If I install Linux on a USB stick using computer A, then plug it into computer B with different hardware and try to boot and work on it, should I generally expect it to work? Or should I rather accept that Linux, when installed (as opposed to using Live CD/USB), gets tied to the hardware and is generally not supposed to work seamlessly on different hardware?  If the answer is "it depends", let's narrow the question:   All hardware is x86. Nothing fancily customized, just stock laptops/desktops currently available on the market; Distros: latest OpenSUSE, Ubuntu or Cubes OS with default settings; No fancy software, just web/office etc.   The background behind this question is that I am deciding whether to have separate USB stick Linux installations for each computer I have, or just clone the same one.
I was given a laptop with a totally dead display. I do not want to pay to replace the broken display, but I would like to use the laptop as a server and connect to it via SSH to control it.  I have pulled out the internal hard drive from the broken laptop, and I want to install Debian GNU/Linux and the SSH server onto this HDD using a working Debian laptop.  However, the hardware in the two laptops is very different, and I am wondering what kind of problems I would run into when I plugged the drive back in to the laptop with the broken display because of this?  How would I make this work? What is the proper way for me to install a bootable copy of Linux onto a HDD that will be used by a computer with different hardware?
Deleting a suspicious malware (imklaunchagent) in Mac I have a MacBook Pro (macOS Mojave) laptop and have recently noticed a suspicious process in Activity Monitor with this name : imklaunchagent    I checked this folder: /System/Library/Frameworks/InputMethodKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/imklaunchagent and it seems imklaunchagent and its related files cannot be removed. I tried to remove it via Terminal and this message showed up: "Operation not permitted". However, in "Security and Privacy" of "System Preferences", I chose Terminal to have full disk access, still can't delete the file and the same message appears.  I installed the free version of Combo Cleaner and it detected other viruses, none of which are imklaunchagent. Is imklaunchagent a malware? How can it be deleted? How can I make a perfect sweep with bevel object in Bezier curve(3d) (Pipe) Animation Blending Basics Say I have a framework with characters that can run and walk and of course, stand still.

If so, what is the basic theory of how this works, and how would I implement it? As I navigate through physics stackexchange, I noticed .  Electrons radiate light when revolving around nucleus?

SEO of  in  header This is the profile of the object I'd like to wrap...    Here is the object's profile after being wrapped...    Is it possible to prevent the distortion? The following post here:  did not affect my object. It seemed very promising, maybe I'm missing something?  Note: I have applied the scale to both my object and curve. If $(Tx \mathbin{|} x) = 0$ for all $x$ then $T = 0$ Let $T$ be a linear operator on an inner product vector space $V$. I'd like to prove that if $$(Tx|x)=0 \quad \forall x \in V$$ then $T$ is the null operator. I can't figure out this proof using contradiction, do I have to choose an appropriate vector? What is the best backup strategy for macbook pro laptop? I have a lot of data on my macbook pro retina laptop and i am looking for the best backup strategy.  I have previously had a windows desktop with an external harddrive connected all of the time and a backup program that copied to the external harddrive incrementally.

How to input open intervals I want to write open and half-open intervals using the following notation:  ]a, b[ ]a, b] ]-∞, b]   When writing them just like that in the LaTeX source, the spacing doesn't come out right. For example, for this equation:   \(X = ]-\frac{π}{2}, +\frac{π}{2}[\)   the minus sign is typeset as a binary operator. I can solve this by surrounding the whole value in braces, but then the spacing around the equal sign is still not correct. For other combinations of intervals and operators, different spacing inconsistencies arise.  What is the correct and easy  way to input intervals in order to avoid having to take care of this at all?

How to add existing user to an existing group? I want to add the Apache user (www-data) to the audio group. I've read the man page for useradd, but I'm not having any luck. I'm running xubuntu 11.10. Here's what I'm doing:  $ sudo useradd -G audio www-data useradd: user 'www-data' already exists   If I leave out the -G option, bash, prints the help info for useradd:  $ sudo useradd  audio www-data Usage: useradd [options] LOGIN Options: -b, --base-dir BASE_DIR       base directory for the home directory...   It's not clear to me from the man page what options I should use to make this work. Where did the world go? I was playing on my main world when my laptop ran out of power.  I found a charger and woke it up, but Minecraft had crashed.  Now, it doesn't appear in the world selection screen!
