I'm glad that you want to switch to Linux, but I think there'd be open source solutions for Windows too. I daily drive Linux, and I would begin with looking for open source timers if I ever need timers. Why not do the same in Windows too?
Here are a few: https://alternativeto.net/software/free-countdown-timer/?platform=windows&license=opensource
Try launching the program from a terminal, and see if there are any GPU specific log messages. May be also have a look via journalctl.
Also nvtop and nvitop gives you a GPU monitor.
This is the oldest I could find (from 2013): https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/john-niven-were-living-high-2319290
You can, but I recommend btop. It's much more cooler.
sudo: apt: command not found
For a person with not much familiarity with Linux, and just wants to check things out, I would recommend starting out with a VM. WSL is good, but that is not the "Linux experience". Moreover, if they are not already familiar with the command line, it may be a bit intimidating. The same goes for dual booting. It's more technical, and it's more appealing to just jump back into Windows when things go wrong on Linux. VM approach though, gives you a sandboxed space (with DEs and all) where you can smoothly get familiar and comfortable with Linux before making the final switch. That's my personal opinion for beginners.
That's it, I'm switching to Windows!
I don't use Proton Drive too much, but for my use case, it works great. I sometimes save files in there and share them via urls, and it works great for that use case.
The last time I used Bitwarden, the base plan did not support 2FA which is a must for me. Keepass keeps it local, and supports 2FA too. These days, I use Proton Pass more because I want easier sync across my devices, but I back up everything to Keepass every once in a while.
Here are the ones I use:
This is the hardest and you might need to hop a lot. But, these are the ones I have: FreeTube, Grayjay, LibreTube, NewPipe, PipePipe, and if none of these work, then YTDLnis (yt-dlp client)
ProtonMail (Tuta is heavily suggested too, but I personally have never used it)
Proton Drive (although I don't use cloud storage much)
Stock and AvesLibre (I heard Immich is good too, but I cannot afford self hosting atm)
VLC

Proton Pass and KeepassXC
ProtonMail and K9Mail

ProtonVPN has "Stream films, sports events, and videos on any streaming service (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, BBC iplayer etc)" in its description.
Torrhunt and Orion Torrent Client, both have the tag "netflix torrent".
Explaining like you are 5:
If you have worked with programming languages, you might have come across global variables and inbuilt functions/keywords.
PATHis a similar global variable for your terminal session.Every time you open up a terminal, you load up these "global variables", and you/programs can access them (or the applications assigned to them).
So, let's say you have your application (executable) as
/home/werecat/corncob/bin/corn, instead of starting it with./home/werecat/corncob/bin/corn ..., if you have/home/werecat/corncob/binin yourPATHvariable, you can just use it ascorn ....just means:
PATH = /home/werecat/corncob/bin + PATHIf you see somewhere to add it to your
/home/werecat/.bashrcfile, it means "all commands in .bashrc file are auto-executed every time you start a new terminal session, so if you have it there, you won't need to manually keep entering the command over and over again".You can list these environment variables by just running:
Also, recommend you have a look at https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/how-to-set-an-environment-variable-in-linux/.
Hope this helps. Good luck on your Linux journey.
