Finally back in Linux after so many years! My first recent attempt was waylaid by a locked down bios beyond my ability to bypass, but I’m done! Thank you, to everyone who helped out in my previous post!

Congratulations! 🥳

Which desktop environment did you decide to go with?

mint's cinnamon is a great starter DE, but once you get comfortable def try KDE Plasma for customization or XFCE if you want something lightweight that won't eat your ram lol

I went with mint’s look to start, then I’ll transition to something more conducive to my actual workflow as I relearn commands. Frankly, I’m just happy that I can find all of my relevant settings in one place again. As god intended.
