Any and all help would be so greatly appreciated. I’ve been battling with my laptop to be able to dual-boot Ubuntu Cinnamon and Windows 10 for about four days now. I’ve probably gone down five or six different rabbit-holes of troubleshooting, GRUB command-line fun, reinstalling and updating the BIOS, trying and failing to...

I have been distro hopping for about 2 weeks now, there’s always something that doesn’t work.

Hi! I’m currently using XFCE on my laptop, I was previously using Compify as my compositor (XFWM is quite rough), but stopped when I noticed I could no longer get through the day on one charge.
