After never having used Linux before, I installed Ubuntu on a an old wounded Windows 11 machine without really knowing what I was doing and it worked!

I am this inclined to invoke the boot menu on start-up (is this ALT + F2 on PBP?) and install from the USB drive I used for the Win 11 machine.

Please advise.

I'm afraid it's not as easy as it is in the x86 world (Intel/AMD).

And you can't use the Ubuntu image that you used for your Win 11 machine (assuming it has an Intel or AMD CPU).

And judging from your post, it is probably better you start experimenting with installing new images on a micro SD card.

Thanks for your prompt reply. Wish me luck Smile
