For anyone who might read this in the future, I've found the best solution to this problem. For some reason I didn't need to go through all these steps on my surface pro adobe programs, but my desktop gave me issues. So if you're still having issues after doing the following, read on.

If you just end the process in Task Manager, the pop-up comes back up eventually.

If you just delete the files in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\AdobeGCClient" or the folder itself, they may just recreate themselves every day or two.

If you delete/disable the Adobe services or schedules in Task Scheduler, those may just come back too.

To solve these issues, I decided to make a .bat file that deletes every file in that AdobeGCClient folder (exact location may depend on your Adobe install folder) and schedule it to do this every time I log on/turn on my pc. So far that has worked for the past few days.

For some reason, it is surprisingly hard to create a bootable Windows USB using macOS. These are my steps for doing so, which have worked for me in macOS Monterey (12.6.1) for Windows 10 and 11. After following these steps, you should have a bootable Windows USB drive.

1. Download a Windows disc image (i.e. ISO file)

You can download Windows 10 or Windows 11 directly from Microsoft.

2. Identify your USB drive

After plugging the drive to your machine, identify the name of the USB device using diskutil list, which should return an output like the one below. In my case, the correct disk name is disk2.

Running games through Steam's Proton is great. But what if there is a secondary exe or configuration application bundled with the game? How can you launch it if Steam itself only launches the game?

Simply run this command in a terminal:

cd /path/to/steam/steamapps/compatdata/20920/pfx

STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH="/path/to/steam/steamapps/compatdata/20920" WINEPREFIX=$PWD \
    "$HOME/.steam/root/steamapps/common/Proton 5.0/proton" run ./drive_c/path/to/custom_application.exe

Launching jupyter from tensorman (Pop!_OS 20.04)

Source: pop-os/tensorman#10 (comment)

When launching a container, be sure to supply the port mappings argument to map the port from the container to the host.

tensorman run -p 8888:8888 --gpu --python3 --jupyter  bash

Within the container, you may start the Jupyter notebook with
