I kinda don't understand some basic stuff that I did understood on windows like, partitions 🦔

#

okay so, I really don't know what I am looking at

#

since I'm used to "C" "D" "E" that type of stuff

tired schooner
#

that looks to be like drives

sand grotto
#

I got a Kingstone SSD of like 125gb and an SSD M2 of 1TB

tired schooner
#

just doesnt have a letter on it is all

sand grotto
#

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

tired schooner
#

i havent used that disks program much

tired schooner
sand grotto
#

what?

#

probably not

tired schooner
#

steam proton is the magic that allows some windows games to work under linux

#

its in the steam settings

sand grotto
#

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

tired schooner
#

i dont know

sand grotto
tired schooner
#

you may wanna wait and ask someone else about your drive questions

sand grotto
#

what about something else?

tired schooner
#

sure

sand grotto
#

where do the apps I install from the "appstore" thing go

#

I hope they don't go on the linux partition

tired schooner
#

i assume they would be installed on the same drive as linux

sand grotto
#

;-;

tired schooner
#

unsure how to change that

sand grotto
#

I'm assuming that would be the "filesystem" one?

tired schooner
#

yeah

sand grotto
#

since uhm I can't acces the other one

sand grotto
tired schooner
#

thats your ssd it looks like hmmcute

sand grotto
#

yeah it is

tired schooner
#

does it say anything when you try?

sand grotto
#

yes

tired schooner
#

oh put that here

sand grotto
tired schooner
#

yeah another one i dont know

sand grotto
#

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

tired schooner
#

the drives stuff has me lost

sand grotto
#

okie 🦔 can we go to technical stuff?

tired schooner
#

sure

sand grotto
#

what do we use for archive here? since 7zip and winrar are not existent

#

I know wine.rar was a thing

tired schooner
#

it comes installed i forget the naming

sand grotto
#

oh?

tired schooner
#

but you dont need winrar or anything its already installed

sand grotto
#

that's nice

tired schooner
#

yeah

sand grotto
#

what about GPU drivers?

tired schooner
#

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

sand grotto
#

well if it was automatic I think I would've had the app thing...

#

I don't have it "amd adrenaline edition"

tired schooner
#

yeah im not sure about the app thing

sand grotto
#

do you also use amd?

tired schooner
#

no

sand grotto
#

oh...

tired schooner
#

open the driver manager and see if anything shows up

sand grotto
#

nope

#

did that when I installed mint

#

everything is alright it says

tired schooner
#

oh

sand grotto
#

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

tired schooner
#

np

sand grotto
#

do you play Roblox? :))

tired schooner
#

yes you can use Sober for it

sand grotto
#

well I got this thing "vinegar" for it

#

but idk how to install the roblox app to be honest

tired schooner
#

oh yeah so vinegar is for studio only

sand grotto
#

oh

tired schooner
#

i can help you with that

sand grotto
#

hell yeah :D

#

guide me my lord

tired schooner
sand grotto
#

I'm assuming that's a terminal command

tired schooner
#

yeah

sand grotto
#

okie 😄

tired schooner
#

can just press y and hit enter

sand grotto
#

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

tired schooner
#

same

#

that one you'll have to figure out with someone else as i dont know

sand grotto
#

sure ^,^

tired schooner
#

so sober is gonna have more setup once you open it

sand grotto
#

well, it says it's installed

#

but I can't find it anywhere

tired schooner
#

search for it in the start menu thing

sand grotto
#

yeah I did that

tired schooner
#

i wonder

#

have you reboot since you installed mint?

sand grotto
#

twice

#

should I do it again?

tired schooner
#

lets try

sand grotto
#

okie dokie, comming back soon if I don't get stuck in the loggin window again

tired schooner
#

okay

sand grotto
#

I didn't get stuck :D

tired schooner
#

awesome

#

lets see if sober shows up now

sand grotto
#

sober is here

tired schooner
#

awesome

sand grotto
#

should I use automatic or manually?

tired schooner
#

uhhh for what

sand grotto
#

download

tired schooner
#

automatic i guess

#

i guess they changed it since last time

sand grotto
#

seems different?

tired schooner
#

yeah just do the automatic one

sand grotto
#

sure

tired schooner
#

that's great means we might not have to find a valid roblox apk

sand grotto
#

is linux always this complex?

#

I heard mint is closer to a windows like experience

tired schooner
#

i dont think so

sand grotto
#

okay so it installed

#

I'm assuming my ROBLOX is now "sober" ?

tired schooner
#

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

sand grotto
#

oh

#

I'm sure by then I'll understand linux more

tired schooner
#

yeah

sand grotto
#

someone will find a fix eventually and I will be able to fallow that without any extra help

tired schooner
#

so does roblox work

sand grotto
#

seems like it so far :D

tired schooner
#

awesome

sand grotto
#

my cursore seems a bit laggy, it's like this for everyone?

tired schooner
#

i dont remember that

sand grotto
#

the textures seems very JPEG like too

tired schooner
#

or that

sand grotto
#

perhaps the drivers are not installed?

#

welp, at least it works, I'm glad :D

tired schooner
#

yeah more questions for someone else

sand grotto
#

I wonder if microsoft office could work instead of libre office

tired schooner
#

i dont think they do but isnt there a web version

sand grotto
#

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

tired schooner
#

photoshop wont work either but theres really good alternatives

sand grotto
#

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

tired schooner
#

yeah np

sand grotto
#

I shall seek some more help on youtube now, thanks

tired schooner
#

np theres always here too
