Dual booting on ChromeOS
MrSaltyCactus replied to limegorilla's topic in Linux, macOS and Everything Not-Windows
Dude, your using a chrome book those "computers" if you can even call them one are not meant to be used for much. However the best and most stable way to use it is to do the fallowing. 1. Wipe the 32gb Drive 2. Install Linux Mint (or Ubuntu) 3. Purchase an 128gb SD card If it has a SD card reader or a Flash Drive instead if it doesn't 4. Enjoy your usable now descent computer If your worried about compatibility don't at least for Linux Mint I've installed it on a few chrome books recently it works well and is much more productive than on a ChromeOS -
Well its better than a potato like my pc

That might be the problem I hope it doesn't but if it does I get my new graphics card in the mail tomarrow (RX 460) which does have an HDMI port so I won't need it anymore Any other reason you can think of?

Hey I just bought an Ultra wide monitor for my pc and it tells me i should switch the resolution to 2560x1080 but when I go to my resolution settings the max it will let me go is 1920 x 1080 how do i make it go higher? FYI my GPU is Quadro Fx 1800 and the cable is HDMI but it uses an adapter from Display Port as well though.

Oh sweet! How much did they charge you?
-
Okay
-
Can you give me a list of all the cables that I would need?
-
No - I have 2 SATA cables. No PCIe cables. I'm not sure how the PCIe cables got lost along the way, but I don't have them. The whole PC was only $50 anyway so I didn't question it.
-
I got the PC used, I only have two of them and they're both in use.

Alright thanks

you sure?

Does an RX 460 require additional power from the PSU besides the power from the motherboard? Here is the card I'm wondering about exactly https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202269&cm_re=rx_460-_-14-202-269-_-Product

Okay, thanks!

Yes, I'm aware. Like I said, just trying to get this for now so I can upgrade CPU later. So that cable will work?

I'm using this PSU: http://store.antec.com/basiqseries/bp550-plus.html# The CPU is an Athelon II, thinking about switching platforms to something like Ryzen down the line though.
