Oh man I'm on the road and won't be back in time. Do you know who runs it or has a legit servicePhoenix Linux Users Group
phxlinux.org
They have an 'install fest' coming right up on the 4th of May.
Why the panic?....Just go to the next one.Oh man I'm on the road and won't be back in time.
No panic just disappointment. And it's virtual not in person so does not helpWhy the panic?....Just go to the next one.
I appreciate your intention but I seriously need in person help for 3 laptops. I've installed Ubuntu and it was not simple with obstacles I had and have and was never fully functional because I couldn't complete all my needs. It's not possible for me to do a back and forth virtually as I am on the road as a driver, my time is limited and am using Hotspot etc etc etc. I would like to pay someone for the in person service of installing mint, choosing desktop , app alternatives, VPN, installing WordPress and answering questions along the way. Trust me I've watched all the instructions online and made multiple attempts but I have too many restrictions to keep trying and failing on my ownInstalling "linux" (mint, ubuntu) is so utterly easy that if its just that I doubt you will need much help.
Is there anything we can help you with in particular?
Distributions like Mint and Ubuntu are specificallly geared towards end users and to be easy to understand. Just ask us, I'm sure we can do it without meeting in person.
there is a german company my company partners with (we only do business to business) called linuxguides.de. They sadly don't have a german site, but you can translate it with google (just click this link: google translated english version of linuxguides.de).I appreciate your intention but I seriously need in person help for 3 laptops.

@KGIII is actually selling hosting for wordpress, everything with a graphical webui. If you want to spend money give it to him, he will set this up for you for an extra fee.
They would be worth contacting, they have been around for 25 years.
I appreciate all the suggestions but I am not exaggerating when I say I am strapped for time with being an otr driver and that I've had multiple obstacles in trying to accomplish all the tasks I listed. I've consumed hours and hours of instruction on all of these things online and have a good grasp of all of it but again I get stumped by my laptops and and time restraints. I can't believe people aren't making a killing helping people needing in person help on here for Linux especially as long as it's been around. I am not a fan of the virtual world. That being said I found someone to help me in person.If you can install windows, you can install linux mint. Actually if you can install windows, you are already an expert at installing Linux Mint.
I tried to install WIndows about 3 years ago and failed. It was hard xD It flippin bluescreened all the time xD
