We even have a dedicated thread that has links to LL UEFI builds, and the community supports others in that thread.https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/linux-lite-software-development/uefi-build-test/It would be more accurate to say we don't release UEFI builds as people would expect them. There is at the very least, an effort to provide something you can work with.If I told you in the 90's I'm going to sell you a device that tracks your movements, can listen and record you wherever you go, most people would have rejected that offer, right? Fast forward to today, where there are literally millions of people using this device. You may have heard of it, it's called a mobile phone. My point is, just because a technology is 'convenient' doesn't mean you should accept it. Cheers

I've tried Linux Mint's Cinnamon and Mate 18.3 (both 64 bit and based on Ubuntu 16.04) and whilst both were recognised in the BIOS, they both failed to boot.
I guess the only way to determine if my machine will boot off an SD card is to buy one and have a go. I'm mindful of what you said about choosing reputable manufacturers etc.
I have used Linux Mint before and there have been good reviews concerning Ubuntu Mate 18.04, but I'll need to find out if both have UEFI support.
I may not have to create a swap partition.
What does Xubuntu have that LL doesn't have?
tried out Xubuntu 18.04 (32 bit)
Etcher is excellent. I've had one or another issues with a number of burning applications. Etcher is so good, I use it on our Shop USB drives. Never had one failure in all the time that I have used it. A remarkable record.
