Hello Trinidad, Thanks so much for offering your thoughts. I've needed to make a bunch of movies over time and I had a great deal of trouble with Openshot. It kept crashing. I ultimately bought some movie making software for Windows. As well, I need to do some mapping on Garmin software which is as far as I know, only windows based. So the vast majority of use will be with Linux. Windows only on occasion.
I'm uncertain what I will end up installing. Another helpful poster pointed me in the direction of the EUFI experimental version. But the last I read, there was a folder missing bug and Jerry was going to look into it. I think trying to dual boot with an experimental system for someone who is somewhat inexperienced is going to get me in trouble.
So I'm still ciphering this out. I'm obviously not understanding something. With all the newer windows 10 based EUFI computers on the market, I don't understand why all Linux distros are not compatible with the technology. Am I forced to find a distro that is EUFI compatible? Or is an option to disable EUFI by going to legacy BIOS and then it's a simple matter of installing any Linux system? It's a confusing mess this EUFI compatibility and how many options I have in choosing a Linux install. Anyways, thanks again. Ron
