How do I put MX_Linux onto my Lenovo ThinkPad (E15 Gen 3) ?

Thanks again, everyone, for the help. It has been a learning experience. I finally caved and sent the laptop to a computer specialist and he did a clean install of MX_Linux.

Now I have a lot of reinstalling to do, like Gimp. But that is actually fun.

I believe GIMP comes preinstalled on MX, doesn't it? By the way, protip: when you install software use MX Package Installer.

Thanks for the tip. No, I had to install it. And I am being very careful in what I install. A few years back I had dependency problems when I added something I shouldn't have. That was Linux Mint, but I imagine the same could happen with any distro.

GIMP may no longer be default in MX21 because it's kind of large and heavy for basic drawing, if I remember correctly.
