 9 websites open, a video and 8 other programs running all at once and everything is responsive. LINUX IS AWESOME

    What should i do in this situation

    If you are in a position that you must have windows programs then please do not try to make them work in Linux as you will only frustrate yourself. Take a look at this link I wrote for dual booting...

    More of a managed switch question than Linux Networking

    I work with Juniper and Cisco managed routers. Most managed routers and switches are a pain. Only reason I used them in my own stuff was in the past they were better equipped to handle the traffic I had and I wanted to learn. Now it is no longer necessary to use managed equipment most of the...

    Thunderbird Security Issue and Firefox ESR

    Firefox ESR is garbage. If possible you should install full version. As for security leaks, you are glad you didn't install thunderbird but what else do you have installed that has security issues? Hmmm, bet you have no idea. But keep using google GMail because we all know google is perfectly...

    Without Warning.

    only things I am aware of that will do what you describe.... 1... loss of power during some critical disk operation. 2... Hard drive corruption due to problem #1 or because a butterfly in China flapped its wings. 3... Mechanical hard drive dying. Look at S.M.A.R.T. and see if any errors are...

    Won't boot knopix from external USB

    well, I did some research on your laptop. You are not the only person with the same problem. It seems that legacy mode is being obsoleted on many BIOS due to a push from M$. You may be stuck if they shut the option off in the BIOS. You can attempt a BIOS update but I doubt that will fix a...

    Won't boot knopix from external USB

    It will go but if secure boot is enabled then legacy is not available. You must turn off secure boot first. Message should tell you that when you try to turn on legacy.

    Won't boot knopix from external USB

    guess nobody looked, but they may not have made the USB drive UEFI bootable. CHANGE THE BIOS OPTION FROM UEFI TO LEGACY. Bet it works.

    Won't boot knopix from external USB

    for knoppix you may also need to turn off the UEFI and go with legacy in the bios. It was on that screen you showed us. It opens up a whole lot more options.

    Problems with Samba shares on a mixed network with kubuntu and win10 devices

    not sure if it helps. My setup does exactly what you seem to want. I have a dedicated machine with fedora 38 as a server using samba. Users do not have to be on the local machines. I have one network user setup that is connected in the FStab file on each of a dozen windows or linux computers...

    Problem with wifi and bluetooth

    I realize we love to solve problems but sometimes a simple solution is the best. If the NIC is not working right for you then get another one that does work and use it. Problem solved without issue. If this is a laptop you can replace the WIFI if you are technical enough to go in and do it. Or...

    How Long Do HDDs,SSDs and Flash Drives Last.

    Everything there is so true. however you are mixing up an actual SSD which is the same physical size as a laptop HDD and the M.2 chip which does the same thing and the same people that tell you that the tablet has 64G of ROM for you to store stuff on, are calling the M.2 an SSD. Which it is in...

    How To Disable The TPM Under Linux

    I have heard of the bios and logo attacks, but not seen them personally. Sad that people feel the need to destroy. What I guess I should ask is how does TPM work? is it something we really need or is it another way to make life tough for the users and devs? but no real help except for windows?
