    The POSIFLEX issue might have to do with MBR. On your final linux installation, your partition table should NOT be using gpt but mbr and that might solve the issues.

    It has to do with older BIOS not recognising gpt and henceforth being unable to boot from the disk.

    N.B. you might have to configure your GRUB/systemd loader accordingly.



  • I had the same problem with a MSI GF65.

    I had an Intel AX201, which is basically the same device as the intel killer wifi card on the GS65.

    I battled with the issue for a very long time. It came from Windows and only from Windows. You have to disable fastboot and there is a way to shut it down “fully” which you have to do.

    If that does not solve it your only way out of it is to reinstall Windows.




  • Because it’s not about installing them, it’s making them work that’s not intuitive. I have an nvidia card and some linux experience, it was hard for me to set it up. If you have no background on linux, making it work might make you abandon it. In those cases it’s better to go with something that has everything figured out for you.







  • Your mint setup is fine to start learning, as others have said. Start with something simple : python, javascript, …

    For programming, there are tools available on every OS. However I have found that those tools are easier to use on Linux. Okayish to use on MacOS. Programming with Windows, on the other hand is, well… it certainly is possible, but… see for yourself.

    For instituitions it varies depending on each one of them. Usually they have their own tools because it is easier to organise a class if everyone works on the same IDE but if you get good enough it does Not matter what is your OS/IDE of choice. VSCodium is nice but anything like kwrite/kate/gedit/geany is good enough. Hell, even nano can get the job done.
