Mint Linux is the easiest Linux to start with. You can download it, get it onto a bootable flash drive. Then boot into Mint desktop and poke around to see how you like it. Mint is great for web surfing (use Chrome, Edge what have you) and “office” tasks. Other software you might have to install.
NOTE: Booting into Mint with a flash drive does not affect or wipeout the Windows 10 or 11 that is installed on your computer.
Thanks, I’m going to give it a try.
This thread caused me to download LinuxMint to a USB for my ASUS Zenbook laptop.
Download went fine.
Powered OFF laptop w/USB3 still attached
Powered ON laptop & bypassed to Select USB3 boot
Laptop continued powering on, as normal
Greeted with W11 Sign-On screen
Brave Browser opened as normal and my W11 apps opened as normal.
Appears MINT vis USB3 did not override W11.
Any hints on how to truly Boot Up to Linux on my USB3 drive?
Thanks!
