Hello, My SSD is NTFS and it does work better then FAT32. My flash drive is formatted to NTFS and works better, except for the scanning machine which needs FAT32. Haven't had any lost files since NTFS. NTFS is the more current technology for newer computers. I just want everything to be the current NTFS system. This LINUX distro does boot and work if installed on NTFS but I need to be able to fix things up a little bit even if getting a different distro is easier.
I guess I need to learn to install files, it's like DOS I guess. I wish there was a program installer for this LINUX distro but the authors are certainly silent. I installed a program and it executed from a desktop icon, but I deleted the icon, and I think that made the program uninstallable somehow. Later it could not be executed after unarchiving. The archiver said "symlink not valid operation not permissible". But five minutes earlier it executed oK after unarchiving the .tgz successfully. Tried everything to reinstall it, even reformatting everything. Had no success with tar.gz files at all so I am waiting to get some info or an install program. No rush anyway just a hobby. THX.
