From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hey guys. I'm new to Linux and I'm running Linux Mint 21.2 Cinnamon. Yesterday I have f*cked up. I was testing things in users and geve myself standart priveledges insted of Admin ones I had from beggining and then restarted PC. I then tried log back into users tab and change myself back to Admin but even tho the password is correct It says that it is not. /So at this point there is only one user in PC who has standart privliedges and no Admin./ I then tried to access root via terminal and this time It said that I don't have permision to do that. And this is where I'm at right now. Please help get back my admin privliedges.

Edit: Issue is fixed. I started GRUB and changed my password which fixed the whole issue. Once again big Thank you to everyone who gave me tips and also big thank you to the guy who started posting about rowing machines. You all wonderful.

you can say fuck on the internet but that's all the help im qualified to give you unless you would like for me to extol the benefits of owning a rowing machine

I’m here for the rowing machine benefits. Lay them on me, brother.

Not OP, just an admirer, but:

  1. If you have the cheese for a WaterRower, it’s quiet enough that you can haul ass in your studio apartment for 90 minutes without bothering your neighbors
  2. Rowing burns a fabulous amount of calories with the smallest possible footprint - you take up a rectangle of space for the entirety of your workout and at the end you’re still exhausted
  3. Full-body workout baby
  4. Naturally builds a functional-looking body, not too grotesque, very 3D
  5. As long as you keep it clean, no one will notice you’re not using your rowing machine - it’s pretty obvious when you’re not using the 32 kg kettlebell in the corner
  6. There are cool apps out there for rowing machines, but without the prohibitive expense of Peloton

Hnnngggg yeah this is the shit I come here for. Now just need to toss out my couch to make room in my tiny ass studio for a rowing machine.

I know I said I didn't need no rowing machine facts but I changed my mind xD Good summary.
