Hi All
I had an e-mail from a potential new Linux / Free software user in
Cornwall, she hasn't started with it yet, but I did suggest starting
off with LinuxMint as it seems to 'just work'. Plus for new users it
is pretty easy to use, has good support (forum,irc etc) as well as a
strong user base.
I just wondered if anyone in that area would be able to provide some
install help please. I know the install guide is at
https://linuxmint-installation-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
But I don't know much about this EFI/UEFI thing. So if that needs
disabling or whatever you do. I can't help with that.
Once it is installed myself and others can try and provide some
support remotely.
If anyone can respond who is local to Fowey, I can put you in touch.
Thanks
Paul
Interesting to see all the different ideas and suggestions. I have a
different approach. When I get someone asking me about helping them to
move over to Linux, which is happening at the moment, I always advise
them to get another laptop just for the Linux install. Does not need to
be new or powerful, of course. But keep separate machines for Windows
and Linux.
Yes, I understand the ideas and recommendations so far given here. Just
another way of sorting this out.
Neil
