  • Thanks. I did read that from the boot drive it would be slower, and missing some features. Im looking to go slow so thats fine by.

    You kept windows on another drive, like a hard drive in the comp? Or a thumb drive?

    Glad to hear the transition was smooth. That seems to be the general opinon. Its just sometimes reading conversations between people who have been on linux awhile, or maybe work in IT or programming, I get a little nervous. Kernals and directories and other things that I know are words but have no idea what the mean in the computer world.


  • Yea im about to switch myself. Been looking at suggestions and stuff, probably gonna start with Mint myself.

    Many different sources advise putting it on a flashdrive first and loading from there, to start. Make sure I like it.

    But the end goal, eventually, would be to remove windows from the comp entirely, right? Eventually installing my chosen distro as the OS on the computer itself? Does that sound about right?













  • Yea, one of the two lanes is likely closed for a lenghty stretch. So someone with a stop/slow sign at either end of the closure, who are on the phone or walkie talkie with each other. Bunch of peole go one way on the open road, then a bunch of people go the other way on the open stretch.

    Probably hella annoying for locals as its big delay. But im a city boy and only see these on road trips, so Im usually in no rush, a good mode, and able to enjoy the scenery.
