Hi there, I started chatting on this site about a year ago and then I started school. That has pretty much taken up much of my time. I still mess around with Linux for fun on my free time. My main computer has Windows and Manjaro linux. I originally had plain Arch Linux but it was a pain in the...

Thanks man.I love fighting with Arch. it helps me feel like I know what I am doing again. It turns out that Deepin is running again. You never know with th Chinese, lol. I was considering deleting arch but to tell you the truth I love it. I spent days installing it. I spent to much time working...

First thing you need to do is go into your BIOS (this is when your computer boots) by pressing F10 on Acer F2 on Dell. Not sure on the others, search the internet. Disable smartboot. allow boot from usb. Done :)

I have had issues with uefi and secure boot installations. Boot loader issues, os-prober issues. Thats where I get confused. I Prefer the old system. Shit, I learned on DOS 5.0. I'm dating myself, I'm new to this group and I'm drunk lol. I have to say its way more friendly here than the arch bbs.

I would have to agree with poorguy that Linux Mint is probably your best bet. I used Mint Cinnamon off and on for quite awhile now but recently changed to Arch Linux with Cinnamon Desktop (I don't recommend for people new to Linux). During my time trying different distros I ran into MX linux...
