I'd like to watch videos whilst I play my mmo.

The connection is fine as I've plenty of bandwidth and it's something that's built into windows.

So I have two laptops, one is a nice one, the other one not so nice. I connected the two wirelessly and I'm getting a LOT of stutter across the second one where the screen is tearing and the audio is on a good 30 second delay. I expected a little lag from the connection but not the tearing and I expected the audio to be on the same lag. The displays are both 60 hz, or rather one says it's 60 and the other says it's 60.025, I'm not sure if that's enough to make a difference or if it can be fixed? I don't know what to do... I'm a novice at this, help please? I just want to watch videos whilst I farm in my mmo.

No and I doubt it, but it's possible.

If it were constant, I would but a love tap, not even a hard it, enough i'm not worried about breaking anything as I've set the computer down harder, which is saying a lot. I extend my pinky as a coushon and everything

Fixed the dead pixel, just needed a reboot on that one.

So the acer nitro 5 already has ungodly fan noise but recently mine has been being extra loud but when I use "percussive maintenance" it goes away, until i move the computer even slightly. I don't have money to take it to the shop and I have never taken a laptop apart before. I have no clue what to do, anyone know what's causing it and how to fix it? Also, there's a dead pixel on the screen with a discolored circle around it, but the mouse cursor goes over it... Anyone know what that's about

I've been trying to experiment with Linux while I wait for my new computer to arrive but so far, I'm just frying USBs. The first I installed the pop-os iso onto then realized I did something wrong. I went to format the drive but... the drive wasn't being picked up. I then went into disk manager and wiped it clean thinking this would help. It didn't. Now I still can't format it. I've tried formatting every way possible from right clicking to cmd commands. Half of them pick up the drive but pop out some sort of error, the other half refuse to acknowledge it's existence. Sometimes it would show up but wouldn't even show it had the capability of storing data. One of the errors was along the lines of "install drive into usb F:" After realizing this was probably a lost cause, I wrote the usb off and ordered another one. This time, with the new usb, I managed to use a program to make the usb a bootable drive, with the pop-os iso. After much finagling in the bios I managed to launch into pop-os. The installer experienced an error... I don't remember what the error was but I "fixed" it by just using the demo mode. I then proceeded to try to change the desktop to KDE using terminal commands. It was gong well until it wasn't. Apparently, my drive was out of space. It's a 32gb drive so I doubt this is the case and search around for how to look at total space on a disk in gnome. I find that the disk manager, or whatever it was called and realize the demo version is limiting me to 2gb, no wonder I ran out of space... I then try to install it again, from within the demo version as there's a button to install it. It looks like it's going fine until I get to selecting the partitions. I use the custom option so I don't erase my computer's drive on accident. It won't let me select any of the partitions but the buttons are working. I select the partition manager and at this point some error happened that landed me on a black screen with a flashing underscore. I wait on this screen for several minutes without change, I then try practically every key on the keyboard, and after realizing nothing is happening I turn my computer off to retry. Upon going back into the boot selector and selecting my usb drive, apparently my drive is no longer a bootable drive. After anther restart and more bios kerfuffle I get back into windows and take a look at the drive. Show's it's blank again, not empty, blank. Just like the other usb, it doesn't even show a storage bar under it in the file manager. Try to format it like I did the other one, it too apparently needs to have a drive inserted. At this point I stop messing with it and come here as I clearly don't know what to do and don't want to break it further. Please... help...

I'm gonna buy this laptop: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TF6MKZ2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3JS2199GQLB8L&psc=1 I'll be buying this laptop in a couple days and I'm wanting to switch to linux from windows, will there be any problems with anything hardware wise if I install linux on it? I plan on using the 256 ssd for windows so I can play a couple games that just don't work on linux and I'll use the 1tb as the main boot drive with linux. I plan on using POP! OS. This'll be my first foray into linux and just to make sure I like it I'll probably run it off a usb for the first few days. Also, I've never had two OS's on one system, how do you do that? Thank you in advance. Sorry...

Thank you. You've done far more work than I could ask for. I'll probably go with this. I don't actually know too much about speakers or headphones, do you think these are good? I was wanting a second monitor since I plan on rendering stuff in the background and wanted to keep an eye on it while I game. I was going to get two of the same monitor as I wanted to try out dual screen but on second thought that'd be hellish for the crosshair with two monitors. The second one can be pretty cheap I guess. Thank you again. I hate to ask more but could you recommend a good keyboard? I'd prefer a wireless one so I don't have to mess with the cable but whatever you think'd be best I'd trust. You seem like you know better than me.

I’m only using one OS but I’m putting it on an ssd. For literally everything else I’m wanting to use the other two drives. Windows 10 is what I’ll be using. How do I have it where everything else will default to the other drives.

I'm afraid I don't quite get what you mean. Are you saying that I'd pick one of the mechanical drives in the bios?

I'm about to build my first PC and I'm getting a SSD for the operating system with 2 mechanical drives for actual usage but I don't know how to set one of them as the default. Any help would be much appreciated...
