However, there was not something not right about the way that the windows were displayed on the desktop with title bars and window management not working as they should. It produced the result that I wanted: a working and loading operating system. Instead, I ended up with GRUB errors and, while I suppose that I could have resolved these, the lazier option of repeating the install with the right boot loader location was the one that I chose. When you have your operating system files on sdc, installation on the default of sda isn’t going to produce a booting system. By default, Ubuntu seems to take care of this but Mint leaves it to you. Once I selected the right disk for the boot loader, the main installation of Mint went smoothly. While I have been known to use Lubuntu and like its LXDE implementation, I stuck with the option of which I have most experience. For the record, Linux Mint isn’t just about the GNOME desktop but you also can have it with Xfce, LXDE and KDE desktops as well. Though there is a rolling variant based on Debian, I went for the more usual one based on Ubuntu that uses GNOME. With a long Easter weekend available to me and with thoughts of forthcoming changes in the world of Ubuntu, I got to wondering about the merits of moving my main home PC to Linux Mint instead.
