want to clone my debian install so i can test updating to trixie

I would recommend cloning the entire disk to another disk of equal or greater size before, best procedure is to boot to a USB installation, run Gnome-Disk-Utility, create a disk image onto a second larger disk, then restore that image to a third disk which is equal or greater in terms of capacity to your bookworm disk, then unplug your orignal bookwork disk amd then attempt to boot from that third disk (fingers crossed)

If you're comfortable with the dd command that's another route to take but if you're not paying attention you can very easily wipe your own disk!

How can I delete the Windows 11 operating system from my laptop, which has a dual boot system?

Step 1: make a backup / clone the disk

Step 2: double check the backup

Step 3: Assuming you've got a grub bootloader, boot into Linux Mint, use GParted or Gnome-Disk-Utility

Step 4: Identify your NTFS Windows 11 partition, the utility should show if it is mounted or not (it should not be mounted unless you added it to /etc/fstab

Step 5: resize your Linux mint partition (ext4fs), & make sure you don't accidentally move the partition

Step 6: sudo update-grub to remove the entries for Windows 11 since it doesn't exist anymore

More info on if you've got an HDD vs SSD, MBR vs GPT partitioning, or a screenshot of your partition table from either of the disk utilities in step 3 would help us help you

Why?

~2007, Compiz wobbly windows and the desktop cube was my gateway via Ubuntu, after a few years shifted over to Debian with XFCE

I've found that if you've got a VGA analog output port on your motherboard or GPU, it'll output to that by default; so any digital (HDMI, DP, DVI) interface that is powered or plugged in after the fact will have to be toggled with a hotkey to mirror or extend the monitors

Disaster is nearing. Mass displacement. Mass starvation. Mass death. It is all imminent. Do you understand?

Here's one:

Below is an article on crypto mining, not AI, but I'd wager a guess and say you certainly can draw parallels from it:

Also, whatever the source of green/renewable energy is, it takes a couple years to offset the manufacturing of said energy source:

So even if there's no direct source on that 10 year claim, it probably isn't too farfetched!
