    How to dual boot windows 10 Pro with Ubuntu 20.04

    I have dual boot on all my computers, some dual boot with Win 7, others with Win 10. The most important thing I have learned is to install Windows first, then follow up with your Linux install. I have found that Win 10 plays a lot nicer with a Linux install than it did in the past. When you...

    Old acer laptop, linux noob, have questions

    I have an old Asus W90 laptop, quad core processor. It is 11 years old too, bought it in 2010. It is running Mint Cinnamon 20 and dual booting with Win 7. No problems at all. Of course the Linux distro boots about 10 times faster than Win 7, but the Linux is on an SSD and the Windows is on a...

    It's time for a poll. How long have you used Linux?

    I started with PCLinux 1.1 in 2007. That was the first time Microcrap really pissed me off. I built a seperate box just for Linux, at that time.

    Sick of Microsoft!!!

    Hi, Sherri. I'm sort of late to the party here, but during my working life I was heavily invested in AutoCAD. Matter of fact I still dabble some with drawings since I teach at an industry trade school. When I switched to Linux I had the same delima. I did a little searching and found...

    Although I am technically retired, I do work occasionally at my companies corporate training headquarters. As such, I had to install Microcrap Teams on my Linux machine so we can do group meetings without driving to the training center. The irony is while I was reading, and "Liking" your post...

    Where do you buy music from?

    My wife and I own way too many records, tapes, CD's and VCR tapes. We have an entire large walk in closet full, and we never play any of them. Today we use Spotify free. I think you can purchase and download from them.

    GPS...TomTom, Garmin or Navman..or...?

    I have used them all, as personal GPS units came of age. I like the Garmin the best, but the company has it's quirks. One other thing, they are expensive to repair. I currently have a 2597 (I think that's the model number), that is belly up and their website wants 289 bucks to fix it. I had...

    Oh wow! You're going to strain my "Old Man Memory." I'm currently not at home. I've been in North Carolina assisting my sister with her divorce and my invalid parents. But, I'll give it a whirl. The big box Linux machine is an Asus MB, with a 6 core I7 processor. It was built around 2012, I...

    Digital microscope

    I've never thought about doing this, but I imagine it is no different than connecting a digital camera to your computer. If you microscope has the capability to attach a camera, or there is a kit that would allow a camera to be attached, this would be fairly easy to accomplish. My Mint can...
