Windows Weirded Me Out

I've been using Linux Mint for over a month now. I've been wanting to make the switch to Linux for a long time, mostly because Windows is a beta OS with spyware built in, virtually no control over what you can limit the OS to do, and so full of vulnerabilities you could drive a dump truck full of viruses right through it. The only thing that was really keeping me on it was my college requiring Visual Studio for programming, and most of the games I play aren't available on Linux.

Now that I no longer need Visual Studio (I'm looking into learning how to do programming on Linux), am able to play my Windows games through Wine, and most of my web browsing and online stuff could always be done on Linux, I made the switch full time.

The other day, I was looking for a media player that had the same functions as the Nexus Media Player that comes with the Nexus Dock. It basically holds a playlist and when you click on the icon the music starts playing without having to open any programs. It just kind of runs in the background playing your music until you click it again to stop the music. I didn't know what the name of it was, so I switched over to Windows in order to get more info about it, and see if there was an alternative I could find on Linux.

As soon as it loaded to the desktop, I got this weird feeling. As I was looking at it, I started feeling gross, like I was being infected with some kind of weird disease just sitting in front of it. It was kind of like watching some kind of gross reality TV show, and you can't look away, but you can only wince and go, "Ew...yuck." I found the information I was looking for, and quickly switched back over to Linux. Afterwards, I sat for a few moments, feeling this...disgust...like getting drunk out of your mind and waking up the next morning and wondering what the hell that thing is snoring in the bed next to you. I almost had to go take a shower just to make sure none of it got on me.

The thing is, I use Windows at work all day long, every day, and never had an issue with it. But this...it was a just very bizarre experience. I know it's only Windows and all, but it just...weirded me out. This ever happen to anyone else?

Fingerprint scanner driver for Lenovo C940? If not, how to make one?

I've looked in quite a few places but can't find a driver for my Lenovo C940's fingerprint scanner. I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 and am fairly new to the whole linux ecosystem. If someone could point me towards one that would be great.

If not, I'm fairly experienced with programming and wouldn't mind delving into the low-level stuff and trying to code a driver so I can contribute if someone could just point me in the right direction that would be great!

I'm pretty sure I tried to the driver here https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/eeoyhi/the\_fingerprint\_reader\_finally\_works\_on\_the/ but to no evail

I'm getting sick of linux.

Like seriously, I've used windows for the majority of my life and I've heard some stuff about linux that bought me in. I tried using ubuntu since it was one of the popular OSes out there and it wasn't really worth it since I keep getting problems with audio drivers. I gave up generally on ubuntu and gave linux mint a try and the audio driver problems were gone, Only thing is I spent literally 3 hours trying to figure out why the nvidia settings wouldn't just work. and I keep failing and failing and literally got no solutions whatsoever. Like, why can't it just function like windows does? being 'open source' doesn't really excuse how hard it is just to install a fucking program from the web..

now one question is: why can't it just function like windows does? like even some linux apps require some hard work to install, so why????

If you are a Youtube content creator making Linux/tech related content, there is a glitch in the system that allows you to gain Millions of views and subs. Youtube is refusing to fix it, so exploit it to force youtube to fix it and spread your reach ti a wider audience.

One of the reasons why Linux is not widely adopted is the fact thay people simply don't know what it is. If you are making tech or Linux based content on youtube, use this exploit to reach a far wider audience while you still can. You will be helping the Linux community grow, you will get more viewer interactions, and will incentivise youtube to fix this exploit.

Simply create community polls with common search terms in the denoscription.

An example would be

We can include terms like baby shark and

pewdiepie to really broaden the audience and then spice it up with some among us and Minecraft crossed with the hit new youtube sensation that is rust on the OTV server featuring twitch funny moments from

jackscepticeye. I also have to mention music, asmr and markiplier that are all important terms here on youtube. Let us not forget of course the makeup and fashion community

by referencing shane dawson and james charles. Now whilst this is COMPLETE GIBBERISH to most an algorithm is able to pick out the specific key terms in this post and promote it accordingly. So lets support the Kpop stans by mentioning bts and lofi hip hop. We can even talk about some other big channels like mrbeast and dantdm. For some reason in 2020 some of the most searched

tags are game of thrones and avengers endgame... Let us of course not forget the most important things of the year like dunke peppa pig and roblox! Time for all the top

current searches Among Us - online game,

new song 2020, pop smoke and techno

gamerz and tubbo smp! Time For todays new aditions in SEO too: Thanos, fifa, joe biden, inauguration, Tommy, sidemen, mod, update, rt game, yogscast, the spiffing brit, game, predator, fortnite update, fortnite predator, boss! Lets glitch the youtube algorithm

Help the community grow and force youtube to fix this otterly broken mess!

