  installing on bare metal means like the way windows 10 is installed right now; the main operating system insallted on the hard drive directly in control of the hardware.

  backup any files you want to save from win10 to an external drive, usb, or cloud storage. download rufus or ventoy and follow either tool’s instructions on making a bootable usb with the mx linux iso on it.

  reboot and hit whatever key the bios screen gives you for boot menu, you may have to go to bios settings and set boot order there to let you boot from usb first before the hard drive if there is no boot menu or boot order key listed.

  now you’re in a liveusb ms linux environment. it won’t overwrite anything on the hard drive until you get to the step formatting the disk in the installer, so you can ignore the installer and poke around and try it out before commiting to erasing windows. shutting down and taking out the usb or changing the boot order back will let you boot back into windows.

  good luck!

  install mx on the bare metal instead of a vm of it on win10, you’ll prolly even be able to run a win10 vm with better performance than native. also use zram.

  it is body shaming.

  neither trump nor his followers see or are hurt by your comment one little bit. you’re just telling everyone here who does see it that you think being fat is morally bad and people should be publicly made fun of for it. that’s body shaming. that’s the kind of shit these nazis do. why would you want to emulate nazis when fighting against nazis?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How long after starting Vitamin D supplements should you notice results?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  i have lived most of my life playing as a kid and working as an adult outside, outside right now, even. i have to take supplements. you don’t actually get much vit d from sunlight, the vast majority comes from your diet and some people like me need more from supplements no matter what you eat. and yes the supplements (10k to 15k iu a day for a few months) got my levels up.

  apparently it takes a while (weeks to months) for the level in your system to build up and takes a while for it to deplete so once my blood test numbers got back to normal i stopped and now i just take that amount a day for a few weeks a couple times a year when i notice i’ve been sluggish and more moody lately. and yes this was all prescribed and explained by my doctor a few years ago. the ld50 (lethal dose for 50% of pop) is 50k iu a day for over 6 months, and you get kidney stones as warning signs long before then, so as long as you stay below like 20k to 25k a day and don’t do it for long term, it’s pretty safe to take a higher does like that.

  also regarding your lower comment saying none work for you, you might have just not been taking a high enough dose like me. at first doc prescibed 5k iu daily but 3 months later my levels were still too low so they explained all that above. also some brands do seem to be garbage. i don’t wanna say a brand but of the ones i’ve tried any dissolvable white compressed powder ones are garbage and taste awful and the gel cap style ones work and don’t taste like anything. you might also should look up specific foods with higher vit d content and eat more of those, but i tried that in those first 3 months with the supplements and it didn’t seem to make much of a difference.

  i hate the coastline ‘paradox’ and every other ‘paradox’ that’s just a missing variable. “if we measure with a big resolution it’s a smaller number of units and a small resolution is a bigger number!?” that’s not a paradox. that’s just how that variable works always. it’s not confusing or interesting at all.

  “if someone is doing that” but they aren’t bud. not a single person ever. why are you bending over backwards to make a nazi big fat lie seem reasonable?

  if someone were jamming a big red hot metal rod covered in ants and jelly into their eyes over and over screaming they hate trump so much it made them do this, that would be bad, but the thing is: fucking no one is doing anything like that so what the fuck am i talking about?
