I have tried installing several different linux OSs onto my dell latitude 3180. I didn't like how slow the thing had become on windows so figured a linux OS would work well as I've used it on other laptops. I have tried installing several different flavors (ubuntu, mint, puppy, etc.) and it won't stick. What I mean is that I can use a bootable USB, which works, and install the OS just fine, but when I restart after the install and pull out the USB the computer can't find anything to boot. So I guess it's basically saying that there is no OS on the hard drive. I'm not sure what to do about this and I don't want to put it back on windows as it is horribly slow. I've tried searching if other people have put linux on a dell latitude 3180 but found nothing. If there's more info I need to give let me know and I'll do my best. Any help I get would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