Don't laugh I reinstalled Windows four times yesterday and failed each time because of Windows update

I don't want to go through that process again I already have a USB drive that has four different Linux operating systems I'm willing to sacrifice everything that Windows offers only I'm not sure that I made the drive correctly because I can't seem to get it to boot up and let me choose an operating system. I was using vec2boot or something I can't remember the name of it. But I've got it loaded with a couple extra other programs though that I had had to put on in a hurry. and I'm not sure if I even finish the whole process of loading it because while I did drag and drop all the isos onto the drive I wasn't sure if there was another part of the process that I missed because of that hurry.

Bottom line I have an USB with four different Linux systems including Ubuntu and musix, I think I also have AVLinux or something like that. And then one other but there are other files on there since I had to use my Android and it's for some reason seems to load an Android folder. And all I want to do is get this audio card interface that will allow me to attach an XLR microphone to work but Windows keeps on throwing drivers after drivers into the properties and I can't get rid of them. I'm done with Windows.

Is somebody willing to do a step-by-step thing of what I need to do to load that multi-boot which may include having to delete s off of it I believe it's formatted right I believe everything is correct but if you can go step by step I would really appreciate it. however you can do this however you want to do this I just need to help.I hate video chat, yet I'll video chat with somebody if they find it easier to explain.

It's safe to say I'm done with automated s.

If it helps sabertooth z87 motherboard, i7 4770k processor (never been overclocked) only two ddr3 RAM chips left cuz two of them fried but still 8 gigs, gigabyte GTX 970, focusrite 2i2 solo 3rd gen, and a Linksys ea8500 attached to an AT&t modem. Now if any of that was stupid to give away I'd love to know why.

Am I missing something simple or am I missing something incredibly huge about loading up that multi-boot USB? I'm also willing to absolutely just erase the two solid state drives that I have as they've been erased multiple times already cuz I have a Seagate hard drive backing everything important up. Including my porn.... Levity.

Good and bad distros for beginners/regular users?

I get interested in what linux can offer me, and I'm gonna try to enter this world...so, what can you recommend me as a starter in this environment? Good distros, difficult distros, friendly distros, bad distros. Anything you can tell me would be nice. I'm an architect and maybe it is not that wise to change from windows to linux, but I'll give it a try.

I've been watching a lot of videos, readings webs, and looking for a good-looking distro, and there are a few that caught my attention, but I'm a little overwhelmed about what people say about some distros. Are Mint, Manjaro, KDE Neon, Deepin (I like a lot how this last one looks) good distros to begin with? Should I avoid any of these or other ones?

And last but not least, thanks if you stop to help me, I appreciate that

Zoom on Linux

I recently got my Pop OS drive running again. I would love to use it for work but Zoom for Linux is missing two features I need for work. I needed the ability to monitor more than 4 screens when sharing my screen and I need to be able to turn in 49 person mode.

Is it worth emulating Zoom for Windows with Wine or Proton to get those features? Any tips for doing so? Or do I have to stick with my Windows machine?

Run a Windows VM on a Linux VPS and access GUI via remote

Anyone setup a Windows VM on a Linux dedicated VPS. I have a Ubuntu 20.04 VPS running on online.net with ssh access. I'd like to remote desktop into a Windows desktop environment running in the cloud.

Is it as simple as setting up a qemu image running windows, setup its remote desktop connect and to automatically log in upon startup, then upload the image to my VPS? I'm keen to run a Theta Edge Node with my idle CPU grunt...

More governor for Linux

I was trying to save battery on laptop the other day and I tried tools like auto-cpu freq and yablo from their github repo but I want happy with how these battery saving tools work and trying to find more tools to save battery that's wen stumbled upon this page on github

http://ajgupta.github.io/android/2015/01/28/CPU-and-GPU-governors/

It list all the governors that are available for android using custom kernels and few of these governors looks really good to save battery like smartappV2 governor so why are they not available in Linux by default. Or is there is way to add this to the Linux kernel
