I have recently bought a wifi adapter and when I plugged it it works fine in Linux as well as windows without installing any drivers. But the problem is it isn't working for a range like from my other room. But that's not because of adapter's incompatibility because it is working fine in windows. So...

I'm not sure that it's a good idea to host /home on an ntfs partition - never tried and didn't even know it was possible. No, it's not possible. Yesterday, I earsed my whole linux partition(still wondering how) and needed to reinstall it. At that moment, i tried to mount d drive to /home and found ...

If you're a "complete noob in both python and linux" I don't think you have any business messing with a Python packager.

Just my 2 cents.

yes, i agree.
but i have to install pip for installing modules like numpy or scipy.

I have seen that but unable to understand exactly what has to be done.

Hello, aditya02. I do think that your initial question, asked in the starting post of this thread, has been answered. Yes, my intial question has been answered. So which (other) question has not been answered? Please, tell us. Give us a chance to answer it. Regards, Karl My other question was that ...

...it's absent, apt install libc6-dev. Or probably even better, apt install build-essential...

I want to know why it is absent?
Is it a convention that mint developers do not provide these files in live session.
