Bootfähigen USB-Stick mit balenaEtcher erstellt.

Der erste Bootversuch direkt am Laptop schlug fehl – der Stick wurde nicht erkannt. Über einen USB-Hub funktionierte es dann problemlos.

Anschließend: Installation von Linux Mint auf die 500-GB-SSD.

Just switched from Windows to Linux for the first time and wow, the mindset shift is real. Faster, more control, and a curiosity boost I didn’t know I needed. Tech feels like a playground again.read this: https://ift.tt/z7ZuVUa #Linux #TechChange #WindowsToLinux #byAI

I'm a Windows user who installed Linux for the first time - here's how the experience changed me

I put Ubuntu on an old Dell laptop to see if Linux could really replace Windows 11. See why my final destination was so worth the speed bumps.

For how to install Linux, I recommend this: https://itsfoss.com/guide-install-linux-mint-16-dual-boot-windows/

You can even try it out without installing: either through a Live USB stick, or through a virtual machine (VM): https://itsfoss.com/install-linux-in-virtualbox/

#ADjoin - Time to AD join my #linux laptop to a hybrid onprem/azure environment.

My laptop already has connectivity to our domain controllers via ZScaler. Since during the installation i could not do this as Zscaler was required.

Dell seems to use something called #ABSOLUTE:

(this is news to me 😂)

Their own guidance recommends disabling it for Ubuntu:

OK so first issue with FDE (TPM backed) after install on first boot it's asking for recovery keys even though I was not able to export them - this seems to be the issue many people are having. #WindowsToLinux #Dell
