Thanks for the A2A. That’s a bad idea. Tons of people have been complaining, that this is a setup doomed to fail and that is not suprising. Recently someone reported, that Windows hibernation has broken the Ubuntu boot manager (Grub). So, from that perspective it would make sense. The catch…

In this category the primary focus is Linux use with desktop technology, including notebooks and netbooks.
Thanks for the A2A. From my perspective, this question needs clarification. What does “like Arch” mean? The whole point of Linux distros is different purpose and taste. If Arch was like any other and just harder to install, what would be the point of Arch? That doesn’t make sense. Slackware…

Thanks for the A2A. Just think about the question for a second. Do you really think, that is a matter of Linux using it? Or could it be a matter of the vendor making it available for other operating systems? Now, given Microsoft is an operating system developer… if you…
The question is based on a wrong assumption. Hotkeys are part of the user interface, usually a graphical user interface, not part of the distribution itself. The Linux distribution is all about purpose. The graphical user interface is about looks, taste and basic handling. The question is based on a…
Thanks for the A2A. Why would any Linux option try to limit itself to what Windows 7 can do? No offense. I have had Windows 7 Pro on my PC for 11 years and it’s still on there. Windows 7 is a desktop operating system and that’s it. Windows is…
Thanks for the A2A. You don’t! It’s as simple as that. You can only use ONE partitioning scheme on a drive, not two. You can either use GPT or MBR, but not both. You can use them on separate drives. But not on the same. Because a) it’s not necessary…
