Windows

I’ve been using gimp for years as a Photoshop alternative. Tons of tutorials, and I’ve always been able to do what I needed.

Its great that there are alternatives for those who want them!

I will attempt this. Thank you!

Password prompt on boot load. No monitor and keyboard plugged in, and im assuming i cant SSH until LVM password is entered.

I’m smart enough to know you’re looking for a calculated estimate, yet dumb enough to add “I did it” for you to add to your count. Happy counting!

Thank you! I’m a new user to linux. Went through 4 distros this month until this one, that doesn’t seem janky and runs my games at a decent FPS. Having to reconfigure my monitors each reboot was a dealbreaker for me. Your simple instructions worked flawlessly, and i’ve had 3 reboots without having to change my settings.

I’m not sure if linux is my new forever home yet, but this definitely helps!

I used signal for 2 years. Only got 2 friends to join. Dropped it when they removed SMS. I’ve settled for Facebook messenger lite and my social life is booming again.

Thank you to everyone’s support. I did not expect as much support as you all provided. I’m happy to announce a huge success! Ubuntu is installed, I’ve overcome several hurdles, and have a few more to go. I’ll try to post in next week to summarize my progress and challenges.

I read this earlier and you convinced me to try Ubuntu. Initially not a fan of the way it looked, but customization seems limitless. It’s been less than 10 hours, but it’s already starting to look like ‘mine’. I’m sure that will evolve plenty in time.

Yes exactly. I switched BIOS to load ubuntu, and it’s working perfectly! I needed to flip back to windows for some info and it was a breeze to reboot between both.

Good to know, thanks!

Sorry what i meant was the NVMe will be used only for Linux. My existing HD with Windows will be untouched. No partitions needed.
