Hello everyone, my first post...
I’ve been struggling with Linux for over four years. It’s been tough, mostly I think (and hope), because of hardware issues, specifically cheap Lenovo Thinkpads. My e11 could hardly run Windows, leave alone Linux. And my x230 also has problems.
On my recent trip to Florida from the DR, I acquired a Clevo N141ZU, dual drive: 250 Gb SSD and a 1Tb HHD. I have the Intel i7 processor with 32 Gb of RAM installed. The computer runs in UEFI mode.
Currently the Clevo has Ubuntu/Mate installed as root on the SSD. There is nothing on home, the HHD.
After several distros, I settled on Zorin 15 and want it as root and I already have the ISO on a live stick. Zorin will be the only operating system installed.
I’ve done a bit of reading on the process involved, setting up the dual drives. Nothing I’ve found is specific to Zorin but they talk about a special tool in Ubuntu that supposedly makes the process easy. I don’t know if this extends to Zorin. Also, I installed Gparted if that helps.
I’m still a newbie when it comes to Linux. Is there any specific tutorials that will walk me, step by step, through this process? With 32 Gb of RAM, I figure a small SWAP file of about 6 or 8 Gigs should be fine without worrying about hibernation issues.
I have a few other questions about working with a dual hard drive system but those can wait.
Any thoughts, assistance, encouragement, and direction, most appreciated.
