That fixed it! Thanks!

I just installed the newest version of Ubuntu Mate 16.10. It will not allow me to change the homepage. I just get stuck with the https://start.ubuntu-mate.org/. I do NOT want this. I previously was...

Actually, some people there have working mods for linux, just not via the official modmaker.

Dang. It seems their web design is lacking. It won't even let me create a new account so I can ask the...

Where do I put mods for the Witcher 2 game on Ubuntu? It's really easy to find on Windows, but the steam stuff seems to be spread out all over the place on linux.

Try going into System - Preferences - Hardware - Sound. Then go to Output and make sure your speakers/headphones are selected.

Went out and bought some DVD-Rs. Using one of them, I got Ubuntu to install. Have no idea why it won't work using a USB.

Actually, it doesn't give me any options like that.

Ah well, I'm not sure why the Linux devs have been making so many poor decisions the last few years. From basic stuff like this to the disasters...

It goes black before I get any real options. Right after I select Ubuntu...

How do I use nomodset while on Win7?

Currently on Win7-64. Tried using all of the recommended USB bootable programs to make a USB drive work to install the latest Ubuntu-Mate 64 bit.

The best result I've gotten is the option to load...

I dropped main Ubuntu when Unity was first released. Has it improved since then?

Can I hide it/have it shrink off screen while not in use?
Can I move it to the bottom like most other docks?
...

I use torrent, as it's the fastest download speed, especially right after release.

Why'd you list X Files, then? ;)

I switched to Xubuntu and I'm very happy with it.

You have no idea what you are talking about.

No major surprises. I think anyone paying attention knows that Linux is basically dead on the desktop, especially after the UI remakes over the last few years by programmers who have zero concept of...

Many computer languages used to be very popular, then get replaced by something newer that can do something different. Object oriented programming changed the field quite a bit 15-20 years ago.

I...

It is extremely annoying. I think too many mods have spent too much time here and just don't want to be bothered by anything.

Do I even want to ask why?

I think you have overfocused on the word upgrade. I took the OP to mean that every 6 months comes a whole new OS. Even if this involves a clean install (which I always do and highly recommend to...

If you're going into IT and are focused on Linux, I'd recommend learning BASH, Perl, and C.

I think most of the Gnome 3 hate is for the Shell, which is truly awful. The rest of it is ok.

KDE4 was just awful all the way around. It crashed if you looked at it wrong. It still crashes way...

Problem is if you want newer versions of many programs you have to update the whole OS. This is the biggest weakness of Ubuntu and many other linux distros.

Looks like the fix made it into Ubuntu! Good job, devs! :popcorn:

I recommend xfce via xubuntu. It's great!
