or a distro using kde plasma.
I have literally talked to one person at work, that he might want to try out Linux Mint in VM. Dude have never used Linux, but seems to be skilled enough to install it on his own.
I put Mint on a PC for my dad because it's first thing easy for him to use and second a 32-bit machine and Mint the best choice I found that runs on that.
Distro-hopped a lot till I landed on Manjaro with XFCE desktop environment. Been daily driving it for about a month now without any complaints. There is an option to install with NVIDIA drivers as well.
Ironically Roblox doesn't work on Linux(On Wine at least not sober).
I’ve been learning Linux (Ubuntu) with an old Laptop a friend was going to throw away.
I like it, but I’m not ready to switch. My biggest complaint… why the hell is it so hard to access an external drive??
I eventually got it, but now I can’t for the life of me remember the command line I used to set access for the first one to set up another one.
There may be an easier way to access the external drive, It depends on what you are bar is for difficult. Are we talking about a NAS or an external USB drive?
What's your current method for connecting to it?
External drive connected by USB, formatted to FAT32.
Shows up readable, but not writable as default.
It's not supposed to be read only every time, The nasty command you enter is likely fixing a symptom.
A lot of times if you're swapping back and forth between windows and Linux the drive will be perceived as dirty. An fsck might be enough to make it stop misbehaving.
After you plug it in if you run sudo dmesg, It might give you some insight as to why it's being mounted read only, If you fix the underlying cause you won't have to remember the command anymore
