It depends on what you want to do with Ubuntu. For casual programming and learning any of these will work on a decent configuration. For machine learning and the likes you are better with a dual boot, or a cheap virtual host provider.

For general learning, I’d personally go with Hyper-V as it’s a type-1 hypervisor and would have much lower latencies compared to VMWare or VirtualBox. It comes along with Windows 10 and creating a VM is easy. You will need some extra configurations to get started with features like fullscreen guest OS, but Hyper-V is more mature now and there is plenty of documentation available.

Once you change the firefox shortcut icon, unpinning and pinning it back to start menu will automatically update the tiles. This is better than replacing the png files inside the program folder as an update will revert it to the latest iteration. Good post nevertheless! Thanks!

Without password protection, you can’t stop anyone from copying a PDF. You can still convert the text elements as images and embed them back into PDF, but that cant stop others printing it and copying it.

It is possible. If you search the play store, you can find many companion apps for foobar.

You can email the books from your Calibre library to your Kindle email id. Settings can be found under connect and share.

Bulk syncing may take up time, but that is the only way to go.

This is more likely due to a corrupted user profile. Did you restart and try logging in again?

Glad to help!

Amazon has a Send to Kindle application that you can use for larger files. Once installed, you will be able to find the option in the right click context menu.

If you are logged in with your Amazon account, you will find your device’s email under the Devices tab.

You are welcome. All credits to this guy.

Before you try a fresh install, try this: Change your folder options to show hidden files. Check whether if you have a folder named SQM here C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files and delete it.

After creating a new account, try copying all the contents from the default folder to your new user folder and restart.

Login back with your old account and follow these steps:

1. Type regedit in the search and open Regedit
2. Find this key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
3. There should be some folders starting with S-1-5. Click on each folder and find if any of it has the ProfileImagePath with your new user account name.
4. If there are two folders, rename the one with .bak extension to be the main one
5. Find keys RefCount and State and set the value to 0 by double clicking on them.
6. Restart and check now.

You’re welcome.

Try WinCDEmu. It mounts a bin file perfectly. You might need to manually associate bin files to open with WinCDEmu after the install.
