Total Time of 2-3 hours.
Asus X541N
Intel 4 Core N3450
Procedure
- Prepare the USB Boot Drive. I used Rufus in my Windows 10. Inserted it to Notebook before turning it on.
- F2 to go to Bios
- Guessing that the other “boot priority” was the USB and that I used a mouse to reassign it and F10 to save.
- Ubuntu Kylin Loaded and I went through the usual Ubuntu Install.
- Because I was Partition took >20mins because I installed it Along Side my Windows 10.
- Finished and Update
After Install Activities
- Upgraded LO to 5.4 (took half a day)
- GIMP
- KAZAAM (because I need to be able to make tutorials for work). Works So far.
- VLC
Challenges:
- How to install Libreoffice Offline Help.
- I cannot because I installed 5.4.2.2 BUT the offline help is 5.4.2.2-2. 🙁 3 hours lost figuring this out. Some of it was lost sleep.
- Installing the Chinese Input was Trial And Error. Unlike regular Ubuntu, changing the Language Settings doesn’t create a Chinese Desktop.
- Go to “Language Support” and go to Fcxit from ibus.
- Go to “Text Entry” and Add either Sunpinyin/Google Pinyin, or the other Pinyin. (I opted to gpinyin since I’m guessing it has better support).
- LO Templates. To have Style changes Saved.
- File > Templates > (set as default template) Save as Template. (Do not use Save As to save as a Template, and use Template Manager to Set as Default, it doesnt seem to work for me.)
- I’m using this to make my Gdocs Interface the same as LO Writer.
- I saved the default template in Cloud or Network so that other LO computers can adopt that template.
Objectives and Reasons
- Windows 10 was frustratingly slow. I realize to have an effective Experience with Windows 10 I need at least 3,000 passmark processor and 8+GB RAM.
- Power Point Kept Crashing.
- I tried using Task Manager to identify all my processes and Issues but its just too big.
- To experiment if Linux IS faster? To be able to make a Side By Side video of my Running Linux or Windows.
- From boot to Spreadsheet.
- Performing a A-typicall Worksheet Tasks. (Needs to be defined and Designed).
