I my travails with the new Dell laptop, while trying Mint I clicked on
something and the panel disappeared. It was Mint Xfce so I tried
xfce4-panel -r, but that did nothing. Then I decided to try the Install

My first Slackware system required a bunch of floppy disks, maybe 1996?.
Business partners and myself at the time thought Debian was a better
choice and we never did any projects with that Slackware.

With windows 10 hold down shift then click on shutdown or restart. You will
get the advanced boot options, where you can get to the UEFI firmware
settings(ie bios options). Windows 10 likes to not actually shut down all
the way but using fastboot to more or less come back from sleep(kind of).

Can you share steps how you get into the BIOS to boot from a linux live USB?
I have one coming soon.
I am a bit concern that these newer laptops may have something incompatible
so I also want to try with a live USB first.
( I am planning to use Linux Mint)
thanks

Make sure you POWER OFF (not REBOOTING) the laptop before trying to get
into the bios. I've had similar issues where I couldn't get into bios
because you can only do so after a full power off. Some care, others don't,
but worth a try.

Never mind, I finally succeeded. Xubuntu Live is running. The
touchscreen and the wifi are both working, so I'm going to hit the
Install icon.
My Dell Latitude 7275 2-in-1 was delivered an hour ago. My plan was to
boot to an Xubuntu 21.10 live USB to figure out if it would even work
and, if it does work, then install it, wiping out the Windows 10
already installed.
I have the Xubuntu USB plugged in, but the laptop just boots directly

My first X on PC was XFree86 on fairly recent SuSE, think they just
switched from Slackware then.
Before PC - I used some X looking/feeling thing on sunOS, VMS and HPUX, if
i recall these abbreviations correctly.

Because one of the WD Blue disks in the backup RAID1, /dev/md0, failed I
bought a pair of WD Red NASdrives. They're installed and partitioned as a
linux filesystem. They show up in fdisk -l as /dev/sde/ and /dev/sdf/.
When I try to create a new RAID1 on these disks I get this result:
# mdadm
My first distro was SLS in December 1992. I was an early adopter of
Debian when it came along.
