Bloody hell mate.. maybe he likes to rile you up? I mean, hopefully.

Woosh..

The point is that since flushing alone creates aerosolised particles.

Spray wash, then blow dry, would probably multiply that.

I mean we know that hand dryers are terrible.

Sounds like fecal particulate matter everywhere.. if flushing spreads it, can't imagine what an air blower does.

Nothing, love Mint. Just not as easy to install on WSL with a gui.

Wsl seems to be installed since it responded to the command to set it to version 2.

But it doesn't sound like it ever installed Ubuntu properly since it shows no installed distributions.

Quick search shows that you need to enable the following windows features:

Virtual Machine Platform And Windows Hypervisor Platform

Are these enabled?

Edit:

Someone already answered the same thing but I didn't see it before posting this. Well done and glad it's working.

It's quite possible you're running wsl 1 - some.versions of windows 10 never upgraded that subsystem - not sure why.

But it might need wsl 2.

Open PowerShell as Administrator and run: wsl --set-default-version 2

That should upgrade the Virtual environment subsystem but not the ubuntu installation - you can delete it and start again.

Or you can try and upgrade it.

Run this in your PowerShell. wsl.exe -l -v

It should show you the Ubuntu install, the state, and the version.

It should say 1, under version, if my assumption is correct.

If so you need to upgrade it to 2 also.

Copy the exact Name - it might say Ubuntu-20.04 or just Ubuntu etc .

If it says "Running" and not Stopped terminate it like so: wsl -t Distro-Name

Then run the command below (again, replace name with your exact name).

wsl --set-version distro-name 2

Then try to start it from its shortcut again.

Let me know if that worked.

You can dip your toes and have a basic Linux desktop to play with up and running in 10 minutes (less if you know what you are doing).

It will run in a virtual environment within windows (assuming you're running 10 or 11).

So you don't risk anything relating to disk partitioning.

And you can always start it when you have a few mins to play with it without closing down everything else you're working on.

Not mint though. Ubuntu desktop which is I think is also pretty relaxed.

See here basic instructions

Yes, but what if, bear with me here:

What if, in between now and the election, something comes out about the Democrats that shows that they're not absolutely perfect angels?

For example, what if one of them used a private e-mail server?

And for the sake of "balance" the media spends the same amount of time on this as the 10,000 felonies of Donald Trump.

Doesn't that mean they're both the same, and I don't have to think or vote or bother, and therefore it doesn't matter if the totalitarian fascists get into government, "suspend" the constitution, and topple representative government?

Huh, I'll give that a go as occasionally some black blocks and other artifacts appear for me- thought that it couldn't handle high def or something.

Why, now is as good a time as any to repay some technical debt and get sidetracked into refactoring that code that's been bothering you.

But only a few weeks ago one of their arguments was that the airline shouldn't be punished for the actions of the state.

Now they are happy to provide assurances on the state's behalf?

Don't worry, all the extra money will go to higher salaries for all workers. /s

Sorry that didn't work. Maybe also try this:

Privacy & Security --> Security --> Scam Detection

Turn off the "Tell me if the message I'm reading is a suspected email Scam"

The Russians about Central Asian colonialism.

Most certainly have been. Worth another look.

Camo does this

+1 for Sumatra. I just wish it had some minimal pdf editing like moving and inserting pages like Apple's MacOS Preview.

Hm.. I've never seen it do that to me (on Windows with multi GB mail storage).

Though I think there is a setting to auto compress the mail storage every so often if it will save more than X, though I can't remember the details on top of my head. If that setting is too low (e.g. if it will save more than 1mb) then it might be running very often for minimal gain.

Perhaps rummage around in there and see if it helps.

Not sure if you were referring to YT Music by YT Premium. But YT Music is a different interface specifically for music.

You'd be right if they were minors - probably not in this case.
