Good to know. Um, I'll pick a stick I don't like just in case. Big Grin

Ventoy allows you put multiple ISOs (including Windows) on one USB, so that's probably what you're seeing in regards to "windows distros". You'll install Ventoy and then copy the ISOs onto the USB partition the installer makes.

Thanks.

I'm not looking at Windows, as the laptop is having some issues since I last applied updates. While it still works, I can plug into my network and it works fine, but it won't see my WiFi even though it used to. Other devices in the house are all fine, just not this one. And I don't think it's the laptop as I can connect to other WiFi networks. Just not mine.

My best guess is a registry entry got dorked up, and rather than try to hunt it down, I just figured time to do something different.

It's getting long in the tooth, but, I think it will work better with a different OS.

It's been a long time since I've worked with Linux, and this seems like a good opportunity to get back into it and have a little fun.
