I figured it out. Rather than performing a restart, which did not give me the option to change desktops, I logged out. When I logged back in, before typing my password, I had the settings 'Gear' in the lower right corner of the screen. This allowed me to select a different desktop. Then I typed...

That allows me to view or hide the password.

I'm not getting that look at login. I'm still in the Gnome desktop. What am I missing? The first attachment is my login screen, the second attachment is the result of the "sudo dnf group list" command. I installed "swithdesk" and "switchdesk kde", still nothing, the same login screen and desktop...

Thank you for your simple instructions. I installed both the KDE Plasma and Cinnamon desktops. However, I'm not getting the option to change desktops. I opened a terminal and ran the 'dnf group list' command with, in part, this result. Installed Environment Groups: KDE Plasma Workspaces...

I'm still very, very new to Linux so please explain what to do step by step if possible. I have an Acer 5 Aspire running Windows 10 and Fedora 33 with a grub at boot. Currently, the grub shows three Fedora OS versions, windows, then setup system. Three questions: 1) How do I limit the number of...

Is there a Linux flavor/distro that can be run from a flash drive that will save settings, documents, and other information so the next time it is booted live the settings like wifi password doesn't have to be reentered each time?

I'm back. I formatted my hard drive, reloaded Windows and loaded Fedora KDE. My HP laptop is still not booting into a Grub(2). I saw a note somewhere else to run the command, sudo efibootmgr -v. (seen below) The instructions state to make a backup of the original boot loader...

Attached is the MD5sum from the Kubuntu Live USB. None of these match the MD5sum I got from the website kubuntu.org - download and clicked on check-sums under the 64-bit Download button. I'm downloading the iso from this site now. I'll verify when it finishes. BTW, which sum from the attached...

For Kubuntu I used Rufus. For KaOS i used balenaEthcher. No, I don't think I checked the integrity of them.

I formatted my SSD except for the C drive and the 100MB boot partition at the front of the drive. While installing Feren ios into the 277GB unallocated partition (at the time of install), I got the following failure message. I got the following window after attempting to install KaOS. And a...

I used balenaEtcher to create my KaOS USB. I’m intrigued with KaOS too and I want to install it along with Windows 10 and Kubuntu. I’m just needing the install instructions for each.

Thank you, I will work on this. It might take a while since I have other obligations too. I'll follow-up afterwards.

Sorry for all the confusion on my part. I'm learning here. How do I backup files in these partitions? Step by step instructions please. Bottom line, I think I want to wind up with Windows 10, Ubuntu, and KaOS on my laptop. Is there an Ubuntu KDE flavor? What do you recommend? Thank you very...

OK, Mageia won't boot. I copied and pasted the code to install Gparted into my Ubuntu OS.

OK, attached are the file structures for both Ubuntu-Mate, Mageia-Gnome, and Window 10 (SSD) file structures. Fedora is loaded, but I don't know where. I wasn't able to expand the /boot/efi partition using Gparted in Mageia. After selecting a partition and resizing it, the resulting new...

With the results of the "fdisk" I'm not sure what to do next. Are my file system too messed up? Not being that familiar (and wanting to learn more) about Linux, how do I fix this? I'm running Ubuntu-Mate. The line you wrote, "Depending on your answer, you can edit /etc/default/grub using Nano in...

Wow, that's a lot of good information, Wizard. Thanks. I'll work on this and get back to you.

After running "cat /etc/default/grub" I got the attached file. NOTE: This was with the present configuration still with Mageia and Fedora OS's currupt.

Thanks for your and Wizard's reply. After disabling secure boot and restarting, my laptop booted into windows without a grub. After running "sudo update-grub" in Ubuntu's terminal window, the results showed that it found Ubuntu, Mageia, and Windows boot mgr. It completed the application with...
