  • If you’re here to feel sorry for yourself, well, congrats.

    If you’re here to actually discuss - you were doing it for the wrong reasons if your entire goal behind your health and fitness was finding a relationship. And health and fitness aside, making large parts of your life purely about “getting into a relationship” is a terrible idea as well. Discover your interests. Try some hobbies. Maybe they are sports and fitness, maybe they aren’t. Meet people who share your interests. Men and women. Meet them to make friends and be social and share your passions with others. At some point along that journey, when you’re a self confident person who knows what you like about yourself and what you’re passionate about, you’ll probably accidentally find someone who also likes those things about you, and loves your passions.

    Or, I mean, imply to strangers on the Internet that you’re possibly considering self harm. It won’t get you anywhere but if that’s what makes you feel good, I’m not going to stop you.

    EDIT: I made the mistake of looking at your post history. Save everyone around here some time and stop dumping your misery all over the place. If you want to be your own personal storm cloud regardless of what anyone says, fine. Stop trying to be everyone else’s too. God damn, dude.










  • If you happen to care, what you were doing with the program Rufus was creating a “bootable media”. Think back in the day when you had to buy a Windows CD and insert that to install or update Windows. This is kind of the evolution of that. An operating system installer can be loaded into a thumb drive (some utilities even let you put many on one drive, and then you can choose between them) and then you tell your computer to read from the USB drive first (which you did via the BIOS boot menu configuration) and instead of booting up your installed Windows, it gives you the option of installing whatever is on your USB drive.

    This is fortunately often a pretty painless process, creating the USB boot loaders isn’t hard, and virtually every single Linux distro out there can be installed in this way.

    Glad you’re enjoying Mint, and excellent choice for a new Linux user. If you like it, you’ll never need to change to anything else.

    Welcome!
