It's just a simple cat command to let you know if you're using a spinning rust storage device or a new-fangled SSD. https://linux-tips.us/is-your-storage-drive-an-ssd-or-an-hdd/ It will not tell you if your SSD is an NVMe. There are other tools for that.

This.

You have to install it before you can run it... So, it's there when you install Resources. I like it as a resource monitor. I might cover a couple of other system monitors, both GUI and terminal.

The link is fixed. You follow the steps in the first article. That installs PIP. Technically, the second article isn't required but it'd mean using awkward commands - so then you follow the second article. Finally, you just install this as a Python package with PIP. You'd be installing this...

https://linux-tips.us/install-pythons-pip/ https://linux-tips.us/install-pythons-pip-part-two/ Then you simply install it with this command: pip install PyGPT I suspect it's going to be a lot of data and take some time to install but I haven't tested this. But, you simply install PIP (and...

If you're using a desktop Linux, you almost certainly already have a GUI system resource monitor. Well, that's okay. There are more of them out there and you have a choice. In fact, there are all sorts of system monitors - including CLI system resource monitors. Well, today I show you a new...

The same things happen when you (properly) shut down your computer. The applications are closed gracefully and the CPU is powered down. The halt command, by itself and with no flags, stops at that point. Where a shutdown command will issue an ACPI (power) shutdown command along with the graceful...

You use Mint, correct? Try this... Open your file manager and find a .pdf file. Right click on it, and choose 'open with'. Pick your application and then set it as the default before proceeding. It should look like that. If I pick a different application that button becomes clickable. I'm...

With any luck, we'll find out.

Hmm... How does this relate to 'Getting Started'?

All good. I figure equivalent CPUs will hit the market eventually, possibly ARM CPUs. Right now, I just can't find motivation to buy new devices. Things are 'fast enough' for me. In fact, the last system I purchased was a cheap refurb just to see if I could live with it. Sure enough, it's...

It should be blazingly fast.

A reference also likely lost on those not from America.

There's also this, should you wish to keep Image Magick installed: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/226857/set-default-pdf-reader Change the Evince to match. I'd think it's libreoffice --writer but I'm not 100% certain. (This is only if you wish to keep Image Magick installed - which...

I assume this is one of the new Macs with the M1, M2, or M3 CPU? As much as I like the hardware, Apple is so anti-repair that I probably won't support them. Sure, I wasn't going to repair anything anyhow, but I don't really like how they've made it impossible to repair and upgrade their hardware.

I just wanted to cover the 'halt' command. So, I did. There isn't much to it. So, it's intentionally short. I could have made is longer but I didn't see a reason to do so. https://linux-tips.us/short-the-halt-command/ Enjoy! Also, don't halt your computer unless you really want to.

In many jurisdictions, you have to be a licensed lawyer to charge for legal advice - which is what you'd be doing. You'll have to check your local regulations, but it's a pretty common requirement. Lawyer, like engineer, is a protected term. So, you can't just say you're a lawyer.

Yup. They're pretty large and take a while to update on slower connections. Fortunately, for many people, storage space is cheap.

There's probably some convoluted method that you shouldn't need. I mean, you can make it complicated with some sort of find command, but that's not going to change anything. Is the command not working, or something like that? You can also (probably) use your GUI file manager. Just look for...

I don't want to be too descriptive but much of our system is automated. So, it takes a lot less manual action to deal with spam these days. We get a whole lot of people trying to spam the site. Fortunately, a bunch is weeded out with automation. We used to have to do quite a bit more 'work' to...
