[QUOTE="grimreaper1014, post: 893182, member: 554"] Cool thanks I was trying to figure that one out. Even on Windows I hate going through the start menu to programs. I always have them pinned to the desktop. I just want to say thanks again fellas. I appreciate all the time spent answering all my questions. You guys really helped me a lot. I'm having a lot of fun with this. I have barely slept the last couple of days hahaha. Then, here it is again almost 3:30am and I am still up plucking away, reading, and trying things. I still need to work on memorizing some of the terminal commands and stuff like that but as far as everything else I'm rockin and rolling. I got a bunch of my favorite software installed. I install Wine and PlayOnLinux. Gonna try to get some old Windows games I used to play installed since this laptop is too slow for a lot of stuff. Last night I went downstairs and dug out some parts from my desktop that died due to bent motherboard pins. I found a guy through fb marketplace that was selling a Intel 1155 motherboard. So I jumped on it and went and picked it up. Got the motherboard off of his for 75$. Its ASUS Sabertooth z77 motherboard to go with my i7-3770k. I had a ASRock z77 Extreme 6 I was using. Thats the board that died on me. I got everything cleaned up slapped it all together and put Linux Mint Cinnamon on it. I have to say Linux Mint is the $h^t. I really like it a lot. I'm still leaving Lubuntu on my lappy though until I can get as much as I can memorized and get more comfortable using it. I'm going to be using this setup as my Linux gaming rig for now. Today I also put in an order for some new PC parts. I'm going to be building a new desktop PC solely for gaming. I will retire the other two for general tasks and learning. I ordered a AMD Ryzen 3 3300x CPU, MSI B450 Tomahawk Max motherboard, and 16gb or DDR4. I already have a nice case for it and the rest f the hardware laying around to finish it when I'm done.
