rauljack-the_ripper,  Yes that's true but I am new to Linux and Fedora 25 does interest me but at this point Ubuntu Mate seems to be a good start point for me.06:10

jack-the_ripperjust giving you some options06:24
jack-the_ripperubunut is a good place to start06:25
ubuntu-mateanyone know if there is an easy way (on a Windows 10 / Ubuntu (the latest 16.10 i think) Dual boot system) to fix to restoring the boot info Ubuntu uses? While in Windows I ran a partition software to resize free space & when it rebooted (of course) Ubuntu can't boot.12:01
