  • This joke is not feasible in French.

    The word to translate “what” in a sentence is “quoi”, but for this question we’ll use the contraction “que + est + ce” (that + is + it) -> “Qu’est-ce qui commence par un W et termine par un T ?”.

    So we may say Q and E but caused by the contraction of the 2 E it doesn’t end with a E in this sentence anymore.

    Another way to say it, more literarily “Quel mot commence…” (what word starts…) but it breaks the affirmative way of reading.

    To approach the English way : “Quoi commence par un Q et termine par un I.”. Some child would fall into the question trap but no adult due to the fact that it’s not a proper interrogative word, the questions you can do with “quoi” are : “quoi?” (what?), “De quoi tu parles ?” (what are you talking about?) and "À quoi tu penses ? " (What are you thinking about?).




  • Hi, To try a Linux, you’ll need a usb stick drive, at least 2go, then find a distro to try, for that, my advice is to check the ranked list on https://distrowatch.com/
    Most of them have different “flavor” (aka desktop manager), gnome, xfce, cinnamon… They are consistent from a distro to another so think about it as distinct feature.
    To start the ISO, you can use Ventoy, on which you copy the iso files of several distro at once. https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html
    You may need to chance the order of booting of your laptop to start from the usb stick, depending of the age of the bios/Uefi, it’s just a key press during the boot or on windows keep Shift pressed while clicking on the reboot start menu button.
    When you get to the started distro you wanna try, you may check if all the hardware is operational (except for nvidia closed driver which need a full install) you can install software to find the tools you need, browse web to find answers to the new questions you’ll have, everything you do there is volatile and disappear with restart, so it’s a cool playground use it to learn as much as you can.
    And after trying, breaking, and finding the coolest distro for you, you can install on your internal drive.
    I play a lot on Linux, ark, genshin, civilisation, palworld… As easy as, install steam, go to settings, compatibility, check the square, and install your games, enjoy!
