[quote=Anonymous]It was easier than I thought it would be. I asked ChatGPT which version of Linux it recommended for my particular machine, because there are so many, and then I went on that operating system’s website and followed their instructions. You do need a USB key to make a boot up disk, and then you need another program to format the usb key and install the software on the key. Once I installed the “image” onto that usb key (it was very easy and I just followed the instructions), I plugged in the USB key and restarted my machine. That was it. From there it was just like installing any other software. If I knew you, I would give you my USB stick ready to go! I installed Linux mint cinnamon version on a geriatric dell latitude laptop that was probably well over $2k a decade ago.[/quote]
