Endless OS 5.0 Is Out with Refreshed Desktop Experience, Wayland Support
Linux for a newbie
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

"vmx (outside txt) disabled by BIOS installing linux &/or running usb live linux obsolete BIOS
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?
