  • Always back up your stuff, but after doing so, the process is pretty much boot to bios, set boot priority with linux usb at the top, and away you go.

    If you have secure boot enabled, you might have to enter a pass code or passphrase but otherwise its identical to traditional bios. If you want secure boot, which prevents someone else from doing this process to your machine, re enable after you’ve installed nvidia drivers otherwise you’ll have to provide it your secure boot password during and sometimes it likes to break.








  • In the update settings she can reset her apt sources back to “default”. It’s not too hard and there’s a gui throughout the process (from memory).

    The package conflicts is an interesting one, if you have the time to post one of these on lemmy I’m sure someone will suggest a fix. It’s probably a apt install --fix-broken or something simple (hopefully) but I’m sure we could work it out.

    Totally agree that these are annoying issues though. See if you can use Nala, it’s a TUI front end for Apt and it’s got some nice user changes like if you run upgrade it updates and upgrades. It also has a fetch feature which finds nearby sources, so you’re always downloading from the closest/fastest source.
