Hi Skybird, an IT friend of mine together with advise from Rockin Robbins have had Ubuntu installed on this dual booting with Windows 10 Pro. I am not good at this so although Mint may be better I am stuck with this setup.
I'm in for the long haul, every now and then I get a break through and advance that bit more.
The only real hassle is when an application is installed where does it go? and since they are not exe files I'm finding it hard to figure out how to work with them, what ever they are!!!
I had purchased 2 books online and both turned out to be old (version 12.04), nothing like this version, I have now purchased a book for this version and slowly working through it, maybe I am jumping the gun a bit and should turn the pc off.
I am quite familiar with MSDOS and even better the CP/M systems. (showing my age again) I preferred these but that was many years ago.
The book I am currently reading is "Getting Started With Ubuntu 16.04".
Yes I guess eventually I will join an Ubuntu group.
