Got a copy of latest mint 20.1 and put that on laptop.
Found out I hadnt put in some items that I must have missed on the 19.3 version.
Got it all up and running now [thumbsupbig]
A question
What media player is the better for Mint( I have used VLC (on windoze) but getting a few conflicting
stories about it of late), so thought I'd ask.
TIA
DG
I have VLC running on both Linux Mint and Big Sur on my iMac and it’s great on both. I doubt that there’s anything better.
Big Sur is the one after High Sierra?Quote:

No, Catalina is after Mojave which came after HS. Big Sur comes after Catalina. It has many new features. The next one coming soon is Monterey, but I wouldn't wait for that one. I'm running Big Sur on my 2012 iMac, which is unsupported by and it struggles a bit but I reckon it's a good OS. If you have any software that you can't live without then check it will still run on macOS 11 first.Quote:

I'd go for it. It's faster, it frees up space and it manages disk and RAM usage far better than HS, plus it has some pretty cool little tricks that make it a bit more iOS like. Pretty sure Office will be just fine. Microsoft and are much better friends than most people believe.Quote:

I use mplayer, but it's a bit of "what you are more familiar with". I use vlc on OSX and iOS, but I suppose I've been using mplayer on linux for "a few years" now, so it's just natural.Quote:

Years ago i ran a dual boot of Ubuntu on a laptop and everything just worked right away, also tried Kubuntu that also was no issue.
