I have terrible but defined habits for my ROMs. I use the same folder structure for all of them.
./[platform]/[game]/[game].zip
./[platform]/[game]/[game].iso
./[platform]/[game]/saves/…
If it’s a series, using Pokémon as an example, I also have:
./Pokemon/Backups/[game].zip
./Pokemon/[generation]/[game]/[game].iso
So it’s not that good of a backup, mainly there in case the iso corrupts, but I think it’s better than nothing.
I just had to go and check because I got my 2 year subscription for ~$0.75 a month ($1 CAD) back in April. When I check their pricing page while not logged in, it shows me that I can save 50% on my first year and pay $6 monthly.
As a Jr. Full Stack, I’m in this picture and I don’t like it.
I work with Java. And I’m definitely ‘rose tinted glasses’ because I also learned to code in Java. But I’m the opposite.
Do you use Java at home?
Fuck no, I want to stay sane.
Oh I’ve been trying. He’s tech adverse in general, so the concept of open source software scares him because it means trusting others with regards to tech.
It also doesn’t help that my dad still isn’t filly convinced Linux isn’t a virus/dangerous to my PC.
God damn it, I hate this hacker crap!
I hate how it seems to be a priority of our government to support Israel and that there isn’t a single party that we could elect who would actually put an end to that support.
I hate that it lines up so perfectly, and then is missing a single syllable following “linux”.
It did add an international arms market, where you can trade excess things for civs.
As someone who also installed Mint on a Lenovo, I feel your pain. The only difference is that I was aware of the BIOS setting before I did the install because I’d read some forum posts preparing myself for the install.
Mee too, Gale.
I got a Mint laptop recently, and I’ve been loving it (even though I don’t need it to do much).
A really good way to do linux is to play around and break things, but to have a backup you can restore from.
I don’t know about other distros specifically, but Mint comes shipped with Timeshift, which is easily configurable and can be set up to include your home directory. Make a backup on an external drive every now and again so that if you break everything, you only lose a bit of work instead of all of it.
Search engines are your friend. If you want to do something, look it up first (ex/ “How do I [x] on linux”) and read some of the answers. Don’t just go with the first option you see, and if it looks decent but you don’t understand it try looking up the commands it uses to find some documentation.
Learning linux isn’t something you can do as passively as you can with Windows, so take time to really try and learn things you’re looking to do.
And a good rule of thumb is that if you think your system should be able to do something, it probably can.
