Right now I have a TP Link Archer A7 as my main router in the first floor of my house. I want to extend the coverage to the ground floor as well but I'm not sure how to do it. I was able to come up with two options: Buying a new router and using it in access point mode or just buying an access point Buying a range extender I don't want separate Wi-Fi networks in my house. I want all the devices in both the floors under one single network. So how do I go about solving this problem?

So I dual booted linux along with windows 7. I messed up by not removing grub properly. I just deleted the linux partitions. Now windows 7 boots but it takes almost 15 mins. The bios is not uefi and the ssd is mbr. It's a pretty old computer.

@mahyarI had never tried installing linux and seeing the difference. But I installed manjaro xfce and I can use the laptop again. Thanks again for helping.

Then I might go with manjaro xfce. Thanks for the help!

I'm sorry if I'm bothering you by asking too many questions but can you briefly tell the differences between xfce and kde?

Since I'm already using Elementary OS, I think I'll go with lubuntu. Is it beginner friendly?

I have a very old laptop which no one in my family uses anymore. It can hardly run windows 10. I just want to install Linux and see how it performs. Since, I'm a beginner at linux, the only two distro's I have in mind are Mint OS and Elementary OS. It would be helpful if any one of you could suggest a proper linux distro for a beginner (even if it is anything other than above mentioned ones) according to the specs. Specs of the laptop: CPU: Intel i3 380M RAM: 4GB of DDR3 RAM Storage: it is a WD HDD with 300GB of storage space P.S. I've been using Elementary OS in a virtual machine on another pc for a week now. So if Elementary OS is suitable it would be very good.

Now it's working properly. Thanks a lot for the fix!

I had a similar problem with my new hdd, where the computer would freeze for a second when I used it after it was idle for a while. Just changing the "sleep after" setting to 0 seconds (never sleep) in power settings solved it.

Any reasons why hwmonitor is garbage?

Your Welcome!

Glad I could help.

@Deepak_Fletcher Thanks for updating. Hope you can get the replacement without any problems.

It won't be enough. Especially for the power spikes. Graph from the LTT review of the 3080Fe:

With your current setup, the discord output audio is your discord input audio as well like a loop. It is like holding a mic next to a speaker. This is a good tutorial for virtual sound mixing and virtual cables I found:
