How to make apt install skip invalid packages?

Hi, when I run sudo apt install, if I have typed several packages and some is not found or typed incorrectly, apt skips the whole installation process. How do I make apt install only valid packages while skipping the invalid ones instead of aborting the whole installation process? I'm running Linux Mint Debbie.

are Nvidia 1660ti drivers any good? does an egpu work on linux?

I have been using Linux for the past year now, and I haven't been happier with a computer, but for the past 3 months or so I have been learning Minecraft PVP, and suffice to say I really like it! but I have been using Linux on my laptop with internal graphics and hasn't had the hassle to install drivers (since I am a student and I don't have a pc) I recently tore down a computer for my brother to upgrade it and I got a 1660ti since he doesn't use it anymore. I already got a razer thunderbolt GPU enclosure lying around from a project I was working on. so I want to make a little Minecraft pvp den using these parts and of course Linux! but I have some doubts, I have heard that Nvidia drivers for Linux aren't that bad but could be better. I wanted to buy an AMD card after selling the 1660 ti but as the world is screwed right now I will have to make it work with what I have, even though I enabled thunderbolt in my system I just want to clarify if egpus will work or not. and I also run an OpenBSD, and kali Linux VM using KVM and I would like to use passthrough to enable it on my kali VM if possible since it's getting pretty chonky and is not as smooth as i would like it. (sorry for my bad English I'm Japanese)

Or create an alias: alias screenshot='xwd -root | convert xwd:- png:- > screenshot.png'

## Commands:

xwd: dumps an x11 window (the root window in this case).

convert: converts between image formats (xwd to png).

What made you choose Linux?

Firstly let me share my story, i moved from Windows 10 for many reasons.

1: It's intrusive

2: It's bloated

3: It's slow to open programs, boot, reboot, shut down, and other stuff, every process takes some time while Linux is blazing fast.

4: It's unstable, past september my laptop started to freeze for no reason, it would freeze for a few seconds then turn back to normal, then i rebooted and it froze completely for an hour forcing me to do a hard shutdown then my laptop wouldn't power on, the blue led was blinking instead of static and the screen was completely black, it was still in warranty so i called tech support and sent it to repair through the mail, 2 weeks later it came back working, no parts were replaced which means it wasn't a hardware issue, they only reinstalled Windows 10 and nothing more.

5: The UI is extremely confusing

6: Bloated start menu (I didn't ask Microsoft to put Candy Crush in my start menu!!!)

After my laptop came from repair, i've waited for the warranty to expire then i installed Manjaro KDE, used it for 4 months and it was pretty solid and stable, then a while ago i moved to Kubuntu, i choose Kubuntu because i love Ubuntu's stability and ease of use but i don't like GNOME, i love KDE Plasma and i wouldn't ever replace it with anything else, i use Linux manly for gaming, most of my games work pretty fine thanks to Steam's Proton and Lutris, i'm using Xanmod kernel and it's pretty great, it's fast, smooth, responsive, and stable, Xanmod feels much smoother than the generic kernel (Probably due to the many performance tweaks plus it's based on kernel 5.10 which had some nice optimizations), while my Windows 10 broke in just 4 months, my Linux didn't break in 5 months, i haven't had any issues so far and i don't think i'm ever going back to Windows.

Now going back to the question, why did you choose Linux? Where you a Mac OS or Windows user previously? What distro and DE do you use and why? If you came from Windows 10 what is it that made you move to Linux?

Kali Linux question

Hi, I'm a college student and I attended a meeting about cybersecurity and I was suggested to try using Kali Linux and just experimenting. So I noticed I'm connected to a random wired connection, what exactly is that? I'm using VirtualBox and I don't see an option to connect to my WiFi. So I tried experimenting with WireShark, is it only capturing data on Kali? Cause nothing was coming up till I opened the browser but even when I closed it, I get data. Thanks for the help, just two questions

How hard is it to make linux versions of software?

Hi, noobish question: but I'm trying to understand the problems of making a Linux version from a dev's perspective. I'm only a novice programmer but from what I've done you have a compiler for your language and OS and that does most of the work. Take the source code into the right compiler and it works. I assume this doesn't scale for more complex programs, but I'm wondering why. Is it the file system? Shell? Drivers? All of the above or something else? I.e. if you had the source code to insert popular application here how hard would it be to make a Linux version?
(Thanks, I couldn't find good info on google)

Is linux the answer?

I have an old 2-in-1 which I’ve used as a YouTube/ web surfing machine but it’s gotten too old and slow with windows 10, I have been thinking about installing some version of linux since it might be faster.

I have a couple of problems though.
1-I know nothing about software installation.
2-The device only has 1 usb 2.0 on the keyboard which is wobbly and dangerously unstable, Idk if I could use a micro SD card as a boot drive.

The device comes with intel’s flagship chip, the atom z3735f with a whopping 2 gigs of ram & 32 gigs of emmc storage, I don’t plan on using the keyboard at all if you’re wondering.

These are the device: https://www.lifedigital.com/product/zedbook/

Trying to reach out someone to talk about RAID to get comfortable with the topic and land a job as a Python dev/tester

I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to post this!

Ok, I'm waiting on the date of the third and last interview to land a job as a Python dev/code-tester. The team leader I will be working with and I got along really well from the beginning and he told me something like "I know you don't have any formal experience and I wouldn't like you not to be considered just because of that, I need you to study about RAID so our client approves your application even if you don't have any experience!" and that's what I did!

I've been reading, writing notes, watching YT videos, etc about RAID. I would really like to talk with someone about this in order to fix ideas, expectations, best practices, etc. Problem is that I come from a pure-math background, so none of my friends really know anything but mathematics.

I appreciate any type of exchange related to RAID and/or software testing. I'll dm you my discord if you're interested. If you think I can post this on a different subreddit, feel free to suggest!

Thanks a lot for this brilliant community btw :)

Which hardware needs Linux driver support the most?

Just out of curiosity, which hardware needs Linux support the most? So mostly what sort of stuff is most commonly used/essential that is without a driver or without the best-functioning driver?

Are drivers usually implemented as kernel modules? Where could one start trying to write a driver?

Reddit Rumours - Slackware is Dead, Long Live Slack

It's pretty ironic how many posts have shown up on the webz asking is the oldest surviving true Linux Distro has gone the way of the Dodo when it isn't even an Ichthyosaur ;) I mean it is kinda understandable that some peeps wonder since it is basically controlled by one awesome coder instead of a committee of MBAs but see for yourself and get rewarded at the same time.

Go Here ===>> https://download.liveslak.org/latest/ and peruse the 8 variants of just the Live Edition (NOTE THE DATES) which will answer the exaggerated claims of it's demise, but better, try it out on a USB stick.

It's not a glorified GUI inmstaller. It's a full OpSys with persistence in 8 variants (mostly DE choices) but The Biggie, 4+GB, is a fire breathing but serious tool. It boots on almost anything, legacy or UEFI, and most assuredly give even a half hour exploring all the apps and tools, will be in your tool kit to fix just about any issue, deep or shallow.

​

It's worth a look at the very least. As Richard Pryor's "Mudbone" said (deeply influencing every comedian since) "Old fool? You don't get to be old bein' no fool. A lotta young smartass deader than shit!" We could easily substitute "distros".
