Hi All,
I'm considering a career change from admin support to IT support, and I've read A+ requires familiarity with Linux.
I just spent my whole birthday wrestling with a multiboot setup on my 13-year-old D630. After multiple successes and failures installing several live USBs I now have Ubuntu Studio, PCLinux MATE, Arch Linux with a forgotten password, and Win10 that always restarts but never shuts down.
I wanted to learn command line but, for now, I'm ok with being locked out of Arch. Hopefully I can learn everything I need from Ubuntu.
If anyone is keeping track... kudos to the Ubuntu installer for always fixing the bootloader after being wrecked by Arch, PCLinux KDE, CentOS, openSUSE, Subgraph, Fedora Workstation, and Fedora Silverblue. Everything probably would've been easier if I had installed only one distro.
Anyway... over to the beginner threads... or maybe tomorrow... I'm tired!
