    Hey LTT Forum! I've been trying to find the best way to play PC games on my living room TV. Thankfully my office closet and living room share a wall, and because of this I've drilled a hole from the office closet to the living room and have routed a HDMI 2.1 cable along with a USB extender with a Bluetooth dongle. While this works okay I have to disconnect ;via window display settings, the living room TV from my PC every time I stop playing games so I don't have a "extra monitor" hooked up. Again the setup works fine, but feels really inefficient and clunky as I have to go back and forth from office to living room to get everything going. I've also tried the steam link app on my Chromecast, but I don't like that solution as the controller set up is super inconsistent. Is there a more efficient of gaming from my PC to my living room TV? Thanks for your suggestions and help, Cgoff117

    I probably messed up the ubuntu install when I did it. When I was having problems earlier I coudnt get passed the fixboot line. It said access denied. Now however after that videos instructions PC is starting up okay. Should I still try to do this ( disconnecting all the drives except boot drive) even though I'm booting up fine? Also if I get the access denied line is there a work around that?

    The unbuntu was installed on an "old" HDD from my old laptop. I put that HDD in my PC to use unbuntu. My D drive is for my steam library and such, that 300GB is from a PC I parted out for extra space. And that cleaned out 1tb is from the ubuntu stuff.

    HOLY CRAP okay. finally back in windows. Used this youtube video. I used this however now, I can see in disk managment this partition ( link below). I figure that 549 mb partition is the grub and I should delete it??

    Hey 2FA, Im back home and I can only access the computer via a windows installer USB ( repair my PC thing). I have 2 partitions on my SSD one with 549 mb and the other with 232 gb. I'm assuming the 549 gm is the ubuntu grub? Do I just delete from the command prompt or do I fix the boot on it? I can send a pic if it help. Thanks again

    Even when I disconnected the drive with Ubuntu on it it wouldnt normally boot. I tried doing a book fix in the command promp but my access was denied. I currently just put ubuntu back on a USB. Can I delete the partitions through like halfway installing ubunutu?

    I am running Windows 10. I'm not sure what you mean by WInblows ( wait is this a joke?). If my PC just sits and "goes to sleep" on its own when I wake it up it does the flickering again. I'll try to run the DDU. Thanks so much! I'll update you in a few minutes.
