yes because i didn't know how to answer most of them which is why i was asking so many questions.
Asking questions is absolutely fine, but in order to answer them, we need to ask you questions too - which we need you to answer
but none of this works i need to wipe/restore my laptop, but i can't do that yet
I'd recommend trying to get other apps / games working first, if no D3D games work then there's very little chance that you'll be able to get D3D programming working - and if you're not familiar with D3D, then that won't help at all.
Asking about Ubuntu is also absolutely fine, but you should start a new thread in the appropriate forum (
GDNet Lounge seems like the best forum to me).
