I am currently rebuilding an ASUS laptop at the stupid level. Redoing the drives, replacing ram, cleaning the cereal spilt by some stupid 2 year old and at the moment copying the 27 versions, all different by the way, of do you want to build a snowman.
This is a laptop my uncle's family uses throughout the house for everything. He works at a tool and die shop so he takes it with him sometimes.
I have put a fresh set of 4 GB ram in it and a 500 GB drive. I am still copying do you want to fuck a snow bitch over at the moment and plotting out how I will be setting up the hard drive when I get to installing Ubuntu Mate. The laptop will be used for text editing and stuff, internet and whatnot, but that won't stop me from installing chromium, blender in case he needs something to hook up to the CNC and Mills at his work (they use blender to model the molds, or at least used to), and setting up dropbox as it appears someone in their house uses it.
Do you want to make my day go better has finished copying over so now I am going to start work on the install. Lets see if the CD drive will stay up long enough for my work into it.
Bye windows 7, fuck you. o/
Well I think the CD drive took some screaming lessons from that two year old I mentioned earlier. I'll hope the laptop was knocked off of a table and the drive just whines now. I hope I don't have to buy more DVD's to burn another ISO (DVD's are more convenient for me).
Well now I think the ASUS hates me, the installer got stuck. And now it's back, NVM.
I am going to go with my favorite setup for linux noob jobs. /home and / being completely separate partitions. All in XFS of course. I hate EXT4. Not efficient at all. Needs to be defragged. The most windws thing I have seen since SystemD integration. Back after the install has started.
