@EFF @fsf @Linux @linuxfoundation @linuxtoday @Linux_Mint Computers being locked to Windows. Recent experience with @HP laptop with non-configurable BIOS. It's like no one cares.

Done mucking about trying to install a Linux Distro on a Windows machine. Tired of playing catch up with BIOS & hardware changes designed to make it a Windows only wurld
Going to save & get a REAL Linux system, that will take some time, nearly a year to save for it...

Well, that's your call, I can't upgrade hardware too often and I must put up with what I already have. I am happy with my dual boot laptop. I barely use Windows if ever. If you can afford it, maybe a native linux laptop such as
@system76 would do for you.

My friends don't have computers. Library public computers restricted, try to burn CD/DVD makes coaster; not allowed to install program to make USB. Don't have many friends at this age, 60+, all dead
or gone retirement places. -
In that case, don't throw away what you already have, even if you get a dream system76 machine in some time, keeping this one and installing linux on it later can save you in case you want to do anything else (such as installing another distro to your new machine)
