As the title states, I'm not a fan of "New" technology. Not one bit. Ergo, this manifested itself in trying to save a failing Linux install. Yeah, my newest "New To Me" Dell laptop felt like acting like a toddler, puking its programming all over the desk I work from.
Normally, I would not be that upset about it, except that Fedora is another of the distributions who feel that all users of older computers may not run their vaunted software. And, I could not get it to reinstall to save my life. Hoo Boy! Newbie uses the older Legacy Bios, not the techie-preferred UEFI boot. That is the issue. I mean, I got it to istall once, but after pulling out what little hair I have left, I could not get the fooking software to install.
So, "Newbie" now runs Linux Lite 7.0. It's okay, not that fast to boot, kind of odd manners to add software, etc. It's supposed to be for those making the transfer from Redmond, Washington OS systems to Linux. We shall see, I'm putting Newbie where the entire family can play on it.
That is all,
Kel
