Re: Update Manager Error - Target ... configured multiple times
Actually, most of the warnings, which Update Manager displays to you, are about "target .... configured multiple times ...", in plain English: about duplicate entries. You can fix this problem, without resetting everything to factory defaults: Many thanks again karlchen. That did the trick.

Re: VirtualBox 6.1.2 for Linux

Pop!_OS - any opinions?
Been looking a the distro Pop!_OS and wondered what the forum thinks of it. I was considering running it in VM but is it worth my trouble in my quest to find out more about Linux. Look forward to opinions of what I am considering. TIA
