#this..functioning codes and terminals...are Frightening Me i wont lie

[sanchoyo]

boooo ive spent like 3 hours trying to install the drivers for the gd usb wifi adapter :/ it installed just fine on this desktop when it was on windows so it cant be a hardware problem i dont think...and the disk HAS a linux version for installation included!! I literally havent had to go to a tech forum and type a question in So Long. this is So Embarrassing. but we will figure it out 😔

so my sister received a MASSIVE ancient desktop computer from our grandfather and she doesnt want it (tiny apartment. big Old Computer. already has laptop/tablets etc) so she gave it to me. and i had the idea that id install games and blender on it (like, heavier programs) and use my laptop for more work related things and keep it lighter (if i can snag a remote job yk...)

but this Big Old Desktop computer. its on windows 7 which. is NOT compatible with the newest version of blender :( (and all the tutorials i need to follow do use the newest versions...) and like. windows 10/11 would cost money to get a product key for (or more time trying to pirate it than I want to spend honestly) ...and since I already have a working laptop I figure its fine if I use the desktop one to fuck around right? nbd if I do smth wrong bc I can fall back on my laptop or do a system wipe on the desktop. so. going to try LINUX for the first time instead of a windows system :3 very excited bc ive wanted to try it forever. penguine time
