To be honest you are in the right place already. If you take the first step and install Mint, Fedora Kinoite or something similar on the laptop, there are many people here who would be willing to offer you support for free here on Lemmy.

You won’t find a lot of support IRW/IRL though as many companies are still sleep-walking in the Windows world.

You will however need to take some steps for yourself. If you’re willing to get over that first hurdle, you will almost certainly find someone here to help you with any problem you have (including installation).

Does anyone know what the (gifenv) means or where it comes from?

I can’t tell if you’re trolling or just completely uninformed. Which is it?

Have you tried not coming home from school?

This is links, running on the Terminal on my phone.

Curl is very low level. It will let you download things but won’t display it to you in any really useful way. It is intended to be used by other applications.

If you’re looking to use it to browse websites using the terminal, you need something that uses curl in the background but displays anything you download to you in a sensible way. Two such applications are lynx and links2. These will run in your terminal.

However you may not have much fun browsing facebook or anything modern. A lot of websites require javascript, which lynx or links2 will have trouble understanding.

Ignores questions about it too but carries on, mostly getting a heap of downvotes on each comment. Just leave them to it- it could be some sort of mental issue.

Will you please quit it with the þ junk? It’ll take an AI about two seconds to ignore or correct you. You’re not poisoning any algorithms.

Why should you need to? That’s my beef with it. It means they don’t respect you enough to give you something good in the first place and hope 99% won’t bother.

Shots fired! Shots fired!

Good choice! A tip: many media apps are better being installed as a Flatpak and not from the Fedora rpms. Many Fedora packages, such as VLC, are missing specific codecs and the Flatpak versions can generally play everything.

Sounds like a skill issue.

Hello. Not really a tutorial but a bit of advice: get a new internal SSD from Amazon and install it on that, leaving your Windows drive alone. It is a lot less of a headache if Linux is on a dedicated drive.

That was clear when they made Bootstrap.

Is this AI? Feels like a slop page.

They did it with whips, Rimmer. Massive, massive whips.

This is the correct answer. Pig-headed arrogance is why this cancer of a framework exists.

I worry when this happens about being locked in to older versions of apps, especially ones like browsers that themselves aren’t getting updates. It will only need one dedicated soul to find a remote code execution exploit for one of these pieces of software and you may not even need to click malware to get infected. Visiting a website or just having it connected to a public network would be enough.

Big nope from me.
