Linux Mint is awesome. I run it on my main computer with the Cinnamon desktop,
and on older computers with the lighter weight KDE desktop. I have two systems
that are dual boot with Windows and no issues. The only issue is that every
once in a great while I have to use Windows. ;)
I'm new to LinuxCNC, and I'm setting up a Raspberry Pi for that, so I can't
speak to how well Mint works for LinuxCNC.
Best,
Gene Weber

I have Debian running on a very old MacBook where it uses the Raspberry Pi
user interface. Looks like a Pi. Don't really like the MacBook touchpad.
I've downloaded the .iso file. Sad thing is it's just a tad larger than the
DVD R/W disks I have here. That means I'll have to look at a USB stick to boot
from.
The 1TB SSD I have can connect onto a USB 3.0 adaptor. I wonder, if I used
that as the target, if it would boot and install onto itself...
