  Windows 10 Recovery - Reset

  I'm not going to bother listing the version since that changes...  moreI'm not going to bother listing the version since that changes every other day with Windows 10. And in my opinion I still haven't seen one that has made it any better. It started out slow, glitchy, unstable, now years later version 21h-something it's still glitchy, unstable and even got slower!I really don't understand why anyone uses it?Just UPGRADE to LINUX, it won't force updates or upgrades, you'll never see another "Windows has run into problems and needs to restart" You won't need to worry about everything you do being sold to the highest bidder. If you want a simple 100% FREE stable super fast OS make the switch like the other millions of people that dump Windows daily.OK,onto how to recovery or reset your Windows computer. (Recovery almost NEVER works) Reset will fix most Windows 10 errors about 99% of the time. Depending on which one you choose both will erase the buggy messed up Windows installation and do a clean re-install. So if just to many things are not working? "sound, copy & paste,...    less

  Xubuntu - Ubuntu 20.04 AMD Radeon Profile FAN CONTROLLER

  Well as always like a dog without a bone LOL I have been...  moreWell as always like a dog without a bone LOL I have been searching and searching for something to control fan speeds for AMD Video cards in Linux. Something like the Nvidia Control Panel for Nvidia cards.And I found "Radeon Profile" super easy to install and even better then the Nvidia Control Panel. You can set power levels, overclock, create custom fan curves, set your AMD video card to "COMPUTE". Compute is needed for mining crypto :) and yes AMD video cards are king in crypto mining. So much more ETH for the buck. (10 RX580 at 30-32mh/s for the price of one 2080 TI at 63-66mh/s do the math lol)You will need to have already installed your AMD video card drivers.The maker of this great GUI:https://github.com/marazmista/radeon-profileNow the easy part :) open your favorite Terminal window. Make sure you have "lm-senors" installed if not install them.Type or copy and paste this hit enter: sudo apt install lm-sensorsType or copy and paste this hit enter: sudo apt-get updateThen add the Radeon Profile...    less

  Changing Thunar or Nautilus to Nemo File Manger

  Most people that use Linux now that Nemo is the best file...  moreMost people that use Linux now that Nemo is the best file manager but sometimes a bit of pain to make default. I do it for people all the time and never really pay attention on just how I do it! LOL So this time I took the time to write it all down. And it's a little different if you are using Ubuntu or Xubuntu. I use Xubuntu just because I like having total CONTROL of my computer and how it looks. And I have no problems reading menu's.First which one are you using? If you have the annoying side bar you can't move, change or customize and need to search to find apps? That would be Ubuntu  I really hoped they would KILL that side bar in Ubuntu 20.04.To switch to Nemo in Ubuntu:Set Nemo as your default desktop in Ubuntu 20.04+ (some do not need "sudo" but all will work using sudo")Type or copy and paste this hit enter: sudo apt updateType or copy and paste this hit enter: sudo apt install nemoType or copy and paste this hit enter: sudo xdg-mime default nemo.desktop inode/directory...    less

  Steam downloads and updates on Linux vs Windows 10

  Both are on the same computer using dual boot.Why is Windows 10...  moreBoth are on the same computer using dual boot.Why is Windows 10 SO MUCH SLOWER then Linux?Well Linux never crashes, it is FREE, no forced updates, no spyware, just an OS. Using only 1.3 gigs of memory to run the system. Windows 10 & 11 try to use about 6.5 gigs just to run the OS.Downloading and updating Steam games on Linux like all things Linux LIGHNING FAST!Downloading and updating Steam games on Windows 10 Pro like all things on Windows SUPER SLOW!LOL Why do people still use Windows? Download speed SLOWER, Hard Drive speed OMG SUPER SLOW!If you're not upgrading to Linux you must just really like watching your windows screen sit there until Windows crashes. :)  less

  Windows 11 Things you should know before downgrading.

You need software that ONLY runs in Windows? Just UPGRADE to Linux, 100% stable, plays games, office software, accounting software, graphics software, encoding software... Everything you have in Windows it's just FREE and faster.OK lets start with the new joke Windows 11. :)1. Just as slow as Windows 10.2. Memory speed slower then Windows 8 (not 8.1), slower then Linux.3. Hard drive speeds slower then Windows 8 (not 8.1), slower then Linux.4. Horrible un-useable start menu made for morons.5. Still has forced updates that mess up everything, still limited hours on when you can use YOUR computer.6. Still locks out everything but the newest hardware.7. Still SUPER HORRIBLE graphics. I swear switching between Linux & Windows windows colors, lighting, graphics are HORRIBLE. I can't stand looking at the Windows desktop. Still just as dam UGLY in Windows 11.8. Random micro freezes YEP STILL THERE.

  HARLEY-DAVIDSON SPORTSTER S aka Custom 1250

  So Harley Davidson has the best and fastest motor ever made by...  moreSo Harley Davidson has the best and fastest motor ever made by Harley "The Revolution Motor". And we have the birth of the VROD - VRSC V-Twin-Racing-Street-Custom. Then all the different models, Muscle, Night Rod, Street Rod, Destroyer... Then they drop the line and return to the standard ever so SLOW Harley motors and just keep raising the cubic inches, but still no HP.Then they jump back to the Revolution Motor with the Revolution 2 a better motor then the VROD's. Higher compression (VROD 11.3:1 REV2 13:1) more HP VROD 120-140 REV2 150 HP and they put it in a dirt bike (Pan American)!Now they put the Revolution 2 it in a street bike!And just like always they blow it :( they lower the HP to 120 and put it in a Sportster! So it may or may not be faster then a VROD depending on the VROD model. It has pipes that will be right on your butt while riding, it has a THREE GALLON GAS TANK. I can almost deal with the ugly engine for the speed. But 3 gallon tank, tiny sportster and $14,999 price tag and one...    less
