You have a few choices:

• Minecraft launcher (official) - Allows you to play vanilla MC.

• Prisim launcher - allows you to download & play mod packs from several sources (newer FTB packs have to be loaded up in the FTB app first before being imported).

• FTB app - allows you to play basically any FTB modpack.

The first should show up in the software store and the second two have install instructions on their websites.

You have to load it up in the FTB app then import it into Prism.

That’s why I stopped buying from the big brand manufacturers.

So many “system updates” that come out just before the new version is announced & suddenly your device is glitchy, slow and having constant problems.

I have been buying Nokia phones ever since. They aren’t the fastest, have huge storage, nor all the flashy bling of the “flagship” products but over the years I have found that I don’t need them.

Hell I even have a digital audio player so I can get better quality audio in a device smaller than most phones (plus I am not paying to rent music using streaming services).

Have you tried running the laptop down until it shuts off then charging it?

Install RockBox onto it and continue using it as a music player.

It’s not so much both computers being able to access it.

From what I have experienced Timeshift tends to lock a drive when it is doing a backup.

If computer 1 is doing a backup and computer 2 tries to start it’s backup it may fail without you noticing.

Giving each computer their own partition on the drive should alleviate the problem.

A partition for each one the drive should work alright, but it may turn to custard if they both try to access the drive at the same time.

To be honest I haven’t had the need or the time to delve that deeply into how Timeshift works sorry.

You should be able to highlight the ones that you want to remove then click on the delete button.

From what I understand is that each backup is just the difference between the original backup and the current system.

Have a look at XNview MP

I can definitely say that it is avery good photo management program.

I am only using about 20% of it’s features and it is my go to image software.

What I do is start up Firefox first to create all the first start files then close it and delete everything in the Firefox folder then copy across everything from the original pc.

Seems to work alright.

I have had several distros working on the X205TA (I even had a how to guide written up on reddit years ago).

But I was not able to get a usable system (i.e. being able to use the system without waiting on average 20-120 sec for the device to process an action).

Life has gotten to the point that the effort to do so is better directed into activities that I would enjoy.

To be brutally honest about this, your best bet is to recycle the unit.

The problems of trying to get a distro to install properly, have all the hardware working right and have a usable experience are not worth the minimal upsides.

I have an ASUS X205TA which is a similar unit and after trying for countless hours to get a usable device out of it was not going to be worth the headaches plus if I was getting paid for the time I spent on it I could have brought an off lease laptop with better specs.

I have an LTS kernel as a backup in case something doesn’t work with my main kernel.

Just recently I had an issue where my main kernel had a bug where snap’s can’t start up, so I just restarted into the LTS kernel to use it then restarted back into my main kernel.

If you can, get yourself a wireless access point instead.

You can connect the computer by ethernet to the access point that then connects to the WiFi network.

By having the device separate you can have it situated away from the computer for better connection and the computer only sees a wired connection.

Plus they tend to be more stable than dongles.

Try going into a menu first.

This is why you back up your data!

I use both Timeshift and Lucky Backup.

Timeshift is setup to back up the entire OS and user data and fire off a backup when updating (onto an internal drive).

Lucky Backup has been setup to do a one way sync of my user folders (doc’s, download, pictures, videos etc) onto an external drive.

Try going into a menu first so the game isn’t stealing the mouse and keyboard focus.
