Hey everyone,

I want to give my Linux terminal a beautiful makeover. and I have followed along with this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffmm80_Cii4&t=176s .

This is the error message I got:

fg: no current job

Any solutions to that problem?

How can I downgrade Grand Theft Auto IV on Ubuntu?

Hey there,

Just installed Grand Theft Auto IV. I'm a little bit to lazy to play the game trough, and want install some mods like the LCPD:FR mod for example. I have found a guide about modding GTA IV on Linux: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRoJb3oq8zs . But I couldn't understand how he came into the files of the game, or the main files. The link he provided in the description about downgrading the game doesn't work either.

So how am I supposed to downgrade Grand Theft Auto IV? What should I do to downgrade the game?

Amazon Basics Speakers not working on my computer

Hey everyone,

Just got the amazon basics stereo loudspeakers for my computer. But it seems that I don't get any audio output from the speakers. I have tried solving this by typing the command: alsamixer in the terminal and followed the instructions from a youtube tutorial. (I'm using Ubuntu btw)

But I still don't get any audio output.

What to do, if I want to learn about Linux?

Hey there,

I have installed Linux like 3 months or so, and I'm satisfied with it. I have tried some things out, like customizing the terminal or downloading some themes especially icons and setting up VS code. But I want to know how Linux, the file system and the command line works.

I'm thinking of buying the book "The Linux Command Line" by William Shotts, and some other books.

But what learning source do you recommend?

How do the .removeprefix() and .removesuffix() methods work?

Hey there,

I'm new to Python, and I wanted to know if somebody could explain why and how the .removeprefix() and .removesuffix() work? I can't get my head over it. For example:

filename = "test"
file_ending = ".py"
file = f"{filename}{file_ending}"          

I created three variables, and let's say, I want to remove the suffix with the .removesuffix() method:

print(file.removesuffix(file_ending))

What I'm getting at is that I also could write this instead:

print(file.removesuffix(filename))

Usually, you would write removeprefix instead of removesuffix. This is just an example.

But why won't the removesuffix() method delete the filename? Or better, how does the computer know which part of the string a prefix or suffix is?

Cannot run my python file using the terminal on Ubuntu

Hey there,

I have a problem running my Python file using the directory commands in my terminal. So if I wanted to run hello_world.py, I should usually, as the book I'm learning with suggests, type the path to my folder in my terminal. Something like this: cd /home/abdu/hello_world.py. This is the directory my folder is in. Am I missing something?

And what are better approaches to open and execute Python directly from the terminal?

What AMD graphicscard should I buy instead of nvidia rtx 4070ti

Hey there,
I want to buy an AMD graphicscard, because of the fact that I recently switched to Linux, and being aware of the fact, that Nvidia and Linux don‘t have the best relationship.

But my question is: What graphicscard should I get as a switcher? Which graphicscard performs well, or better than the current gpu I have? Any recommendations?

Failed Installation after trying booting into windows 10

Hey there,

I want to install Windows 10 alongside Linux Mint, so I can actually dual-boot between those two OS. I have Linux Mint already installed on my Computer, and it usually boots into Linux Mint.

After installing the Windows 10 ISO file. I got this error message. I went to Linux Mint forums, and someone suggested that I go to the Linux Mint Installation Guide and type the following commands:

sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda

An error message appeared right after:

x86_64-efi wird für Ihre Plattform installiert.
grub-install: Fehler: EFI-Verzeichnis kann nicht gefunden werden.

It states that the EFI directory can not be found.

So what should I do now to get this properly working?

Is learning to code with AI making you dumber?

I have started learning programming with C++, and used it as a more patient tutor, for explaining concepts, if I don‘t understand the concept good enough by simply reading by book.

What I don‘t do is, to tell AI write all the code for me, or solve the problem. If I got stuck, I would ask AI to give me a food of thought, to solve this issue.

Recently I got the feeling, if I forego about using AI for explaining and generating programming tasks, I would be more able to think, and understand the logic of it on my own. Even if I got stuck, and think about the problem in my own way, I would imprint the solution and the logic behind it. What‘s your opinion about that? And what‘s your different approach?

Initialising multiple variables in a Range-based For loop

Hello. I'm completely new to C++, and started learning this language a month ago. Right now, I'm learning about Range-based for loops. I want to know if it's possible to declare and initialise multiple variables, and if so, how could I do so?

So this is how you usually would write a Range-based for loop (Correct me if I'm wrong) :

    double price_pear = 0.75; 


    for (int p : {14, 23, 12})
    {
        double price_total = price_pear * p;
        std::cout << price_total << " $" << std::endl; 
    }

I want to declare multiple variables in this Range-based for loop, for example.

Thank you, everyone, for reaching out!
