I wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of you.

Is this what we feed on, commercials? It's a bit annoying when half of the mobile phone is covered with a commercial...

Did I hear learning curve?

Great, thanks!

I think that I have got it now, thanks!

Two questions: Can Linux Mint 19.3 be upgraded to 20 or a later version? Will Linux Mint run on a 64 bit system?

So far I am completely lost regarding the Ventoy and other suggestions, I have been away from this for too long and much has happened since I laid back and "enjoyed" what I had. Still, learn by doing has been my path in life and I am sure that I can manage.

Damn! LOLOL! Anyway, I will have a new desktop machine and try out the Linux before going all the way. Another question, I seem to have the 19.3 version, is it a matter of upgrading from that to the latest or should I create a disc with the latest version?

I would be blind without the card?! So, card first and driver afterwards?

Many thanks!

It's most likely because I am on the phone that I don't see it.

I fail in finding the guide you referred to?

It is indeed a desktop. I have created a DVD and as far as I know it should start an installation from that.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 graphics card named ZOTAC 16 Gb of RAM Samsung EVO 860 SSD Intel Core i7-4770K 3,50GHz cpu I don't remember the motherboard, but I think it is a GIGABYTE Intel series 8 Everything was new 2016

I will look up the specs and attach or paste soon.

I looked around in BIOS, but I didn't find UEFI anywhere?!

Oh, I am afraid that it is way above my skills. On the other hand I don't need to keep the BIOS updated because of the missing UEFI in W10 which I am going to dump anyway.

I wonder how I proceed when a Linux operating system reaches EOL, will it be possible to jump to another or do I need to start all over again? Just thinking ahead, I noticed that Mint "only" will be supported until 2027.

Many thanks! I know quite a lot about computers and software, but I have mostly been using Windows and I have always built my computers. I will install Linux on an EVO 860 SSD, it's exactly the same as the one running W10, that way I can make myself comfortable with Linux and adjust bits and...

Good to know, thanks! It will be a complete new experience for me, install some kind of email, browser etc.
