    Drive setup

    1.) The UEFI install is harder on Arch, but it doesn't look troublesome. I'm gonna keep watching tutorials though. 2.) My SSHD doesn't have that SSD portion listed. However, I've read it is Flash accelerated. Meaning the flash saves the locations of files. So that when I load a file, the flash...

    My motherboard runs UEFI. Also, I'm custom building this PC. It's not yet finished, as I don't have a GPU or PSU yet.

    Drive setup

    Alright, a few changes. Firstly, My motherboard came in, and I completely forgot I only have 4 Sata ports in my excitement that I had extra drives. So as a result, I have to drop drive y: So this leaves me with d:, x:, z:. Secondly, I realized that the reason I wanted Ubuntu was so I could...

    Drive setup

    What is the difference between a boot loader and a chainloader? Does a boot loader replace an os's? versus a chainloader choosing which boot sequence to use? If I'm using grub and it's and drive z: If drive z: dies, will drive x: still be bootable?

    I have four drives. One of which has windows (this one CANNOT be formatted); one will get ubuntu put on it; one will run Debian; One Which will receive Archlinux. Is this feasible? Does GRUB check all drives for OS's? If it's not feasible, is there any way I can quad-boot and use all four...

    Compatibility.

    Thanks! Since you said Acer may have a few problems, are there any brands/machines that you would reccomend? I'd get an Inspiron, but I am limited to $700 or less and found at Best Buy. I'll test dual booting Linux-Linux when I get my laptop. How do you create a recovery USB? How big does it...

    Compatibility.

    The reason I'm looking at Pop is because it comes with gaming drivers. If mint would be easier for jumping into gaming, then I could use that. I also plan on simulation chemistry and the like. Is the nitro that much of a world of hurt?

    Compatibility.
