True, but… When MBR Grub drops to rescue or doesn’t appear at all, it’s not only difficult (at least for newbies) but somewhat random if you can actually boot a given OS. With EFI Grub, I’ve often managed to boot using BIOS boot override to launch a usable Grub configuration.
Actually one day before Christmas in Finland and other Nordic countries. I don’t know if Linus still celebrates Christmas like that, having resided in the US for a long time already, but the big celebration is here always the 24th of December, and 25th–26th is mostly just resting after it.
That’s usually good enough.
Well, Mint also corrects some of Ubuntu’s mistakes. It doesn’t force feed you Snap, for instance.
That’s nice… if you only plan to run a bare operating system. Try processing some big-ass data files with R.
