    I finally did it. Windows in the trash!

    Have you tried MINT LMDE6, it is a tad lighter than Mint 21 [Ubuntu base] so it's slightly quicker [not a lot] but it runs fine on this 2010 intel T series CPU and 4gb ram

    Intalling Linux Mint partition Issue

    Barry, windows needs a minimum of around 40gb [more the better] mint need a min 30 gb [the more the merrier] if you have a hard drive of say 500 gb or more, when you install mint, you will be asked how you wish to install, replace windows, install alongside or something else, choose to install...

    GRUB Rescue:Need help from someone with patience

    as you have little or no knowledge of Linux then yes a VM/VB will be a lot safer and easier to re-install when it goes wrong, or another method would be using a USB pen-drive with persistence

    GRUB Rescue:Need help from someone with patience

    Unfortunately Developers doc's are treated by many in the same ways as internet terms and conditions, a pain to read waste time reading [especially as I have been using computers for 5/10/20/40 years]. I have got in the habit of reading distribution docs and download notes, so I understand...

    Internet on Linux Ubuntu

    That ,if memory serves me, is a TPlink wireless router! Provided it is working, connected to the Internet. And powered up, there should not be a problem [however hard-wire from router to machine is better] the connection will depend on the wi-fi chip/dongle in use. At this stage I guess it will...

    not so good code/examples

    This forum I feel would suite best, start with a short blog as to your thoughts and intentions and remember to invite other members to join in. Be prepared for other members to disagree as some commands are not always bad but just distribution specific.

    GRUB Rescue:Need help from someone with patience

    I am sorry to tell you, that you should have read the KALI doc's [link on the download page] BEFORE attempting to install and use it, Kali is not for beginners Kali is not for anyone who is not experienced in Linux and the use of the Linux terminal [usually around 3 yrs of daily use] Kali is...

    Difference between Restart Cinnamon and Restart via Menu

    Re-start Cinnamon only re-starts your DE [desktop environment] [first thing to try if the DE locks up or dose strange things] Re-start from the main menu will re-start the complete system

    Intel Blames Motherboard Makers — BIOSes Disable Thermal and Power Protection, causing issues

    OK so this is not specific to any make of wi-fi, If you are installing Linux in a VM/VB [or using WSL] then all control over the external connection to the internet will be controlled by the host [windows in this case] OS., to give a VM/VB it own direct access, you need to change the parameters...

    Intel Blames Motherboard Makers — BIOSes Disable Thermal and Power Protection, causing issues

    A modern intel development, solid reliable BUT still very much considered an entry level CPU for laptops, [to give you some idea the I3-1005G1 from 2019/20 has a similar performance as the i5-6300U, from early 2015]
