Question Linux on a USB or VM?

[Zepp]

Just curious, what is 14.9 ?

I meant the kernel version I was on when I installed vmware but my memory lopped off the 6 for some reason.
it was actually version 6.14.9

I think I finally got my steam folder to work for two users on two Linux installations. Now I just have to find a way for it to recognize that all the files for the games present in the folder so I don't have to re-download.

I can move them to the correct folder under Mint, but the games don't show up under UM42 until I install it an it red downloads everything.

Definitely learned a lot about ownership, groups, mounting and fstab so far

Pearson/Addison-Wesley is probably my all-time favorite publisher, although they aren't as prolific as O'Reilly & Associates.
Some of the following are absolute classics.
$25 gets you the entire lot.

Is it normal that wifi is slower on Linux than Windows?

I get 20-30% slower download speed than on my Windows install.

It's the same if I connect my ethernet cable.

I'm afraid I can't help with that. I have occasionally used WiFi on Linux but I've never thought / had reason to check performance back-to-back.

A possibility that occurs to me is that maybe the driver code for a particular chipset isn't up to scratch, maybe it was provided by the manufacturer and they don't have an awful lot of pride in their work for a runner-up OS.
