It seems like I can't even use it anyways, lol. I'm using Linux Mint and the software required to build it is outdated.

Craziest/most "exotic" devices able to run Linux? in c/[email protected]

I once saw someone running Doom on a pregnancy tester, so I'd imagine that it could run Linux as well.

When I shutdown my computer last night, it gave me this error message. It seems to be working fine but should I be considered? in c/[email protected]

Like I said, I'm not having the issue anymore.

Also, I tried to check the smart info but the option is gray-out, is there something I need to do before I can check it?

I did that yesterday and it might have fixed it because I didn't have the issue but I did try multiple things yesterday, so I'm not sure.

I'm not having the issue anymore, I'm not sure what fixed it though as I tried multiple things yesterday.

Also, I'm not using an NVME, I'm actually just using an old laptop hard drive with one of those hard drive cases that basically converts it into an external hard drive.

I'm not concerned about Linux breaking, I'm concerned about the laptop itself. My last laptop stopped being able to boot into any OS or even enter the bios after I was repeatedly restarting it one day and my laptop before that has a problem where for some reason the screen gets dark spots if it's turned on more than once a day. I also have another laptop that has a failing GPU and another that for some reason can't read internal hard drives anymore. In the off chance that Linux does have problems, I am already prepared for that but as I said, I'm more concerned about the laptop. We've had it for over 5 years and we really can't afford a new one.

That's pretty specific, but I guess it's possible.

Oops, anyways it seems to have been found this time. I did reinstall it already but I wont know if it fixed the issue until tonight.

It's probably just paranoia but every laptop I've ever owned has had a problem pertaining to repeatedly turning them off and on again. This laptop is my mom's and I'm just using it because my old one stopped working and I really don't want to break this one too.

I know about and have used apt, I install pretty much everything through the terminal. What I searched for was "how to reinstall libpcre" because I thought that it required a specific method or something due to the fact that it's a system library.

Anyways, it reinstalled it but I wont know if it fixed the issue until tonight.

Ok, so Synaptic Package Manager states that it's installed in the exact location you say that it's supposed to be in but ldd states "No such file or directory". What's going on here?

What is a good way to benchmark test a GPU in Linux? (sopuli.xyz)

Edit: I was able to run some benchmark tests, so I don't need help with this anymore, but after running the tests, I'm pretty sure my computer is having hardware issues. I don't really have any other options, though, so I just have to deal with it.

The computer I was using stopped working and I had to switch to a different computer but despite having a significantly better GPU, games are performing only slightly better. I want to benchmark test the GPU to see if it's a potential hardware problem or if something else is causing a bottleneck.
