I’ve been happily dualbooting Win10/Mint for years on the very machine I’m writing from. Zero issues with boots, GRUB, no need for flatpaks, both systems work fine, both configs heavily customized.

What was your starting point? Having Windows on the machine already and installing Ubuntu on top of it? (that would be commonly regarded as the ‘correct’ order) If not, and you can afford to scrap everything, that’s what I’d go for. If yes, and it’s Ubuntu that’s messing up your dual boot, I’d see if Windows can be restored after removing Ubuntu, and then try a different distro (I’d go with Mint Cinnamon, it normally provides smooth install experience).

OK specs overall but too big for me and no headphone jack, I wouldn’t get one.

What’s your long-term experience?

Excellent. After uninstalling it never comes back.

Don’t know if more likely but yeah, it’s a possibility, too.

Reminds me to donate, been a while since I last did that. Thanks.

I wouldn’t be surprised if she’d just pulled that 225M out of her ass to not look completely clueless, as it’s right in the middle of the ballpark 200-250M she mumbled about earlier.

This. You’d be surprised how much good stuff you can find on those and similar services. Once I learned about them, I practically stopped torrenting.
