Nah, bash is fine.

My apologies, it seems we do not have the same definition of proper touchpads, of all the laptop brands in the world, asus and hp are amongst the few that I would consider unsuitable including their touchpads which are the most basic low grade pads i can think of, maybe their more than a grand models are better

you may be surprised to know that crap touch-pads are the majority of touchpads and even moreso in the future since old thinkpads are slowly going away

how dare you criticize smystemD, I spent 20 years having to write startup scripts in assembly with a quill and feather and i can tell you that sistem_d is literally life changing, I stopped drinking an got out of prison ever since arch implemented it

let's forget gnu and praise linux then I guess.

those manufacturer either have to charge thouthands, or use the cheapest possible hardware they can find to be interesting compared to the thinkpads of old, which can take a punch or two and get replacement parts

yep, iirc it started in windows 8 where they would suggest third party apps directly in your app menu back in 2013

at some point in my computer life, I realised that with most new window I oppened, I was dragging them to the side to tile them next to the other in order to not lost track of either the content of the other window like a webpage or a running script or to more easily drag stuff between them without having to move the first window, now behind the new one, it wasn't that annoying or time consuming since I'm pretty fast with a mouse, but it did require me to focus on the positioning of the window to get going, tiling completely removed that aspect, no I only interract with the window to resize them or change screen, which is far less often that I use to move them around to un-obstruct them

the main advantage of snapshots is how fast it happen, in two reboots with little to no wait time you can get your system back

f12 iirc, and it's normal mode

in the bios config menu, you can access it when you start up your computer and spam the appropriate keyboard key, you can find out which key it is by the brand of the computer, or the brand of the motherboard if you assembled the pc yourself, then inside the bios config menu you will find the secure boot option.

for example, on my computer, I need to turn it off completely, then press the power button and quickly press the f2 key repeatidely, then instead of launching my operating system, it launches the bios config menu, and in that menu, under the "boot" section, I find a line called "secure boot" which I can enable and disable, once i've done so, I press f10 to save the configs I made, and boot my system where I want

it shouldn't reset your device, secure boot is only there to prevent someone from doing exactly what you're trying to do, booting another os on the computer, that said, if you're going to mess around with a linux installer without full knowledge of what you are doing you should absolutely back up your entire drive first, the easiest method being phisically removing the hard drive and putting another one in
