I'm having profound difficulty following what command to run under what circumstance, where, and in what order. The commands have changed multiple times now and I'm completely lost. I'm not technically familiar enough to just ... 'know' where to do this. Could you please explain a clear sequence of what I should run, where, in relation to the steps I ourtlined in the OP? > Then you're probably done.

Did you ask here > about those issues? Thats disappointing. I didnt realise Linux was so fragile. Windows recovery is normally very easy by comparison The issues were wide ranging. Much of the course software would not install as described. Virtual machines were a nightmare and still dont work properly. Lots of hardware problematic or not supported (display, touchpad, touchscreen) , extremely sluggish performance, the software center repeatedly crashing and repository issues... a LOT. I've asked in a few other place and generally got little to no response at all. I had a dollar for every time people had told me 'thats unusual, Fedora is really good!', but then having no explanation or solution, I could probably buy a windows license off eBay and done a different course As it is, class starts on Monday and my computer wont boot. I'd prefer not to forfeit my course fee but if this is genuinely unsolvable, I guess I've learned at least one lesson about Linux.... _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
