Just to let you know I installed LL3.8 on laptop(1) in signature, but this time used the 'erase-method'
you mentioned. So far so good in Legacy-Bios - laptop seems to be behaving very well. Yes, the erase-method
set a flag called 'boot' and installed LL as two partitions, '/root' and '/swap' on the MBR-ext4 formatted SSD.
I'll give it a month and report back here on how it's going. I'd forgotten how easy it is to install, including
the printer and scanner. I have given up installing Manjaro - the last straw today was getting the printer to work.
In contrast, LL auto-detects and auto-configures it - no input from me whatsoever, and it takes less than 10 seconds!!
I wasted a whole morning trying to get the printer to work in Manjaro, but to no avail.
So my daily driver is LL once again ...
