You have had many answers, all of them revolving around Debian / Ubuntu. Yet it doesn’t give the “like-windows” esperience. It’s More like “slightly windows-flavored Linux”.

For a more Windows-like Linux, which helped me transition easily because I retained muscle memory, is Zorin OS.

Syncthing has been discontinued on android (but a fork exists)

You should be able to do it. I dual booted nobara / arch / windows in the beginning

None ! That’s the greatest thing. Take the time to read the welcome message (you know that window that come when you first boot any distro) and follow any instruction. It should work out of the box.

Okay, I had the same problem with a 3060 laptop. The easy answer is : your next distro should be Nobara.

These errors happen because your computer does not use your Nvidia GPU but the AMD one. There is no hardware acceleration.

In Nobara, everything comes preinstalled and preconfigured. I didn’t have those problems anymore.

(If you fancy masochism, you can also go the Arch or NixOS way)

In the case of NixOS, the question would then be : “How much pain in the ass is it to install NixOS, really ?”

I think that I agree with Lina on this one. This article heavily sides with Danilo and her initial message is clear enough : she asks to remain primary author. It should have ended there with Danilo saying “ok no prob, here it is corrected” and it would have ended there.

Doctor said, Son, you got Reggaemylitis

It’s true, it also doesn’t block images that have these words, but you filter more than 90% of the posts that you wouldn’t want to see.

I have a filter on, I block the words “Elon”, “Kamala” and “Trump”. Furthermore I block politics community. It’s not like they are about anything else than US politics anyway.

I oppose the occupation of gaza by Israel !

But fr, anything position that gives one power and a feeling of superiority : magistrate, judge, police officer, military, …

That’s what I’m searching for… a workaround ! I can’t see my fans in fancontrol

I do a lot of biking and for me Organic Maps has proven to be worthy of the navigation.

Heed the backup data warning.

But if you just want to test mint to see how it feels, you can boot from a USB and install mint on a second usb. That way you are less prone to lose any data should something happen.

Make sure that the second USB is somewhat recent and has minimum 32 Gb for an optimal experience.

The problem seems to come from Windows. However, what you can do is open a terminal then type :

sudo os-prober

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Try to reboot and see what happens. If it doesn’t fix anything, then it might be that your Windows SSD should be mounted directly on the motherboard or, at the very least, on a USB-C port.

Sometimes, what happens is that the hub needs a driver which isn’t loaded by the DOS kernel by default. And since it isn’t loaded, Windows can’t recognise the hub so the hard drive containing itself can’t be found.

If that solution works, maybe you should swap your windows and your linux SSDs, see if the linux kernel can figure out the hub at boot.

This error (hd0) is typical of legacy (BIOS) booting end happens solely because of the MBR. GRUB2 is hit or miss with MBR.

If you’re not planning on dual booting with Windows XP/Vista/7, I’d recommend going to your motherboard settings and changing the boot mode to UEFI.

Then reinstall Debian. That will automatically sort things out :)

Paris, it’s the WORST city in all of France.

If you dd a 1TB hard drive, it will create a 1TB image. You’d need to have a >1TB drive to store it. If you dd each partition separately, this won’t be the case.

Plus it will be easier to discriminate between different FS and mount them accordingly.

Should work. You’d be better off dd’ing each partition separately.
