Checked again and no it doesn't mount automatically my Windows HDs so I'm fine. Thanks for all help.

Virtual machine is not an option for me as I need it for Vulkan development. Tried X-Plane, works fine but didn't like 4k resolution. On Windows 4k is as fast as 2k probably because of Freesync. Need...

Waited 5 minutes or so. Then did a fresh install. So how to install Nvidia RTX 2080? Hopefully it's not a portable usb problem as I need 3D acceleration.

Selected proprietary Nvidia driver (top from the list) and now it doesn't boot anymore. Why, what to do? I cannot access grub menu.

Thanks. Silly me selected wrong HD, now all is fine. Haven't used Ubuntu for years. Any simple solution to not mount my Windows HDs? I'll find out... now on to reinstall stuff on Windows D:.

Yea sudo is the command, haven't use Ubuntu since I was hit by a UEFI Rootkit 3 years ago. Nuke from orbit is not enough...I had to buy a new motherboard from a DIFFERENT vendor! I don't know...

Unzipped two ca. 500MB zip files. Permissions are fine in Windows and also correctly extracted on Mac. But on Ubuntu it sets on both unzips one folder to read only instead of read/write.

I've a external Samsung USB HD 500GB. How to install Ubuntu without any risk to damage the installed Windows on the Desktop HD. I've also a external USB CD Player. Best would be to connect usb...

Thanks I'll try that when I install Ubuntu in some days. If I wouldn't need 3D accelerated Ubuntu, I would go with virtualbox.

I don't think so. Uefi was created by MS. On my last hackintosh install some years ago I needed to disable UEFI. Also my, some years old, macbook uses EFI.

So if I do
bootrec/fixmbr
Could I...

Sounds good. Could you give me a link with 3D acceleration? I'm on Windows 10/Nvidia to install 20.04. Never tried that before, only virtualbox some years ago.
Thanks

Interesting, didn't know that. So using a firefox snap should increase security a lot? I was hacked a year ago with a UEFI rootkit and have the impression via a Firefox bug. (excecuting malicious...

seems weird that some app uses encryption.

Thanks, I feel better… although on any clean system that I've heard those do not appear.
Can I get info about that? I've tried to open those files in some apps without success. If I delete them,...

Hi

Anyone could confirm that? What is that? Thanks

Hi
Why I have after 30min or so, even with booting from live cd, two additional files in the .gnupg folder?
I had that on my old hacked pc, but on a 2 days old new laptop?
Thanks

Hi

thanks

After being hit by a UEFI Rootkit, that's exactly why I'm considering a CB.

@makitso so it downloads all from cloud? Does it take long to load? What about installing large linux apps like x-plane...

Hi, anyone has a Chromebook? I'm thinking about getting one for security reasons. What's holding me back are specs and prices. Newer cb should run Linux apps like X-plane, gcc, Eclipse, java etc.?...
