Thank you arse assassin

Yes, it’s a specific one. App only.

The authenticator requires you to be in the college’s network to set it up for the first time and I don’t have a laptop.

I have no smartphone and am unable to access any of my college resources or email from home because you need a security app for remote login. I’ve got in trouble a few times for it but idk what I’m supposed to do. I wasn’t able to access my Exam Timetable because of this and had to ask some friends when the exams were because my teachers didn’t know (somehow). It’s very annoying.

Edit:

It also took a few weeks of difficulty to get the free bus pass the college gives out as they only gave it out on the bus pass app, I have a card that you scan, I’ve never had any issues with the card and yet EVERY day people complain about the app not working as you need an internet connection (in an area with dodgy internet) for the app and the app is apparently not very good in other areas. I think people are starting to get jealous of my bus pass card.

ed is better

HOLY SHIT, I can play Spiderman 2, I was not going to get it for this reason! I literally made a blog post about not playing it.

Just a note that there’s an in development fediverse app called ‘sup’ by the creators of pixelfed. It’s not released yet but is going to be encrypted and Open Source. https://mastodon.social/@dansup/113912441928236882

Right? We have to read Shakespeare and Dickens, boring. So far, Foundation has had actually unexpected things happening and it engaging.

Just started reading Foundation, it’s very well written.

Nokia 105, Wish it had qwerty though.

I much prefer physical keyboards and find it difficult to use touchscreen, so a mobile, qwerty keyboard sounds great to me.

VictorMono, has a cool cursive, mono spaced font.

You can always boot a live environment and edit the file from there if anything goes wrong.

Yeah, I agree.

The only things I’d feel guilty pirating are small indie pieces of media.

You should probably be good then, at the moment gaming seems to be the main deterrent for Linux, and yeah Libreoffice is great and works for most people, just doesn’t have some of the more specialist features for some people.

Linux might “just work” but it highly depends on what you use it for, gaming is getting better but is not going to be nearly as good as on Windows and there are some proprietary software that straight up don’t work such as MS Office and the Adobe Suite. However programming is very good on Linux and general office tasks and browsing the web works completely fine.

Taking out the USB should let you boot into Windows without any BIOS configuration as Linux Mint isn’t installed. When you install an Operating System, it gets put onto your internal storage from the USB, but if it hasn’t been installed yet from the USB it shouldn’t ever touch your Windows Install. In BIOS you can change the order that different devices boot if they are present. eg: USB drive then Hard Drive then SSD then DVD. So if you unplug the USB Drive then it should go onto the next device, the one Windows is installed on so that should boot. Unplugging the USB should be totally safe but turn the computer off first, I can answer your questions, I’m happy to help.
