Oh ok thanks. I just coulda swore I saw a hibernation setting in BIOS. That's another thing, would I have to create a Bios partition? this is a tad more confusing that I thought. Also determining the proper sizes of everything. What about an efi partition? or is that only associated with Windows? I have no clue
Lol really???? why is that? surely those are of way less quality than others available, right?
This is great to know, thanks. What do you plan to use as replacements? and do you typically try to stay with the same brand for most of your gear or does that not matter?
Perfect! I will be disabling hibernation in Bios. Also, how exactly do you choose a default bootloader when each distro automatically installs their own? not sure on that process. Or do things like display managers matter? or is Xorg or Wayland pretty much good for all three?
Ahh good to know. Adding to the list lol I've heard the name mentioned a few times but never really looked into their stuff. Thanks
I appreciate the patience and helpfulness. Dont the distro installers automatically create a swap for you? if not, how large of a swap do you recommend and would that just be an empty fat32 or ext4 partition?
That's always a recommended brand. Never had much luck with their laptops, but had a real old Asus router that I liked.
Thanks, though it's actually that tricky? I honestly figured it would be more simple, but hey I guess not. Ehh I just don't want to get into VM quite yet; I've got alot of other learning to do first. But people dual boot windows and linux all the time with no problems, what is so different about dual booting or in my case triple booting three linux distros?
Ok cool, thanks. Does the bootloader partition get created automatically by the installer or is that something you must do manually? and should each partition for each distro have it's own swap? or just one swap to handle all three?
Yup that sounds ideal! i've had so much trouble with the ONLY ports on my laptop, being two usb-c ports smh. Just over the years of wear and tear they both became loose and stopped working. Had a shop replace one and he salvaged the other with adding a bit more solder. I just want to get devices away from these dog gone ports and onto a dock lol
