Installing Windows is still as much fun as it was in the days of 13 floppy discs. 🙄 Some things never change. 🤷♂️ 😂
I spent > 2 hours on it this evening between the installation running and all the setup crap before you even see the desktop.
It didn't fix my flashing monitor problem, either. 🙄 Didn't really expect it to, just wanted to give it one last chance. I think I can still fix it down the road.
Next I'm installing Linux Mint! Start the timer, and hold my beer! 🤓 😎
I’ll hold your beer… but if you’re installing Linux Mint- I’ll have time to sit back, put my feet up, an drink an entire six pack before you’ve got time for the beer I’m holding. 😎

Ruh-roh! 😂 Long install? Mint was sort of a quick pick, right now running it on a thumb drive.
I'm open to suggestions on other distros if you have a recommendation. I'm ditching Win, so looking for something solid, secure and robust.
@QueenOfEverything
LOL, right on! 😂 You can be the designated drinker. Virtual drinker, since you don't have any. 🍻 😂
That turned out to be a good time to pause and shake out the stress of a Windows installation. Gotta stop and play with your peeps! 😊 🐿️
I figure I'll run into some interesting spots, but looks like they've got this Linux installer streamlined compared to the old days! 🤞
Glad to be of service…. just hearing about your computer work made me feel much kinder to my aging MacBook Pro. So I went out to my kitchen the and made an excellent White Russian.
Congrats to both of us for this fulfilling interlude! 🖖

Heh heh heh…. You made me laugh bc I do remember installing gazillions of disks back in the olden days… but even after all those decades I still have to get the dummies guide for anything new.
An I’ve cold bear just sounded really good… and I don’t have any- so I offered to hold your’s.
besides…. I have an 8 year old MacBook Pro and it only has 1 USB PORT- that is for the stupid mouse and it drives me crazy. I really need the beer more than you.
Here… hold my computer! 🍺
