The Endless Foundation promoted Endless OS 5.0 to the stable channel for everyone to download and install the latest version of their Debian-based and app-centric operating system for general use.

Hey All,

Is there a distro out that for a newbie that provides:

1. Auto partitioning.
2. Live version to make sure hardware works.
3. Multi media video out of the box.

I've talked a friend into using linux since he's sick of Windows now. I'd install slackware for him but he's not close by.

Also since he's on Windows now - what free software could he use to make a boot usb?

Thanks

Endless OS 5.0 is here with a refreshed GNOME-based desktop interface and running on the next-generation Wayland display protocol.

UPDATE: THIS thread starting POST document ideas how I can answer my own question T.B.A.


MAIN QUESTION: Is there some live distro in usb thumbdrive version of Linux that can upgrade or alter the BIOS of this LENOVO T510 Laptop PC to enable VMX? If so where is that? or is my only bet to re-install windows?



I've tried installing thumb drive isos here:

linux mint 21 https://distrowatch.com/?newsid=11720 , MX Linux 21.3.0 https://distrowatch.com/?newsid=11739 , Manjaro xfce 21.3.0 https://distrowatch.com/?newsid=11576 I did notice I can run old knoppix 8.2 live (but that's kind of sluggish)

but I get this error every time I boot those 3 live CD'S with the obsolete 2010 bios.

[ 0.129413 "x86/cpu: VMX" (outside TXT) DISABLED by BIOS" ]

"vmx (outside txt) disabled by BIOS" https://duckduckgo.com/?t=lm&q=vmx+(...=v318-1&ia=web


so how do I turn VMX on?

MORE DETAILS to this post T.B.A. soon

Linux 6.1 was widely anticipated to be a Long-Term Support (LTS) kernel with normally the last major release series for the calendar year normally promoted to LTS status. Greg Kroah-Hartman as the Linux stable maintainer went ahead today and formally recognized Linux 6.1 as the 2022 LTS kernel. From a report: Greg KH was planning on Linux 6.1 being LTS given its December debut. But he was waiting on feedback from kernel stakeholders over their test results with Linux 6.1 and plans around using Linux 6.1 for the long-term. He's finally collected enough positive responses -- along with co-maintainer Sasha Levin -- that there is confidence in maintaining Linux 6.1 as an LTS series. As of now the plan is on maintaining Linux 6.1 through December 2026, which is just a few months longer than the current Linux 5.15 LTS series that will be maintained through October 2026. We'll see over time if Linux 6.1 ends up potentially being maintained for the longer six-year LTS period that would put it through 2028. However, the number of Linux LTS series being maintained in tandem is growing and will ultimately depend upon how much these kernels are used by major industry players and how much commitment there is for testing of the point release candidates, etc.
