    Question Lighttpd Server is running in the background on Linux ?

    I tried starting xampp today, but the apache2 server wasn't starting. I used sudo netstat -nap | grep :80 to see what other programms use that port and i saw that lighttpd server was using it. I haven't manually installed lighttpd and it is the first time that this has happened. It also started...

    Question Can't boot from USB flash drive to install Win 10 ?

    Ironically this worked (havent done a full installation yet, but it starts and lets me make partitions). I have an old windows xp laptop and i tried an older version of rufus on it. The only difference between what rufus did and my extracting the files of the iso, was that i used a gpt partition...

    Question Can't boot from USB flash drive to install Win 10 ?

    Etcher doesnt work well with windows isos. How do you think rufus works? It extracts the data from the iso, it formats the usb and then it pastes the data in the usb. There are more recovery programms for windows than linux, so i hope one of them works.

    Question Booting from usb device on an old laptop ?

    it doesn't have the boot order list, I checked for that. I will try the second method later. The laptop has a dvd drive and allows booting from the dvd, but i have no idea how to burn an iso to a dvd and if I need more tools than just a dvd and the laptop's disk drive. In other words, I am too...

    Question Booting from usb device on an old laptop ?

    I found an old laptop (vaio vgn-fs215b) and I wan to change the windows xp with arch. I can find the boot menu button, but it doesn't show me my usb. Did old laptops not support booting from usb, or am I doing something wrong?. (the usb isn't shown on the bios either, but windows recognise it)

I was playing civ 6 and i started noticing some major slow downs, but didn't worry because i thought that maybe wine has a hard time with all the things that it has to render. I also had sims 4 starting up that i completely forgot about, so when i closed that and it...

    laptop for sub 700€

    i kinda need it to put it in my backpack, but most are 1.7kg and i can fit a 15" laptop in there, so not much of an issue. Obviously, a 14" would be better, but not a priority.

    Question will this make my pc any slower?

    I have one 256g gb ssd that is my root drive and one 2tb hdd for storing my apps. The issue is, that in linux the apps are stored in the root drive by default. So, i made a new partition in my 2tb hdd and put my home folder in there. This freed a ton of space from my root drive, but will it make...
