How do people go with linux...

I'm not trying to rant about linux or anything but it feels like a large pain to work with. I can't seem to get usb persistence so my settings and shit save. I also can't seem to get installation of programs to always work, which is made worse by how I can't even have them stay when they do install. Why does this have to be so frustrating... why do the good things in life have to treat me like this

You are running off a Live CD, you need to install it

If you are running Ubuntu/Mint, there will be an option "Install alongside Windows" once in the setup, choose that if you have Windows installed and want to dual boot

I find Mint with Cinnamon to be a good OOTB distro....but I'm doing anything but the basics I tend to go with Cent OS (but that's for more advanced stuff e.g. Oracle DB, etc.).

Another great begginer-friendly distro is Gentoo, installs in no time at all, comes with a nice interface, powerful package manager etc

In case you haven't tried it yet, Universal USB Installer allows you to set a persistent file system for live (K/L/X)Ubuntu USB installs. Not sure if persistent file systems are also supported via UUI for other distros tho.

I dunno, it feels real buggy on my laptop, I did end up getting ubuntu, the only issue is that how alot of applications don't seem to have 32 bit support on linux unlike on windows

I did install it to a the hard drive and this laptop is so old and shitty that it can't support 64 bit cpu, I have a excellent pc but I need to find the money to buy a laptop and not rely on one that was a gift

well for your Chromium that's good, it means that the key is inserted and verified in your comp, then do a sudo apt-get install chromium to install your browser.

For 32-bit PC and a little comp with not big resources, I'll consider to use the MATE branch of Ubuntu. Seems user-friendly to me, so you may try and see :)

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
