I am an absolute Linux baby running Mint23(?) on my PC. I wanted to play an ancient game from my childhood that I cherished but I don’t really know how to get it off the Internet Archive onto my computer.
Any suggestions?
# mount -o loop file.iso empty_dir“Linux is for everyone! No need to learn anything new” lmao.
You should need to learn code to open a file imo.
Most distros you can just open it, like on Mac.
All new things will require some learning and getting used to. If you think that is crazy you should see how to get windows to only search for local files
Dude inise Linux, have a long time…windows is just easier. Then Mac after that and then Linux. The whole community wants everyone to switch to Linux but then screams at you because you don’t want to type 3 paragraphs in a terminal to get one program to open.
If you want to search only local files for windows. You just go that file and search.
You call that “learning code”? What are you, an AI tech bro?
Is terminal code not…code?
The biggest put off to Linux is the absolute shit community it has
Ah right, in the times of MS-DOS, every computer user was a programmer… /s
Ms-dos came with a manual.
And Linux has a manual built into the console.
Also: are you seriously insinuating most MS-DOS users had actually purchased a boxed license? This may come as a shock to you - and you only… :)
I wasn’t alive in the 70s bro so idgaf about MS-DOS lmao
Of the two comments explaining how to do it, one using terminal and other UI, this one is shorter and will work on any Linux. The UI method is more complicated and will only work in a specific distro with specific DE.
So yeah, you should learn to code.
How so? You open the folder then click “search” after typing in what you are looking for
