#Basic knowledge help?
160 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
okay so, I really don't know what I am looking at
since I'm used to "C" "D" "E" that type of stuff
that looks to be like drives
I got a Kingstone SSD of like 125gb and an SSD M2 of 1TB
just doesnt have a letter on it is all
well yeah but it got weirder when I began exploring
and even worst when I installed a steam game
and "disks" (window's disk manger) is WEIRD
i havent used that disks program much
did you enable steam proton?
steam proton is the magic that allows some windows games to work under linux
its in the steam settings
well the game I isntalled works just fine I don't think that's the problem
the problem is that I really don't know which partition is which to be honest
when I added a partition on steam it was very confusing
it still is, and I don't know how to organize stuff
like... windows comes with all this already done
like where did that middle partition come from?
why does it say /media/beekie
you see i never had multiple drives so i never had to fight with this
i dont know
I just renamed it to "D" and "C" in hopes it'll make everything easier for me
you may wanna wait and ask someone else about your drive questions
what about something else?
sure
where do the apps I install from the "appstore" thing go
I hope they don't go on the linux partition
i assume they would be installed on the same drive as linux
;-;
unsure how to change that
I'm assuming that would be the "filesystem" one?
yeah
since uhm I can't acces the other one
I'm talking about the middle one, I can't access that
thats your ssd it looks like 
yeah it is
does it say anything when you try?
yes
oh put that here
yeah another one i dont know
I'm assuming that would be where linux OS is? like how windows creates a private partition (usually not visible) where it installs itself
like, I think it's this very small partition
the drives stuff has me lost
okie 🦔 can we go to technical stuff?
sure
what do we use for archive here? since 7zip and winrar are not existent
I know wine.rar was a thing
it comes installed i forget the naming
oh?
but you dont need winrar or anything its already installed
that's nice
yeah
what about GPU drivers?
for amd i believe its automatic and you're good to go most times
nvida you'll want to open the driver manager app and install them
well if it was automatic I think I would've had the app thing...
I don't have it "amd adrenaline edition"
yeah im not sure about the app thing
do you also use amd?
no
oh...
open the driver manager and see if anything shows up
oh
but if you say it's preinstalled I'll chose to go with that because it's less of a headache for me
you're helping me a lot, thanks
np
do you play Roblox? :))
yes you can use Sober for it
well I got this thing "vinegar" for it
but idk how to install the roblox app to be honest
oh yeah so vinegar is for studio only
oh
i can help you with that
just open a terminal window and type ```
flatpak install --user https://sober.vinegarhq.org/sober.flatpakref
I'm assuming that's a terminal command
yeah
the command is on their site here https://sober.vinegarhq.org/
okie 😄
the command ask if you're sure you want to install or something like that
can just press y and hit enter
oh I already said yes to everything
but it really torments me that I don't know where it will install itself
I prefer having my SSD hardisk for the OS and my 1TB m2 for games and everything else
but I don't know how to do that since I don't know how to change where stuff installs
sure ^,^
so sober is gonna have more setup once you open it
search for it in the start menu thing
lets try
okie dokie, comming back soon if I don't get stuck in the loggin window again
okay
I didn't get stuck :D
sober is here
awesome
should I use automatic or manually?
uhhh for what
download
seems different?
yeah just do the automatic one
sure
that's great means we might not have to find a valid roblox apk
i dont think so
yep
so sober is an unofficial way of playing roblox under linux
roblox doesnt support linux usually
meaning its possible that in the future sober will quit working
yeah
someone will find a fix eventually and I will be able to fallow that without any extra help
seems like it so far :D
awesome
my cursore seems a bit laggy, it's like this for everyone?
i dont remember that
the textures seems very JPEG like too
or that
yeah more questions for someone else
I wonder if microsoft office could work instead of libre office
i dont think they do but isnt there a web version
you're right I guess I should get used to using web versions
I'm not a fan of libre, I made my cv in it and it was a headache to translate it to word properly
like it wasn't showing correctly
photoshop wont work either but theres really good alternatives
I know anything adobe won't work
well, thank you very much for all of your help and tyring to help me understand some stuff
yeah np
I shall seek some more help on youtube now, thanks
np theres always here too
