Ok, I tried again to install Mantaro in the Linux Mint Root partition but used another option. It was very easy and looks like it is working well. GRUB does not seem to by a problem. Thanks again.

That's right I want to continue with dual boot ability (win10 and a Linux distro). This tutorial seems to be straightforward on how to overwrite the Linux distro on the same partitions (root--home---swap). I am not real clear on how to manipulate the partitions but getting into the process...

I thought that I was being advised that I was posting questions as a PM which I took to mean Personal Messages and not to a particular forum page. Guess I was wrong AGAIN! I have since found a very detailed tutorial that I have confidence in using. Sorry for the confusion.

I have been informed that I have not been posing in the right manner but using PM. Hope this is not too redundant. Because I have screwed this process up in the past which required that I start from scratch with Win 10 I need some clear and detailed instructions on how to proceed without...

Yes, several years ago I ran into that problem after deleting the Linux partitions and don't want to go there again. I had to start from scratch and reinstall windows. I am thinking of trying Manjaro XFCE but won't mess with it until I am confident with installing it over Linux mint. I will...

Thanks much for the detailed instructions. I have been doing that but was ignoring the PASTE option. This time I copied and pasted and it worked as it should.

I have no problems making changes to Firefox under Windows 10 but using Linux does not work, regardless of what I try. Maybe, as a last resort, I should just try something other than Firefox?

Not stating that I am dual booting with Win 10 was a mistake on my part. If you would, please restate how I can install another version of Linux on the same partitions that hold Linux mint. By searching, I have come across a couple of ideas but not comfortable trying them yet as in the past I...

My mistake------------Should have said Firefox and Linux mint, dual boot with Win 10.

Looking for the best method to install another Linux distro over the existing version. I have seen three options so far. #1--seems the easiest, just install to the already existing partitions. #2--suggests that the partition contents be deleted (root partition formatted) and then install the new...

Using Win10 and up datedFirefox.

Gods must like you better than me because it just won't work. Dragging to the home button no good either.

I have tried every method found via search without success. One of those tutorials did say that if it can't be done there is a bug. Can someone tell me how they changed their Linux mint 20.0 Startpage from Linux default to google or duckduckgo?

Good news-----I figured it out with some help of course. Just right-click on the desktop, choose "customize" and disable auto arrange. I live with Linux for another day.

Yes, move it to another location. Cinnamon v20 something.

Every few years I attempt to install and use Linux Mint. Maybe an 81-year-old should just give up. Again I installed it correctly and starting to add my desired apps. I installed Firefox and it put the shortcut on the left side of my screen. I want to move it whenever I want but can't. I know I...

Sorry, haven't learned Screenshot on Linux yet. By PW I meant password. After command cd Downloads/ This is the response -/Downloads$ with nothing following it except the blinking white thingy.

yes, I have talked with PureVpn and their install tutorial is very short and easy looking. The first step is to download the app and the second says this. "From the Terminal move to the directory where package is installed" I don't understand what "move" means and they do not explain. The app...

I want my experience to be as hacker free as possible and I always strive for perfection. Don't know what you mean by my not picking a distro. I installed Linux Mint 19.3, isn't that a distro? Seeing that I can't get my VPN installed and my WIFI is not working I am going to try another version...

I think i give up with this install. Nothing is working with the Purevpn install and I just noticed that although I am set up as Wireless my internet connection is labeled Wired. Maybe I will try another version. thanks anyway.
