Some minor issues with POP! OS
Some minor issues with POP! OS
I watched the video about Linux (link: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV17U4y1H7w1 release in 2021/7/29). I installed Windows on an HDD and now I want to switch to Linux without losing any data. Here are some issues I face: 1) I can't type passwords in the terminal when running sudo commands, whether with a hardware or software keyboard. 2) I can't create a Steam library folder because the disk is set to read-only. I also can't access the Steam library folder even though I already have one. 3) How can I use Windows apps that are already installed on my disk, like Genshin Impact and Plutonium T6/IW5?
you can't see the password as you type it, this is by design. just type the right password and hit enter, it will work. You need to install the ntfs-3g driver to mount an ntfs drive without it being read only. You should also check that the target folder is owned by your user and has write access, you can do this with ls -la <folder path> You can't without some sort of compatibility layer like wine, even then there's no guarantee.
Sure, just download the Wine installation package and run the provided .exe file.
For exploring games on the Epic Games Store, consider using the HeroicGamesLauncher. It integrates Proton for seamless Epic game access without extra setup. You might want to check if Genshin Impact functions on Linux due to potential anti-cheat restrictions, though most offline or single-player titles should work.
