I made this for easy use so no typing or terminal. some people like to do thing differently and that’s ok

No worries on vim after being unable to exit and having to Google the answer. thighsocks do look very nice will add it to list of girly things I like to do cooking, sewing, origami and romance comics.

Thanks might make it bigger now. The “$a” very helpful as I might copy url from web pages which may cause a error.

I like fixing things but getting paid to do it is the hard part. I also want to give back to Linux community even if it is small.

I do the same, for the commands I forget. Joplin is also handy for making longer notes.

Thanks looks good

old of image of tiring to fix it

sorry i did tire to update the BIOS but need windows to do it and freedos does not work with UEFI.

lubuntu and ubuntu will not boot freezes after selecting try ubuntu option. debin frezzes near end of installing something to do with Secure Boot file thing and Secure Boot disabled. debin live works but same error installing.

I tired installing and disabled Secure Boot but the install stops and can’t find Secure Boot file thing. It is like Secure Boot is still enabled. Hope I making sense.

Unfortunately this is the case for a lot of the worlds problems
