    for file server use you might want to run Linux... just because Linux won't reboot your pc without your permission like Windows does. i don't think anyone wants a file server to restart on it's own...

    that would be annoying though... grub is easyer.

    ok. set it to boot linux, then once you're in Linux run in terminal: sudo update-grub
     
    that will add windows to the grub menu and then you can pick which OS you want to boot to.

    Ashley MLP Fangirl got a reaction from kelvinhall05 in what happened to the class of laptops that i really like?   
    so i really like old pro laptops. those bulky machines that have all the I/O you could want and decent specs. no over the top gamer looks or a massive gpu, just the stuff you need to get work done. 
     
    however i look up hp elitebooks for fun and all i found were these thin machines... like what? 
     
    i kinda blame Apple for this, they made the Pro machines not pro at all...

    Ashley MLP Fangirl got a reaction from B1scu1T in Windows 10 Start Search is Hopeless   
    yeah spotlight in macOS is so much better than Windows 10's search... i just don't bother searching for stuff in Windows 10 anymore because often it's just a waste of time because manually opening the file is faster than having the search fail...

    Ashley MLP Fangirl got a reaction from dodgy_or_not in dodgy or not   
    nope, probably a scam. just doing a quick google search 1060 3gb's go for an average of about €250 new in my country, in USD that's $290...

    i wasn't talking about iOS. i do have an iPhone but yeah i don't care about that. i have it because the 1 or 2 years of support you get with most android phones is inexcusable for me because i can do 2+ years with a phone. 
     
    my point was that for me as a tech-savvy user macOS can do a lot for me.
