Howdy from Texas. I am new here, but I have some history since I used Mandrake 7.1 back in the day when it was the newbie friendly distro. I have limited Linux knowledge, so I might ask so questions that have been beaten to death. I currently have three Linux machines (all System 76), two of which (Lemur Pro and Darter Pro 7) have Mint. My older Darter Pro (6) is becoming my testing machine, and I plan on trying Mageia. The issue with System 76 is their Coreboot does not like certain distros, and really does not like anything other than a 5.4+ Kernel. Before that you get no wifi, lights, or just no boot at all. My biggest questions will be around command line syntax since I am so used to "Apt" command. But I recall the old Mandrake Linux with great fondness. Being old, I remember the time before PC computers. Thanks all, and I look forward to making good friends here.
