Excellent forums. I have been a member for five years and it has been fantastic.

Wow. Just wow.

Reporting back!

Gparted and Gnome online account worked!

Thank you!

I will take a look at rclone too.

Thanks! I will check these guys out too.

Thanks for the info!

The personal stuff is backed up to Google Drive so if the laptop dies, nothing happens to them.

I will give g parted a shot too.

I have been deleting stuff for a long time. It is Windows plus very basic apps at this stage. It is a cheap laptop so I don’t want to replace the drive.

I like this idea. Zero partitions and presumably 30GB shared with dual boot into Windows and Mint. I need to read up on this one.

Yeah. I thought this was a good start.

Yeah, the computer’s main use is a printer at this stage and the printer connected to Mint fine. I could probably make the switch as long as the printer works…

I am reading that Google Drive doesn’t have a native Linux app but there are plenty of alternatives and ways to make it work. I guess I will try that as my first option or alternatively offload it all on to a USB stick and transfer it. I could look at sync options as well.

Somewhere in the install process I read 15 GB for Mint and ran with it. It works but nothing can be upgraded.

Forums are alive and well for BBQ. See Amazing Ribs forums and BBQ Brethren.

It is just nice to be able to comment and have it read instead of buried 3000 comments down after the memes and one-liners.

Sorry. No deal currently. I meant, that’s what I’d buy it at if it was on sale.

Please do!

I have to look up a bunch of these ones. Gaiman is excellent and the Ocean book is good but not his best. Mistborn is simply outstanding though and I devoured them. Hail Mary I know about and want it on sale. I don’t recognize the rest.

I would snatch it up on a sale for $5! I just finished the Martian and loved it.

I read those 25 years ago. I gotta say, I was a rather underwhelmed but by all means read Book 1 and form your own view.
