    It's time for a poll. How long have you used Linux?

    OK. Thank You. (Sad the poll is not to see itself still, just for the impression.) I am thinking of am overview all Linux versions, with some columns important things/points, with also still later possible to add points. (For example: For beginners, for kids, which are still in progress, and...

    It's time for a poll. How long have you used Linux?

    (quote from the first post: ) "that you can't see the poll results unless you have also voted.": Sorry, I cannot see this poll ... What is the intention - the idea behind (for) - of this poll ?

    9 Linux Distros for Beginners

    Great idea. Also with woth to mention here the Linux-versions for kids ? (For schools ´perhaps´ from interesst. Internet - and OSs for computers - infrastructure from Linux, I think, are more fitable - and more appropriate - for kids, and schools. (Examples, if OK here already with: Linux for...

    [Solved] Linux Mint Mate 21.2 Partitions, BIOS settings

    Could find (quote) "For the bootloader, the easiest way is to pop the disk into the new machine, boot your distribution's live CD/USB and use its bootloader reparation tool", which perhaps also is able to do something as a repair installation, just an idea...

    [Solved] Linux Mint Mate 21.2 Partitions, BIOS settings

    The only EASY way currently to me is the following: a live Linux-version - as the CD/DVD version or as on stick (usuallly to FAT32) - to on HD. This so on hard-drive - not to forget: on FAT32 (where so; as on stick) - this drive is to use as a stick or the CD/DVD, to any hardware also. (But as...

    [Solved] Linux Mint Mate 21.2 Partitions, BIOS settings

    This sounds of as doable, if known how to handle this. I do not see this for me. The following idea I could imagine for me, where the focus stays to keep the (some personly) settings, (the) from external installed programs, and - as further example - the saved favourites in browsers, after...

    [Solved] Linux Mint Mate 21.2 Partitions, BIOS settings

    My trouble to create a new thread to this question is, I only have the XP example to explain, what I mean. This is not possible to put in into an easy short title. Currently it appears to me as if I have to install different Linux-versions, put it to an other PC (mainboard) or an other LapTop...

    [Solved] Linux Mint Mate 21.2 Partitions, BIOS settings

    No. But thanks. But I do not need to know all backgrounds of EFI, UEFI, and BIOS already only called before, as I just could read in Wikipedia. This is very much only confusing and not helping have it easy understandable.

    [Solved] Linux Mint Mate 21.2 Partitions, BIOS settings

    I do not who knows it from XP, or from an other Win-version, with the ´...7b´ Blue-Screen´ error at boot, which is not a problem from the there needed chipset drivers, as mostly presented so. It is from a setting in BIOS, whether setted to SATA or IDE or both or - something as - compatible...

    [Solved] Linux Mint Mate 21.2 Partitions, BIOS settings

    Wouh, I did already fear this. Not EFI possible anymore there ? Not the MBR partitions ? Only GPT partitions ? But FAT32 still possible ? Sorry, just for clearness ? (Do not know - remind - this just right now.) And before is only EFI, without mentioned at all in BIOS, because there is not to...

    [Solved] Linux Mint Mate 21.2 Partitions, BIOS settings

    Just to mention this still, please: The most CPUs since about 2004 are 64 Bit. (Which works also with for 32 Bit systems.) ´EFI´ - in opposite to UEFI - IS ´legacy BIOS´. (Through that both settings - if available (UEFI) at all - needs to be done in the BIOS, there is no non-BIOS UEFI, despite...

    [Solved] Linux Mint Mate 21.2 Partitions, BIOS settings

    Hm. Thanks. Not so elegant ..., sorry. All in all - to may stay easy -, as I know from XP - just at boot, or fast short after - the ´new´ hardware automatically is recognized and being installed. (Some BIOS settings, as EFI (as only standard BEFORE UEFI) or UEFI, or/and the drives (IDE, SATA...

    [Solved] Linux Mint Mate 21.2 Partitions, BIOS settings

    I think, I mean something else: let me try to begin to explain from my XP experiences. Installing installs the ´only´ needed drivers, chipset and so on. Graphics, sound: if only possible, a standard driver, which makes graphic and sound work, but not in its full capacities, therefor the...

    [Solved] Linux Mint Mate 21.2 Partitions, BIOS settings

    This - so far - is clear. When for this feature - where the life versions do this just with, having the most posible needed drivers with, at least a standard driver - exists a - or some - Linux version(s), which save(s) those drivers already with, at installation, and with changing the...

    [Solved] Linux Mint Mate 21.2 Partitions, BIOS settings

    Please, sorry, what do You mean ? What now is still not finish in Your eyes ? Or is it now ? Thank You. (I will add a note to my start-post here, to, that Linux Mint Mate has an install-manager, which does not require these from me thought needed manual preparing partitions.) I did read these...
