Well, I have Linux Mint KDE 18.2 installed on the Studio PC.

Well, I have Linux Mint KDE 18.2 installed on the Studio PC. But it didn't go smoothly. I couldn't backup most of the files still on the drives, because the Live version of Mint wouldn't let me. copy files to the USB drive. This was probably permissions issue but this was the first time I had that issue!A The work around was to split the install over more than one drive. and then when it was all done it wouldn't boot direct and when I got to to up comes GRUB, listing a Windows install when there no longer is one?!

So, a bit more mucking around with the BIOS, with the Grub Customiser and and a few other things, before this is done properly.

    According to a friend, the newer LIVE or INSTALL disks are unable to copy /delete files for "protection". Now I've installed, I'll try backing up, and then re-installing properly.

    I don'tunderstand why people put themselves through this, when running Linux in a VM or just typing bash at a command prompt does all most anyone would ever need.

    I don't really understand or Trust VM, and even if I did that I'd still have to have another OS to do that. The Studio PC had an almost defunct and crippled Win7 install. I'm glad I didn't try installing the remaining Win10 on it now.

    Of course I have to think what to do next. I see two choices: repair the PC, or replace it. I've repaired it in the past and it continued to break down at regular intervals. In thi case it could be something stupid like a lose lead.

    If I replace it, I may as well install Win10 on that instead as well as a Mint dual boot.But also, if I replace it, I'm more likely to get something MUCH BETTER and swap that with the RecRoom PC.
