Mixing sodium bicarbonate into water, even with just a teaspoon of acid like vinegar or lemon juice added, is still a good antacid.
- Comment on It's OK to just like lemon water. 6 days ago:
It’s not dumb in the sense that water that is not alkaline is not the same as water that is alkaline with some added acid.
In Eastern Europe the soft drink created by mixing sodium bicarbonate into water and then adding a tea spoon of lemon juice or vinegar to it was an oft used refreshment before the 80s.

And this is why I got hooked on roguelites. Hades, Spelunky, FTL, Enter the Gungeon, Slay the Spire, Crypt of the Necro Dancer, Rogue Legacy, Dome Keeper, Runestone Keeper. There’s probably so much more out there.

Amazing. Thanks for the info.
Any ideas on how I’d make dry cottage cheese out of it at home?
- Comment on Never buying milk from Walmart again 2 weeks ago:
I somehow doubt you can do much with pasteurized and homogenized 1% milk.
There’s a reason that most dairy products in Europe are made from raw milk.
- Comment on Never buying milk from Walmart again 2 weeks ago:
The US and Canada are really anal about pasteurizing and homogenizing milk. It’s basically nearly impossible to buy any that isn’t. Most often it’s also just a reconstituted milk product instead. At the same time UHT is nearly unheard of.
If anything, OP should avoid shitty products in general, not because they’ve had this particular experience. Brand loyalty is stupid.

You will likely have to enter the bios/uefi setup with Del, F12 or something similar during boot and then search for the secure boot option and turn it off. Alternatively you may need to just properly set up the boot sequence and target the drive you want to actually boot from as the first boot option in the list.
Did you already install Linux Mint on a drive and your computer is now refusing to boot from it? Or are you actually at the step where you’ve made a bootable usb with the live iso and that’s what is not booting?
Balena Etcher work pretty well on windows to create a bootable USB live iso.

Tbh it actually doesn’t matter that much. There’s like a million different distros, but really there’s like 3 base distros (yes Linux nuts, this is an oversimplification) of Debian, Fedora, and Arch. Ubuntu has gotten a lot of hate lately for their choice of forced package manager, but it’s probably fine. It’ll matter way more to you what desktop environment you select. I’d recommend looking into Bazzite for gaming. It’s based on fedora and it has a bunch of gaming stuff built in, but also does great for anything else. It’s made to be the steamOS for anything not a steam deck. Go with KDE for a windows-like desktop experience.
The three base distros mentioned are ones that other distros use as their base
E.g.
Debian -> Ubuntu, Mint, Pop_OS!
Fedora -> Bazzite, Nobara
Arch -> EndeavourOS, Manjaro, CachyOS
While you can customize the base distros however you want, think of these derivate distros as various prebuilts.
Most distros come with a package manager that allows you to download (software) packages from a centralized repository. Similar to say Microsoft store. Ubuntu was dissed for Canonical (the creators of Ubuntu) forcing their own package manager into it, which had various issues, while there were already well established package managers available.
Desktop Environment (DE) is what you see on your screen. Various elements control how the task bar or app bar behaves or what it looks like, what windows are stylized like, and how they behave etc. For someone coming from Windows, Linux Mint’s Cinnamon DE or any distro with KDE will likely be most familiar experience, while those switching from MacOS, Gnome DE as the Fedora default is very similar.
Bazzite is a gaming focused distro based on Fedora.

There’s some information missing. What is saying “not bootable drive”? You should make a primary partition on the target drive.
Also, even if you don’t have tpm, you may have some sort of secure boot preventing non-windows drives from booting.
