Merry Christmas to everyone at Gamers on Linux! If I'm lucky I learn something every day. Thank you for your post, Gizmo. I'll try to never buy a LOM...
Sorry if this is old news, if so I beg your pardon. On 16 Dec '15 "Motherboard.vice.com reported a GRUB2 bug that lets anyone with physical access to...
Wow guys, thank you for your support! Yes, it was Slackware that was the true bear, thank you for filling my memory gap-- I totally avoided it. There...
I used a handful of Linux distributions ages ago, when "Linux for Dummies " didn't exist, so I got "Unix for Dummies" instead. The funny thing is...
Thanks very much for your reply, Booman! The GEForce 750ti is a great suggestion, but the local retail assembler offers limited choices, I think...
I hope this question isn't off topic. I've made a tentative list of the hardware to put in my new Linux only (the latest Mint, Cinnamon) box. Who...
I could be cranky and complain about all the robots...but shazam, it's being done in Illinois, and not Shenzhen. Where's the legitimate gripe?
Thanks very much for supplying the link to the Extreme Tech article Daerandin, it's an important one. As long as we have less and less freedom to run...
Thank you for letting me know that yes, you only need Windows for some games. Whew, that's a great relief (for me) but not for you--sorry. Maybe the...
I dunno if UEFI is actually worse than BIOS was, which wasn't a breeze for me, tbh. Are you running Win8 for compatibility with some games? Please...
Interesting hassles. If only I really understood all of them! I know nothing of the Realtek problem you're having, I sincerely hope that it doesn't...
Thanks very much guys, I appreciate your patience!
I've been sick and discombobulated lately, more confused in general than I usually am. I tried to respond yesterday but my password line was blank...
Can't find the Secure Boot option in the UEFI argh, and now the UEFI beeps every time I start up. I guess changing things in "BIOS" has always been...
Thank you all very much, I'd be nowhere without you all!
Thank you Daerandin! Weird, FAT 32 in Windows land is SO yesterday, this makes booting even more complicated. Goody! I haven't seen an option for...
Thank you, Daerandin! Who knew I had a UEFI mainboard? Not me, shuh. Come to think of it, no BIOS company's logo was ever seen on the screen, duh. I...
Oops, that was Mint 17.2, even though "17.3" was iso'd onto the thumb drive. A bolder shade of green would be better but nonetheless it WAS Mint. At...
My friend Mr C used a booting menu that I couldn't find to boot Mint 14.2 Cinnamon. Amazing! Of course the operation stopped quickly because of some...
The only laptop I have is an ancient Dell which hasn't come out of its carrying case in years. I'm so lame that I don't need a laptop, I have a...
