Hello peeps, long time no see.
I have been messing around with my laptop and trying things. To cut long story short, I installed LMDE6 on the entire 1TB hard drive and then thought, since many drivers are not available for this distro, I could as well make some space for Ubuntu 20.04.6, with which the OSGD (remote access app) is also compatible and it works. For work. Also hoping to stream directly over wifi to my smart TV, which I have been having difficulties with LMDE without a hdmi wire (impossible it seems, spent half of a day trying all possible options, probably dell wifi drivers missing for lmde or something, but they have it for the mentioned ubuntu).
I had to do tricks to resize the LMDE partition yesterday, with success and returned it to its original LVM state (that key next to it). It is the partition n1p2.
The partition n1p3 is desired for Ubuntu and only that is ticked from all partitions to install into. There is a boot loader and swap partition from LMDE on the disc already. I only need to install Ubuntu into the remaining partition. But it keeps wanting to overwrite something else, based on this (unless I understand it wrong). What can you say about it? What could go wrong? I rebooted the whole thing, it keeps repeating it. I run gparted from the live version of Ubuntu, which I installed on Rufus usb with persistence, but the iso file shouldn't be affected, right? Just me speculating whether the persistence has something to do with it (I guess not).
