today i was just surfing google and wondered to my self, just for fun, if my desktop PC's are either UEFI or BIOS , found this to copy and paste int toe terminal , without the quotes

"  /sys/firmware/efi "

if a desktop PC is NOT UEFI , it will say something like " bash: /sys/firmware/efi: No such file or directory" , which would mean that both of my desktop PC's are bios.

am i right ?. just asking to make sure, i know how to get into and look another way , just wanted a quicker way to tell, ha ha . i like playing with the linux terminal ......

First time installing Linux Lite alongside Windows 10. Everything goes well until I reboot then it boots directly Windows 10. I have disabled SecureBoot and changed boot to allow both legacy and UEFI. When I installed Linux Lite, I picked /dev/sda1 as the boot device. I switched Windows Boot Manager to the bottom of the options to choose boot from but that didn't work. I don't see an 'ubuntu' option when I sue bcdedit. I tried EasyBCD 2.4 to try and repair my boot but it seems that it's a commercial product now. I'm stuck. Can you help me move a little? Cheers

Hello,

I am working on a word file, only text (no tables, no pics), unilingual (english), of 75 pages that includes 300 footnotes.
On Win7 (still alive and kicking) installed on a laptop with just 4 Go RAM, it functions smoothly. At my university library, on a machine which has win 10 and 8 Go of RAM, it would slow down and get stuck for a few seconds during automatic saving, and on Libre office on LL, it took about 60 secunds to open the file to start with (does not happen on either win7 or win10 as used with the machines described above).
Any suggestion for the future and how to be able to get rid of Win7 ?

Hi, been away for awhile, now have need for some help again.

My 8400GS card went bad recently. As a result, I am using for now the original onboard graphics for this 10 yr old Gateway GT5656 desktop. The "card" is GeForce 6150SE nForce 430. I have been experimenting with 32 bit linux systems, trying to find one that will work with this old system.

Originally, the computer was Vista 32 bit. It is 64bit capable, and I did have it 64 bit until the add-in card died. My logic is that since the computer was kind of designed for 32 bit, if I use the onboard graphics, 32 bit may work better.

On two other Linux systems (Zorin Lite and LXLE), I occasionally have display freezes, necessitating a reboot. I tried to install the NVIDIA drivers 304.xxx, but could not, on those systems. I figure they are too "new." So I installed Linux Lite 3.0, thinking an older system might allow me to install the drivers. It did, I have the 304 driver working now on Lite 3.0.

So, if I try Lite 4.0, would I run the risk of the Nvidia drivers not working, because the system/kernel is too new? (Why not just get a new add-in card? I'm trying to avoid putting money into this old beast, if possible). Also, what is your opinion re: Nouveau vs. Nvidia drivers, in a situation like this? Which are likely to work better?

Thanks,

Mike

Hello!

I have used LibreOffice for some time but I don't like it. I used WPS Office it looks modern & very similar to MS Office which I'm comfortable with. So I want to install WPS Office, make it default for opening office files (doc, xls, ppt) & uninstall LibreOffice. Is it okay to delete LibreOffice?

Thanks for your help! 

Choppy Change switched on Feather and got a Sunrise. This is true. I expected to get the Windows 10 desktop but got the lovely sunrise. I made the Choppy Change for Feather yesterday out of the best wallpapers including Windows 10 first in the folder. But I had set random at 2 secs.

I call it Choppy Change as I have no idea what to call it. I am Gimping 4 of the best wallpapers as a single wallpaper and will add that to the wallpaper folder. Don't know what feather will show tomorrow morning.

What do you call Choppy Change? I have wrote how you can do it so let me know if you want to see how?
