Help! Cant install CentOS 7 dual boot with Win 10! by brithetechguy in CentOS

[–]brithetechguy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am new-ish to Linux. I am going through my Linux+. I am working with CentOS 7 and Ubuntu. I really like CentOS 7 and want to use it as my main OS without getting rid of my Windows install. However, everytime I try installing I will get to a certain point and the install crashes. I have tried CentOS 7 and RHEL 8. Both do the same thing. I have tried disabling secure boot and enabling legacy mode. U fortunately my UEFI/BIOS doesnt have a lot of configure-ability. I'm using a newer HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop with the two graphics options (on board + nvidia gtx 1050 ti). I have messed with it for literally days. I have tried various versions on the ISO thinking that maybe I had the wrong one - DVD, Everything, Live, etc. None of them worked. I took some pics and have attached them. Thanks in advance!

That's not a bad score if it's just from practical knowledge. Study and you will kill it.

On Udemy there is a CCNA Packet Tracer Lab course you can buy for $9.99 to cover all of the labs.

TIFU by getting a haircut the day before going on a date by Enyo305 in tifu

[–]brithetechguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had several bad experiences getting a haircut even when I started showing them pictures of what I wanted. I dont k ow what's happened lately but there is always a new person working in the shop and the last person to cut my hair "doesnt work here anymore." I dont know if it's something you feel comfortable with. But, I just started learning to cut my own hair and ha ent paid someone else to do it in almost a year.

Am I cut out to be a programmer, having doubts by Mariciano in FreeCodeCamp

[–]brithetechguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are clearly just an arrogant, ignorant, condescending asshole dude. You aren't better than anyone else and you make yourself look like a pathetic loser who has to talk trash about other people to try to make yourself look good. It's gross. Get a life.


[–]brithetechguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its fine if YOU disagree. Nobody told YOU to go into IT. Not to mention you are talking about IT as a whole. That's very broad. If being a help desk technician isn't something that works for YOU. Great. If you read my original response, I fully encouraged the OP to stick with programming and work on it everyday if they want to really get good at it. I also pointed out that not everyone should be a programmer. You disagree with that? That's odd. Not everyone should be a programmer. Not everyone has an aptitude for it. That advice couldn't be more honest and accurate. You keep talking about level 1 techs. IT is not just help desk positions? System Admins are IT. Network Engineers are IT. DevOps. CyberSecurity. Developers. They are all IT. There are a lot of good jobs that are much more than just fixing peoples computers or running cabling....? You seem to have an extremely narrow view of what is all involved in IT. You also said "or you can tolerate a lot of education from Cisco." Is there not a lot of learning involved in programming?

To be honest you sound like an idiot. Developers are truly computer experts? Says who? You? And what education did the developer go through to become an overall computer expert? Because working through FCC certainly isn't training you on how to fix computer hardware. Or networking. Or server administration.

If YOU want to be a developer good for you. If being a developer really isn't a good choice for the OP then what the hell do you know about it? You are speaking out of your ass and you might want to educate yourself instead of just talking down about anything that isn't what YOU are interested in.

I worked at being a developer for quite a while. I never really started getting it until I started doing it every single day. Programming is hard. And programming jobs want you to know a ton of stuff to even get your foot in the door. The market is oversaturated because so much stuff on the web is telling everyone to learn to code. Some people get it easier than other. The rest of us just have to work on it every day. I doubted myself all the time. But, I worked through the free code camp projects and I kept working beyond them on real world stuff. And it started to click. I got my first job as a Front End dev making $52,000/yr.

Bottom line is, its hard. Its normal to have doubts. But, if you arent fully committed to working on it every single day then you wont get good at it and it wont go anywhere. But, on the flip side of that. If you do put in the work daily, you will get it and get good at it and make it a reality. So, I believe in you! Do the work and make it happen!

EDIT: I also want to point out that not everyone should be a developer. There are absolutely other areas of the tech industry that might suit you better. We are going to continue to need people on the IT side (help desk, system admin, server admin, database admin, network admin, etc. etc.). We will need computer architecture engineers and electrical engineers. There are so many aspects of the tech industry. Dont fool yourself into thinking that your only option is to be a developer. I think so many people are spinning this narrative right now that everyone should learn to code that they make it seem like all of the other careers within IT dont matter. They do! And maybe you would be a better Network Engineer than a Software Engineer!? Its possible! But, the only person that can really answer that question is you. So explore other areas and see what clicks the most for you.

Im guess the OP set the fire? Guess what brainiac. Animals kill each other for food. Even your precious plants come in carnivorous varieties. It's nature, you psychopath.

Lady doesn't understand the Law by Ashenox in JusticeServed

She got what she deserved. It is simple to provide identification and then remain silent. Or, you can choose to remain silent and plead the 5th entirely, however, you are subject to the consequences of those actions in doing so....as seen here. You don't get to have your cake and eat it too.

Man assaults serial killer (who killed his mother) in court and beats him with a chair by cybersecuritycel in JusticeServed

[–]brithetechguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We should be allowed 5 minutes to beat the fuck out of these types of people without consequences. Break his knees, his jaw, make him have to sit in a bag the rest of his life while he sits in prison. Fuck that sick son of a bitch.

To cure cancer by Master1718 in therewasanattempt

[–]brithetechguy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

ABSOLUTELY FUCKING DESERVES IT. Then "Liz" turns off all comments from all of her videos instead of taking down her account like a smart person. She should absolutely get hate and shamed for this stupid bullshit. If you would have just made a channel promoting healthy living while having cancer you would have been much more successful and would have been able to continue your YouTube career after your Aunt's passing. Fucking dumb people deserve what they get.
