I read your post and found your research very interesting. HP Pavilion is what I run too, g7 for the 17" screen and full keyboard. For parts, I've found broken laptops nearly the same price and ended up with accumulation because parts differ from Intel to AMD and between models. My ...

Thanks for the suggestion. I have kernel 6.1.0.18 running on a near identical model AMD A6 laptop via Debian 12 Bookworm, dual boot with Win7. But the hd is Toshiba, not Seagate. Could be the Seagate drive. That laptop is apart until a part I stole from it comes in. But, I'll do some testing with ...

j2mcgreg The system information was not pertinent since I wasn't requesting help for that system. But for your information I am positing my record of what the system information was. I finally resorted to installing MX21 that installed without any issue and operated correctly after the first update ...

Whether you use copy & paste, drag=n=drop, the command line or a graphical interface (browsing to file and selecting it) to upload a file, the name of the file that transfers (I'm pretty certain) remains the same.

***EDITED: CORRECTED THE KERNEL VERSION IN THE SUBJECT LINE.

Until trying to figure out how you were able to display the version column, I hadn't seen the horizontal scroll bar.

which one?
the top one or the bottom one?

qgis.qgis fullname org.qgis.qgis
OR
qgis.qgis fullname org.qgis.qgis


I can't tell what version is which.

I'm not the brightest bulb in the pack. These instructions: https://www.qgis.org/fr/_sources/site/forusers/alldownloads.rst.txt
are about as clear as mud.

My confusion I guess comes from the detailed instructions for other distros like openSuse, BSD or Fedora, Debian and Ubuntu but I don't ...

j2mcgreg Agree about the keyboard. I'd always worked with a dedicated number pad so my laptop selection was made accordingly. The latest model (a small Latitude) has no number pad and worse, "home" and "end" are accessed using the "fn" function key in combination with "arrow left & right" keys at ...
