(...) Windows 10 installation media (...)

i dont know what that is!!! i dont know how to get that!!! i dont understand why no one's telling me what it is or how to get to it!!!!!!!

[Melooon]

i dont know what that is

Sometimes it's helpful if you search things yourself

I will admit this is a confusing term though! "Installation media" is anything you install from; e.g. A Windows install DVD, a USB stick with the Windows installer on it etc; posts before this have already given you pretty good instructions on how to make a USB stick with Windows on it (aka installation media)! (Take a look at the first links I posted ^^)

i'm just gonna pay someone to do this for me. the people on reddit think i'm a troll so i don't think im figuring this out myself..... i'd think i was a troll too :(
thank you everynyan...

I don't think you're a troll I think you are trying to do something that's way outside your knowledge and you're really struggling with it, but I am always impressed by someone who's willing to try things at the edge of their limits!

That said! I don't think you don't know how to research, study and solve a problem very well - that's something that everyone has to learn their own way and it's always extremely frustrating Asking for help is only useful if you are willing to study and understand what's being said and then use that information to aid your own research; when I say "search" I really mean "research"; that involves reading documentation, looking up blogs, using google (or even GPT these days), then trying things, making mistakes and learning from mistakes.

Asking on this forum and Reddit can help set you on the right path, but asking and expecting to be told exactly what to do is not gonna help!

Your problem is solvable, it's well within your reach, and you clearly have the desire to get it done; so you can totally do it But there is a lot to learn along the way, and I suppose the question for you is if you wanna put in that effort and learn how to make it work.

and you clearly have the desire to get it done

not gonna lie, i'd be fine with *gestures vaguely* all of this if it wasn't for roblox. i literally only want to go back to windows to play roblox. i'm aware of wine and grapefruit but the wine available on the kde app store doesn't even run? i tried to install it through the terminal and didn't work either so i tried to install grapefruit and the documentation page doesn't have my distro on it, so i tried running the ubuntu installation commands and it shut off my laptop and i thought i bricked it. anyways i didnt brick it but didnt try again. i thought of distro-hopping again but then my usb drives were locked???? i couldnt acess them? not on kubuntu nor linux. anyways i forgot what we were talking about so im posting this without even checking

oh yeah. we were talking about how i want someone to hold my hand through the entire process. sure. but i think i might as well just shut off my laptop for an inderteminate amount of time because i. actually i forgot what we were talking about again and

If you only wanted to switch to windows for that, steams proton tool is way better than wine for running games on linux. If you dont have steam, https://repo.steampowered.com/steam/

Once in steam, go to the library and add the roblox launcher to your steam library and launch it from there to use proton instead of wine.

[egbert]

anyways my entire thing is that i post the weirdest things without an hint of shame (clown husbandry roleplaying and acting like everyone's in on it, openly admitting that i dont know how to use a computer, blogging about dumpster diving, claiming that curses are real and i'm cursed for life, getting way too invested into twitter roleplay account character arcs, etc, so even if i didnt reach my goal of like, getting back to windows, at least i did some shameless posting

OOh that would be cool but idk about using actual mspaint on linux but i found this which might scratch the itch

I'm sorry. I had thought that since you had apparently managed to get a Linux installed you might be capable of figuring out the rest on your own.

[egbert]

guys.
i thought i had finally did it. and then guess what happened,

it gave me some error and i searched for an answer and none of it worked,. i give up        im just gonna get a new laptop i dont give a fuuuuckkkkkkkkk <- i can swear on the forum, yes?

[egbert]

i acidentally uninstalled the. OS. guys?

[Melooon]

I think you’ve gotten more entertainment value out of this $20 laptop than most people get out of a brand new games console
