  • Do you invade your banished island ? Ask in history who where send to colonise this lands ?

    USA need his own popular revolution, until then, they will be killed by a system they are proud and happy to give their lives for. If you never fought for your rights, you can’t understand how precious they are.

    Apparently nowadays, many countries are making kings and queens, to lazy to take care of the system which is taking shape. And at the very end, everyone will lose.


  • Hi, I didn’t see the answer if you only have your pc and no other big storage :
    If you still have the installation usb or recreate one. Boot on it then you open gparted with that you remove the two partition off windows, the main with the system and the recovery one (if there is) but don’t touch the first or last partition esp if it exits. Then you can expand the partitions to get the free space. Extend to the right is fast but extend to the left can be really slow and prone to failures.
    I case you Linux partition are all on the right you can also create new main partition, do the install of the linux on this one, then reboot on the USB, move the user and configuration files on the new system, delete old installation partitions, then extend the new install to take the full drive.
    There is commands to remove the old esp entries I don’t remember yet.
    This can take few hours so be patient.

    The other option with a backup (dd) of the main partition is obviously safer but take nearly the same amount of time and need an external drive.



  • This joke is not feasible in French.

    The word to translate “what” in a sentence is “quoi”, but for this question we’ll use the contraction “que + est + ce” (that + is + it) -> “Qu’est-ce qui commence par un W et termine par un T ?”.

    So we may say Q and E but caused by the contraction of the 2 E it doesn’t end with a E in this sentence anymore.

    Another way to say it, more literarily “Quel mot commence…” (what word starts…) but it breaks the affirmative way of reading.

    To approach the English way : “Quoi commence par un Q et termine par un I.”. Some child would fall into the question trap but no adult due to the fact that it’s not a proper interrogative word, the questions you can do with “quoi” are : “quoi?” (what?), “De quoi tu parles ?” (what are you talking about?) and "À quoi tu penses ? " (What are you thinking about?).


  • Gentoo obviously :
    To install, easy just get this iso, with no GUI, then whip your hard drive, create partition, copy the Linux core, config your core based on the hardware technical details of every components you have and will use, compile it, add extra core drivers, compile them, add all the software you’ll use to get a GUI (Desktop environment), compile them,. Now you can finally restart without usb stick! Add all the software, configure and compile them. And for every update of every software you may check the details to be sure it doesn’t break your config.
    Easy no? It just took you a month to get all the steps right!




  • Most of the “software that runs only on Windows” runs perfectly on Linux with wine, including the installation software, and the integration into the app launcher on all of the Linux distribution that I know.

    For a widow manager, I don’t use one, i have many virtual desktop and as it’s smoother than in Windows, I use only that (i don’t remember how virtual desktop works on ubuntu)

    Première run really badly in VM, and run it with wine is highly messy, do to poorly designed Windows install soft and plenty of missing dependencies, there are linux alternatives that do nearly the same job : KDEnLive, Shotcut and Openshot.

    That all I can tell for now, I hope it will help you a bit. Ps: try other linux distribution before doing an installation to find the desktop manager that you prefer.
