Still laughin' at Someone Else's sig.

 

[Someone Else 37]

56 Well, I'm glad SOMEONE noticed it...

 

[lenscas]

55 what makes you think I never noticed it?

 

[Someone Else 37]

56 You never said anything about, although I have little reason to believe that you never actually saw it.

I'm not sure I understand your sig, though, which is probably why I never said anything about it.

57 grub is the program(is that the right word) that I use for dual booting as it comes standard with Linux.

 

[Someone Else 37]

58 Ok, and when you say you have six entries in it, I'm guessing that means that you're ably to boot into any of six OSes?

 

[lenscas]

57 yep, well sort off. There are also some that have to do with recovery and stuff

 

[Someone Else 37]

58 Recovery, mhr, that's a thing...

I think I've used grub before, now that I think about it. I used to use a computer that dual-booted almost daily, and for one year, I had to boot it into Windoze once a week.

 

[lenscas]

on the laptop the only reason why I boot in windows is to shrink the windows partition. I am probably going to remove ubuntu though

 

[Someone Else 37]

58? I had to periodically boot into Windows that year because the software that an online class I was taking used for webconferences didn't work in Ubuntu. Which was annoying, especially because it took me a week or two to figure out how to make it work correctly.

 

[lenscas]

57 ugh, I hope I never run in that problem, because I need to relearn how my mouse pad works if I am going to use windows, not to mention that it is windows 8.1 and its @*@&@ slow with only steam installed

 

[Someone Else 37]

58 Yeah, I haven't much liked Windoze since I learned that there were any alternatives.

 

[lenscas]

57 windows xp was great after that it went down hill fast.
windows 7 is kind of great but the only way to make it look nice is to enable aero and that takes more resources then I would like (I say with 16 GB of ram and an i7 cpu)

 

[Someone Else 37]

58 For the first two years I had a school laptop, it ran XP and I was like "Yay, I have a computer" and used it both at school and at home.

Then, the summer after that, they installed 7 on it, as well as a bunch more security software. And I was like "This is terrible... and slow... and all the hacks I used to use to get around the security stuff don't work anymore", and so I took over the Ubuntu desktop (the one that dual-boots Windoze 7) while at home.

57 I saw Linux back when windows 2000(or was it earlier I forgot?) was a thing thanks to my brother, the only reason I didn't start to use it was because he told me that my games wouldn't work.

 

[Someone Else 37]

58 I didn't learn about Linux until I had pretty well stopped playing games that wouldn't work on it already, so...

 

[lenscas]

57 my game library was at that point pretty much aoe 1 rise of rome and aoe 2 conquerors and of course settlers 2.

 

[Someone Else 37]

Never heard of those... I think mine at the time was a few Wii games (which, of course, have nothing to do what OS the desktop is using) and/or a particular browser game. Well before I learned about Minecraft, certainly.

 

[lenscas]

57?
aoe = age of empires =awesome rts
settlers 2 was another rts out of the dos time

and yes I have played a total of 6 rts games and 3 expansions for them only to now never touch the genre again.

 

[Someone Else 37]

58 rts = real time strategy, I'm guessing?
