Are these laptops provided by the faculty?

In any case I do not mind so much the “I should try to fix this on my own first”. If it’s your own device and accept the risks/consequences. But if it is a work/university provided laptop then it makes no sense to attempt to fix it on one’s own.

I can feel your pain trying to fix/repair something you have to figure out what kind of stupid stuff was done to the device.

ah well, then that is them being stubborn and being unable to troubleshoot.

People who don’t read error messages or do not take the time to see what is going on and just come to the technician/mechanic/doctor saying “it doesn’t work” or some half-assed hypothesis piss me off so bad.

I know that at some point we all do a little of this in our lifes, but some people don’t seem to be able to read one goddamn paragraph ever.

oh, that is the cartoonist from Exploding Kittens. I’ll add that to my bookmarks.

right? what the hell?

lol, you can just set it up to keep the latest snapshots only.

(noob here)

Great, thank you!

Ah, great then. I meant to set up a swap partition (and its size), and all that. I just wanted to know how could one do it because I want to teach my family to hibernate the computer instead of regular suspend on their computers. I’ll look it up, thanks!

I guess so, but can one set it up from the installer? Asking geniunely.

My brother jokes about this referring to me, but lately he has been noticing the power of Linux and FOSS, he switched to Lichess from Chess.com and immediately noticed the benefits and how the are totally worth the downsides.

He also noticed how quick my system is, and how cool is that I can hibernate my laptop.

I just hope my efforts make them all switch (at least their personal computers) to Linux at some point.
