That’s a good point. I haven’t cooked anything with apple that could go soggy for years, so I hadn’t thought of that. Pulled pork and apple pizza is sounding nice though :)

Why is apple a bad idea? Apple with pork and cheese is delicious :)
Back in the forum days it was the wink 😉
Thanks for replying :)
I managed to get it working with the answers from @Max_P@lemmy.max-p.me and this link:
https://www.zdnet.com/article/how-to-permanently-mount-a-drive-in-linux-and-why-you-should/
I must have been testing it when you answered :)
I’ve got them up and running, and working for both users, thank you :)
That’s brilliant, thank you :)
Usually
/mnt/whatever
for static mounts and/media/whatever
for removable mounts (those appear as drives in file managers, whereas /mnt doesn’t).
Just to check, if I mount the drives under /media, will that still treat them as removable, or will they appear as permanent drives?
Ext4 everywhere.
Linux is obviously very good, but you are right, we give Linux a pass sometimes because we ‘build’ it. We tend to overlook its flaws because we want it to be better than the competition.
I’ve recently had an upgrade fail to the point of a reinstall, a folder that I can’t share between two users on the same laptop, and shutdown buttons on two computers that disappeared. If those problems happened on Windows, I’d be really annoyed, but because they happened on Linux, I just fixed them and carried on.
I have nothing to add but Cartman

I’m feeling this one today. I had to ride about 25 miles to an appointment this morning, but as I pulled onto the main road, a 70 mph dual carriageway, I realised that I had forgotten my earplugs. It’s been about an hour, and my ears still don’t feel right.
I’m Welsh, and my wife is a Welsh speaker, and we both missed that one 🙈🤣
I can’t comment on how many documents you have, but there’s a free version of Office 365
Have you tried the online version of MS Office? I’m not sure, but I think there’s a free version. Depending on the file, you might be able to convert it to another format, then use a FOSS tool going forwards.
I commented on the last post about this, the three stars are difficult to make out on a small screen, they look like a blurry capital A. On top of that, it’s apparently used in astronomy to represent clusters of stars, like a constellation.
The whole point of this campaign appears to be to replace a unique symbol with one that’s already in use and is hard to read at small sizes 🤷🏻♂️
From the two photos you’ve posted, it looks like there’s a little bit of the grooves left in the top of the screw, but not enough for your screwdriver to grip.
Try the rubber band trick first, mainly because it doesn’t cost you anything other than a rubber band to try. The combination of the little bits of the grooves and the grip from the band might do it.
If it doesn’t, a sacrificial screwdriver might work. You basically need to file off the pointy tip of the screwdriver until it can reach what’s left of the grooves, and unscrew it with a bit of downward pressure.
Good luck 👍
They don’t shove them to the side, they put the new kidney in the front 👍
Apologies, yes, I did misunderstand you.
I got VMware to recognise the partition, but it couldn’t boot it. Everything I found said that the distro needed to be on a separate drive with its own boot partition. I found threads saying that VirtualBox couldn’t do it either, but I’d be happy to be wrong :)
I’m not at my computer now, so won’t get a chance to try it for at least a few hours.
Thanks for the link and the information :)
From what I can tell, they would both need their own boot partition, which is where I’m stuck. My Windows and Mint installations share a boot partition, and it causes problems for this.
I know that it’s not very practical, for most people, but imagine having to use Windows for work or a specific game, and still being able to access your distro as normal. It could be handy for a small niche, and felt like an interesting challenge :)
You might be misunderstanding what I want to do. I want to boot my existing Mint partition as a VM under Windows, not make a new VM with its own drive.
From what I can tell, it might be possible if the distro is on its own drive with its own boot partition, but my Mint installation is on a partition on the same drive as Windows, and they share the same boot partition.
I can’t decide if that would be too sweet with the apple sauce base. That might have to be an experiment :)
