What distros or OS's should I test drive on an Intel i3 desktop that I was gifted this weekend? #linux #NotWindows #hobby

The Mastodon timeline gods have seen fit to show two of your posts in a row to me. So I'll reply to this one as well. :P

It really all depends on what your looking for. If you want great customization and #NotWindows, Kubuntu is a great option. A lot of things are pre-configured well out of the box. The system should be reasonably functional.

IMO, though, Ubuntu-based distros are designed for out-of-the-box ease. And sometimes that ease comes at the cost of flexibility.

Temporarily set a supervisor password in the BIOS. Set it to abc123 (easy to remember), don't want to brick the laptop by forgetting. Set Secure Boot to Disabled. Set supervisor password back to a blank password.

I will have to look up how to disable secure boot. I was afraid of this. There is no option in the bios to disable it.
