[Recommendation Request] What's a good entry level right angle flashlight?

You’d have to reconsider your aversion to the swivel head but I love my Nicron N9. It’s got 3 or brightness levels you just click to scroll through. The fact that the head swivels makes it a lot easier to pocket. I’m a tech and work in a lot of dimly lit places. The magnetic base makes it easy to slap it to something and use it as a work light too. I really really like this light and it’s pretty cheap too.

Graphics card help

The closest thing I am seeing is settings > Video > Primary display. My choices are "Auto" and "Intel HD Graphics" when I switch to "Intel HD Graphics" I get the same behavior. I believe the intel option is the integrated graphics option.

Graphics card help

Fixed it in the dumbest possible way. Read somewhere to try turning off UEFI settings and see if legacy boot would make it work. So I turned off all UEFI settings and enabled all the legacy options. Shut it down and put the card back in. Hit power and nothing. No signs of life. get filled with panic and realize that I've grown impatience messing with this all day. I didn't unplug it didn't wait very long and maybe it wasn't shut all the way down when I though it was. Figure I just roached something important on the board. Pulled the battery pulled the jumper that I think clears the CMOS. I'm not savy so im not certain that that is what you are supposed to do. Watched some youtube and came back put the battery and jumper back it. Computer booted to scary screen with red text about no bootable drives found. There was an option for settings which took me to the BIOS menu, factory reset, turned UEFI settings back on and then it booted straight into Mint after restart. Got curious and threw the card back in and lickety split it works. Kinda hate not knowing why.

Now I have another thing to figure on. Now it skips the Dell logo and boots straight into Mint. If I hold F2 to get into BIOS it doesn't boot nor if I hold F12 to select my drive. That's a problem for later.
