          Ubuntu 18.04 defaults to using a swap file instead of the previous method of having a dedicated swap partition. This makes it easier to partition new installations of 18.04 than it was before.



          Assuming you are going to do a fresh installation of 18.04, and also assuming you aren't trying to dual-boot with this same drive, here's what you should do:



          1) Boot to a Ubuntu 18.04 installer (probably using a usb drive)



          2) Delete the three existing partitions from your hard drive /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, and /dev/sda3.



          3) Create one new partition /dev/sda1 that uses all the available space. Make the new partition primary (not extended), format it as ext4, and have it mount the root of the system (/).



          4) Install ubuntu, selecting to put the bootloader on /dev/sda

I've never really liked "Adventurer" as a job, and would like my story to have a kind of unlikely-hero vibe. besides the common "Traveling merchant", what kinds of artisans or professionals in fantasy would have a reason to move around the world (or at least visit other settlements)? First time posting, so let me know what to improve. Thanks!

I do not come from a particularly wealthy family, (very low middle class), and was only able to afford my education via school loans/scholarships and working low-wage jobs, with no support from my family or anyone else. I realize some scholarship/loan programs extend into grad school. But I don't think those cover all costs. Now I'm lucky enough to have a decent-paying salary in industry, along with benefits and living on my own, and I'm thinking one day (sooner rather than later) I'd like to try my hand at research or continue my degree, but these things cost money, in addition to my regular living expenses. I read posts here often about academic people being in positions of choosing between these crazy research grad programs, some in Japan, or Ireland (while they currently live in the U.S./U.K.) then moving around between countries/universit...
