  • The POSIFLEX issue might have to do with MBR. On your final linux installation, your partition table should NOT be using gpt but mbr and that might solve the issues.

    It has to do with older BIOS not recognising gpt and henceforth being unable to boot from the disk.

    N.B. you might have to configure your GRUB/systemd loader accordingly.



  • I had the same problem with a MSI GF65.

    I had an Intel AX201, which is basically the same device as the intel killer wifi card on the GS65.

    I battled with the issue for a very long time. It came from Windows and only from Windows. You have to disable fastboot and there is a way to shut it down “fully” which you have to do.

    If that does not solve it your only way out of it is to reinstall Windows.










  • Your mint setup is fine to start learning, as others have said. Start with something simple : python, javascript, …

    For programming, there are tools available on every OS. However I have found that those tools are easier to use on Linux. Okayish to use on MacOS. Programming with Windows, on the other hand is, well… it certainly is possible, but… see for yourself.

    For instituitions it varies depending on each one of them. Usually they have their own tools because it is easier to organise a class if everyone works on the same IDE but if you get good enough it does Not matter what is your OS/IDE of choice. VSCodium is nice but anything like kwrite/kate/gedit/geany is good enough. Hell, even nano can get the job done.


  • I have found that, despite being more recent, linux kernel 6.1 LTS works better with a core2duo than WinXP or Win7.

    However, when using a DE, I cannot use KDE or GNOME on a 2GB RAM computer. It is simply not enough. On base, it uses around 1.6GB which is almost 80%. But XFCE works okayish.

    On a 4GB+ RAM PC, it works flawlessly. Whether it is an older or modern CPU.

    While the point of obsolescence stands, it is not enough. For example I have used a GSI android 12 on an huawei android 8 phone. It has worked better than the android 8 version.

    But… 2GB of RAM is not enough to accomodate a modern android experience, on that he is right. If you want Android 12/13/14 you might want to have at the very least 4GB of RAM. Swap spaces help but are not enough.
