I have an old laptop that I use as a Minecraft server as well as running RPG campaigns during game night. I’m getting tired of Windows 10 and I’m looking for a good replacement. I don’t have a lot of experience with Linux lately, the last time I did anything with it was maybe 10 years or so ago and I used Ubuntu, which I’ve read here is maybe not a good choice any longer. Stats of laptop are below. Recommendations are appreciated, thanks.

Processor Intel® Core™ i7-4800MQ CPU @ 2.70GHz 2.70 GHz Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.8 GB usable) Graphics Card NVIDIA Quadro K2100M (2 GB), Intel® HD Graphics 4600 (113 MB)

    I’m not too versed in grub, but did you change anything regarding UEFI? You might have to disable some BIOS/UEFI safe mode or toggle between BIOS and UEFI.

      I ended up reinstalling without Win 10 and it still isn’t finding it. I’ll have to check on a toggle later

        Did you nuke the whole disk? Just 1 big Linux partition?

        Try enabling/disabling Secure Boot.
