Ive been trying to set up my PC so it can dual boot Ubuntu pretty much all day long and it feels like Im getting nowhere. Im looking at a bunch of different guides and every time I try to follow one of them and download a program, it turns out that I need to download something else first before I can do that. My computer takes forever to download them and then I had to restart it like 10 times. I cant wait to be done with this

best part is when you do everything correctly and it still doesn't work, for no reason

Like some IT thing?
if so don't dual boot
use a virtual machine
it's safer and more ideal for learning

The instructors told us that they wanted everyone to use Macs. Everyone who doesnt have access to a Mac, like me, has to dual boot

Yeah, this is getting weirder. Why not just use a VM?

Only thing I can think of is a possible web development course, like the Odin Project since Linux runs most servers for that

Which is why I shy away from PC gaming. I know how to use a PC but I'm PC illiterate when it comes to how anything works.

I realized how dumb I was ages ago, and just that other people were MUCH MUCH dumber than I was.

Dai Grepher: I was wrong. My entire theory is incorrect. Zero Mission IS a remake of Metroid.
