I have one drive, 1tb with Pop_OS, and another, 500 on to which i want to install windows. (I know, I dont like it either but I want to play VR games via link cable cause ALVR is really mid) So, I put the ISO on a drive with ventoy, booted it up, got it all going. started to install windows on the empty drive. So, after the five steps it kicks me out of the installer and now, I can't acess the second drive. Even through moving the boot order on BIOS, it always loads me into pop os. The only time it ever didn't do this is one time where it seemingly randomly gave me boot options, two of which were Pop_OS and one was "windows boot manager", which when selected turned off my computer and promptly i booted right back into Pop_OS. Can anyone provide some advice? TIA.

Preferably a dongle, but Bluetooth is ok as well. what wireless headphones do you use? thanks for all suggestions!!!

edit: because i wasn't very descriptive, i will append this: i don't really care about the quality too much, i want to spend ~80 usd or so, but that's flexible within 10 dollars or so. i would prefer a headset that has a USB dongle, like a wireless mouse. i don't really need a microphone in it, but i wouldn't really conplain if there was one.

I have the intelligently hide dock option enabled, as i feel like it makes most apps feel less cluttered. Is there an extension to make hitting the "menu" key, or what would be the windows key if we weren't on linux, make the dock appear? Thank you in advance everyone! Happy holidays!

I am not a fan of cinnamon and i'd like to try gnome or kde plasma. i have heard great things about both and i tried gnome before, but i really hated how it worked with linux mint (particularly that it replaced the login screen with that of the ubuntu login). is there a way to avoid that? any other general tips? thank you everyone!

I can't find a few games I want on gog-games.to, specifically world box. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you! !sankara-salute

In my search for knowledge about piracy and the dastardly fellows who partake in it, I came across an issue. How do these pirates attain nintendo switch games? i can't seem to understand. may anyone who is well versed in this topic provide some knowledge? much appreciated.

Just finished making my first, for numbers 1-10, some teens, and some double digits. out of the total 25 I made, it was an absolute grind. Wanted to know if anyone out there has shared their decks, so lazy people like me don't need to make them ourselves (lol). Thanks in advance, comrades! !deng-salute

Thank you so much, comrades! I am feeling pretty comfortable with linux mint, and now would like some suggestions for some absolutely necessary FOSS or free license software for the OS. So far I have the standard, Firefox, ThunderBird, LibreOffice, yada yada. Thank you again to everyone on the linux comm! !sankara-salute

Hi! You may be sick of these posts by now, but I have been having a very hard time selecting between three distros; that being OpenSUSE, Fedora, and Linux Mint. I have tried linux in the past, I did debian with cinnamon and ran into some issues, so I ended up sheepishly reinstalling windows and getting AME10. I want to give it another shot though, and I have settled on one of these three. I am an absolute beginner to linux and i'm a g*mer (laugh it up), so out of these which would be better? I don't have too many preferences, I guess I would like to avoid CLI's as much as possible but it's not too much of a big deal. I could get used to it and learn the commands. If you can give a bit of advice, that'd be great and I appreciate all of you! !af-heart

I am interested in how pirates on the internet (which i am not) would get there hands on the files to a game, just, for example, Baldur's Gate 3, without torrenting? Now, I have heard tell of a place where these nefarious no-gooders would do this, for example gog-games.to. But, once they have acquired the file, what steps to these pirates take next? I have heard that .bin files come with these illegal files? How would one approach using those bin files? All out of curiosity of course. Thank you!

So, I have used spotify premium for a long time and want to switch to using MP3 files. Is there a way I can find all of the songs I downloaded using SF Premium and copy them to a drive? TIA Comrades

I am an Amerikkan weighing my options on where to flee to. China is an option and i was wondering how much mandarin to learn to get into the country, where I can continue my education in the language there (because the best place to learn a new language is a country that speaks it) if i should be fluent before i move there, that's fine too. i would do literally anything to leave this shithole. TIA comrades and good day.

Hello! I have some q's about torrenting as the title implies. First, I know that torrenting requires a VPN capable of P2P, but i cant afford a vpn with such capabilities. is there any free ones available?

Second, if i end up being able to do so, where should i torrent from? i've heard of the pirate bay but honestly that's it.

Third, what is the best torrent client to use for this?

any help would be appreciated, thank you and good day comrades !comrade-doggo

It's called Runbow, if you guys have all heard of it I'll just go delete my post because duh.

Anyway its a little platformer where the background constantly changes color, making any platforms colored the same become intangible which leads to shenanigans. It's a super good time and I'd reccomend picking it up on sale to have fun with your friends.
