I’ve got a smaller SSD here that I’ve been meaning to install so I can have a dual boot machine, too. I really like Linux and the interface is so Windows-like, that the transfer is virtually seamless. The only thing is that some apps aren’t available for Linux.

I've got a Chromebook that I bought used for $70 that I installed Linux Mint on (which required opening the case and disconnecting the battery during the install). That's come to be my constantly companion. I'm hooked on Mint's "hot corners" that allow me to jump between windows and desktops with almost a single motion.

Last night I put the second NVME drive in the new unit, and configured a USB drive to install Lubuntu. I'll be installing either tonight or tomorrow night.
