Download the Ubuntu 16.04 file here.
It is a .deb file (not .rpm) - so right-click on the downloaded .deb file > Open with gDebi > Install...
Very easy... click, click, click :mrgreen:

Re: Cinnamon vs Mate

I consider the Cinnamon file manager (Nemo) to be much better than the Mate file manager (Caja). That is one of the deciding factors for me.

Re: When did you come to Linux?

I started out with Mandrake in 1998 - which I purchased in a big package with a printed book and a stack of 5 1/4 discs. I progressed to PCLinuxOS and Mandriva, then Ubuntu, and finally Mint in 2008. There are certainly some other distros that I like - Peppermint, Korora, Netrunner... but nothing th...

Re: Cannot install 18.3 Cinnamon 64 on 4TB drive - won't boot

Any reason you can see for *not* going SSD for boot 'n swap? I have my root partition on a 128GB SSD, and the swap partition on the big HDD.
