I don't think you need a new machine. That one should be more than capable. I'm currently using a first-version Asus Chromebox with the BIOS reflashed to run Linux. That one I am considering replacing, but probably not with something as pricey as yours. Debian does not need the newest and shiniest hardware.

Newegg is an online retailer selling electronic and computer parts and machines. Sort of like Amazon, but specializing in computer stuff. I'm in the US, and have no idea what stores are in Australia.

I have several close friends in the US, one couple in Las-Vegas / Henderson, in Miami, in Washington
Where are you?

Will see if my current machine behaves itself for a week or two, I too, hope that there is no need for me to replace it

Baja Oklahoma is a term used for "south of Oklahoma", or Texas. I'm way down on the GUlf coast, anxiously eyeing the potential hurricanes moving across the Atlantic.

I love the movie... But, you still didn't tell me your name

Alex

No, I didn't.

Some of us prefer to remain anonymous. I am totally anonymous online, as best as I can be to the average person.

Absolutely your prerogative mate

None of the 3 messages in the screenshot are consequential. They certainly don't warrant a reinstall or even new hardware.

You need to learn to trust your Linux system.
It breaks only when you mess with it.

Ondoho,

IN most cases, I want to trust it, my problem is that in half of cases, I have no idea what I am doing - at this stage... There are times that I get to try and install something through command line, it goes well untill it comes up with some error that I have no idea how to fix.

Then, what was already installed, is left there hanging consuming storage space... How do I get rid of that?

Thanks
Alex

You can use the GUI package manager instead of the command line to install and remove packages. If you do want to use the command line, you can remove installed packages with That removes the package and its configuration files. In the package manager, just select the package and choose 'Mark for removal', then click on Apply. IIRC, I haven't used the Synaptic in awhile, but it will be at least very similar to that.

Then don't mess with it!
Have a separate install that's for messing/testing/trying things out/getting aquainted.
Judging by your recent threads, you have been doing so much I'm not surprised things start breaking on your current install (not your hardware).

2 things:
1. Always run 'apt autoremove' after every install
2. Always clear packages from apt's archive (that's a persistent apt setting that can be set through synaptic, or websearch for a direct edit solution)

BTW, we are getting wildly off-topic here.
It would be better for the forums, and also a good exercise for you, to separate your topics into, well, clear topics.

Yes, we are getting off the topic...
My problem is when I try to install something that has several steps, the 1s-2 first steps go ok, it fails on the 3rd... So - what can I remove?

Thanks again
Alex
