like how tf am I supposed to know. No, he doesn’t even show me the computer on so I can check task manager or anything. Forgot the charger in another state. He just wants to know why his, currently dead, computer runs slow.
It could literally be anything causing this. Too much stuff running in the background, maybe one task is super intense, overheating, storage is full, idfk. I hate being known as the tech person.
apt-get upgrade doesn’t handle package deletes and isn’t actually what you’re looking for. Here’s your fix:
sudo apt --fix-broken installsudo apt full-upgradeTo be honest if you don’t know what you’re doing well enough to have a specific reason you need to do manual package management, you don’t need to bother using apt or the command line at all. Just go through Software & Updates or the Ubuntu store for all your updates. The benefit of Linux is that you just don’t need to fuck around with all this stuff manually. Just install steam and play games, it’ll handle everything by itself. :)
The “fix broken install” thing is a joke right? There’s no way that’s an actual command.
I’m trying to do the apt-get upgrade thingy because I wanna stall some specific GCC eventually to program microcontrollers (I’m a low level nerd, C for microcontrollers, that’s why my head explodes with such big commands doing 17366272 lines of code)
–fix-broken is a real flag. You can also use -f
You could probably get that stuff installed through the snap store. I’m constantly surprised by how many things have a snap, flatpak, or .deb that works perfectly.
How to make Linux work: “fix broken”. Truly peak command. Thank you, I’ll try that later!
Surely I can’t, it’s a weird git, check it out if you want it’s called “ch32fun” by “cnlohr”
I’m not entirely sure, but could this snap be helpful?
That might be terminal only, yeah.
Yeah, looks cool, I’ll look into it <3 thanks so much!
Update: ended up killing Ubuntu altogether and installing Linux Mint. Seems to work flawlessly so far, thank you for your support <3
Mint is really good!
Lately, I’ve been recommending Bazzite as well, it’s really convenient to just be completely hands off and just be able to use the computer as a tool
I heard of bazzite, isn’t it for gaming or something?
Bazzite is intended to be a completely turnkey Linux solution for running applications and games. It’s lower maintenance than any even remotely recent version of Windows.
Install OS, install steam, click play, done. But it should also be just as turnkey when running LibreOffice, DaVinci Resolve, GIMP, or REAPER.
