Yes; tried it; unfortunately; unlike this Site; my "Dark Reader" extension wouldn't work so obviously anything with a white background it unacceptable unless there is no alternative; otherwise it seemed as good as any; I was keen on what appeared to be an option to select and ask about a segment of the answer but it turned out to just expand without accepting a particular answer; useful nonetheless;. After numerous attempts it couldn't answer my question with a response that worked about how to verify...

Hmm; have had it for a few days; just tonight: wouldn't open; screen semi blank for five mins. then got in OK; clipboard manager seems to have stopped functioning altogether; In using Bluetooth with an Android phone; the indication/statement was that numerous files were sent successfully but there is no evidence that they arrrived. I wouldn't know but I wonder whether a "lighter" OS doesn't always mean less stable.

Thanks; I've moved up the learning curve; given up on the dual boot option and did a clean install of PepOS (P) ; mainly because the Win. partitioning was such that I couldn't use Win. 10 for long as all available space was now in an apparently un/movable/changeable state; (I would have preferred a more popular Distro in the hope that there might be much more detailed documentation) but I had the installer and it looked easier to use the P installer to clean up the Disk. Will start a new post with...

Once the partitioning section was reached I was presented with around 200 options in combination; with no guidance I resorted to Google Gemini which helpfully advised to ignore them and choose nothing but the default. There was an indicated likely req't to have a separate partition for the EFI or whatever it's called. This seemed accurate as it wouldn't boot. Is there some/any Linux distro that has basic instructions on installing - other than a clean install - which might indicate how to get through...

I'm many hours into attempting an installation as a dual boot option with Win. 10. I knew that use of the Checksum wouldn't be a possibility but after a successful boot from a flash drive (f) I spent significant time on it. There is no .iso file or it's hidden so all information was useless; I could guess that it's hidden in the .squashfs but if anyone was interested there would be some guidance on what command lines to use. Having tried to install it on an 8GB partition (not recommended but I have...
