I decided to dual boot it with Peppermint 10 so that the kids can experience Linux. Setting up dual-booting and installing Peppermint 10 was a breeze. Everything worked fine until I decided that GRUB may be too daunting for those kids that haven’t used Linux before. The Linux kernel is installed. 7: Most of the Gentoo system configuration files are created. 8: The necessary system tools are installed. 9: The proper boot loader has been installed and configured. 10: The freshly installed Gentoo Linux environment is ready to be explored. The upcoming sections provide details. See the Contents sidebar to the left for links to specific installation procedures. For most Linux users, an RPM or Debian package is the best way to go. If your Linux system doesn't support these formats, though, or if you're running macOS, using the refind-install script can be a good way to go.

The upcoming sections provide details. See the Contents sidebar to the left for links to specific installation procedures. For most Linux users, an RPM or Debian package is the best way to go. If your Linux system doesn't support these formats, though, or if you're running macOS, using the refind-install script can be a good way to go. I am thinking of buying a Acer Aspire 5 with Windows 10 Home. I'd like to set up a dual boot with the majority of the hard drive dedicated to Ubuntu 20.04. There are a few threads about Acer machines but many are several years old.

I've found a Dell Precision (spec below) refurbished online.
Last year I bought an Asus which I'm going to sell on at a loss - it fought against Ubuntu installation, and in my ignorance I hadn't realised how limiting a fairly early i3 processor would be. Other issues too, though it works perfectly on Windows.
Before I get financially burned again, if this Dell machine stays available long enough, would you recommend it as suitable for dual-boot installing alongside its Windows10 with Ubuntu 20.04?
I am no expert, but have installed dual boot with earlier Ubuntu editions on other laptops. The Asus defeated me, my ability is limited to fairly straightforward installations.
With thanks.
