Thank you for the information but there is always some sort of problem with the new releases. I’m using Linux the last 16 years and by experience I can tell that all new releases have some issues that get solved in the process.
As I said previously I tried at the beginning to install the Linux Mint 20.1 on the second disk in order to take advantage of the longer support of this release.
But it didn’t want to work at all as the Mate GUI that it uses broke, the system didn’t want to install or uninstall any applications and generally speaking it did its own things.
I tried also the Byzantium live image and it didn’t performed that well as the stable one.
But honestly now I don’t have neither the mood nor the energy to bother fixing things until the next update/upgrade.
I need a working pc because I rely on it for my work.
In order to get an idea about how I use my pcs, I wouldn’t even bother to change the old pc if it wasn’t ready to die after 20 years of constant hardware upgrades. ( it is a matter of principle for me not to throw away a pc that can still work).
But that old pc was in such terrible condition that it couldn’t take another hardware upgrade and that is the reason why I had to buy a new one and get again in the process of having to make new installations after a very long time of not bothering to do any.
This is what Linux is made for after all ( in case you haven’t realised it yet). To have it there running and forget that it even exists! lol
