The alphabet for installers: C:\
We leave drives A and B reserved in honor and remembrance of floppy disks. Think of it as reserving a famous sports player’s number. Those things could hold so much data that we still use a floppy disk as the icon for saving things today.
When I saw this I realized there is a whole generation that will never know why there are no A or B drives.
As an IT worker, there are people already in the workforce who have literally no clue what a “drive” is because they don’t use traditional computers anymore. My youngest brother is a freshman in college; I offered to get him a laptop before he left as a bday present and he told me no. Apparently it’s all about iPads now.
A new gen iPad with a keyboard is probably a more useful and higher spec-ed laptop than the MacBook I had in college 12 years ago so he might not be wrong there. Although I would never say no to a free laptop that I can use to install all the weirdest Linux distros I can find lmao
Have you heard of our lord and saviour, gnu/Linux?
Yes. I was actively trying to get gaming on Linux. I’m currently stuck on finding out how the fans work and how I can cap the framerate. Until either one is solved, I’m stuck on Windows, because throwing out 550 fps with fans that don’t really care about fanning is not something I’m willing to do.
Have you tried Nvidia-settings (should have fan controls and screen refresh rates)
