My family bought a dell vostro 3468 in a time of emergency

Came with ubuntu(16.04 I think, maybe 18)

It was dead slow after a few updates, thanks to snap

We loaded windows on it and it was my second main computing machine ever

I recently installed openSUSE tumbleweed on it with kde and it's awesome! (Except for a dead battery)

3 years later, hands unfinished work to junior dev after the system they re-invented has also become obsolete

Was there some thing I could have...

Almost all new major home computing solutions support it!

The MBR layout was the issue

When I wiped the drive, everything fixed itself!

Loving tumbleweed so far

I wish 😭

It refuses to install... I got a dell vostro 3468 running on legacy BIOS. I'm coming from windows and there's an NTFS partition full of data I'm trying to preserve...

The guided partitioning errors out(usually runs out of space, and no packages can continue installing so they throw errors), and using the expert partitioning throws a couple of grub errors at the end when it's installing grub

It was really good when I last tried it on another device

The mental gymnastics needed to understand joins 😂

That kinda reminds me of android xD

Read only system with partitions for data and more

That's just tax evasion
