Burning ISO flash drive seems problematic?

FYI: 4.2 UEFI-test booted on both my laptops. I got the Live-CD desktop. (I didn't try installing. I don't want to spend time on an older version.).

I feel silly coming in here all fired up about an ISO problem. That was a strange "wait, what?" moment (when I realized I had assume too much about the official download).

After poking around more, I can see that this has a "history" centered upon dislike for UEFI. (I'm *very* sympathetic. I haven't liked UEFI either. It's amazingly confusing. But.... it's a quixotic position now, isn't it?  :Smile In some ways, it's almost like your *punishing* all the sell-outs who bought UEFI equipment. It's *our* fault for enabling the oppressor. Wink ).

I also saw a "what's coming" communication which said 5.0 might have UEFI support. I sincerely hope you can get there. 4.8 is a *really* nice distro. I love the desktop. It's simple/clean, but not unpolished (which those terms can often imply, like Puppy or Antix). It's eye catching, but not overdone with animations and eye candy. It's just pleasant.

I used Lubuntu LXDE for four years. When I reached the point that I had to upgrade to the new LXQt desktop, it was different enough for me to distro hop. I used MX 18.1 the past 9 months. I'm on Peppermint 10 now. Linux Lite is in that same category of small, simple, clean -- but nicely/elegantly done (not just rough-around-the-edge hobbyist distro). To me, it would be a great alternative to Lubuntu.

If you're working on making UEFI support more mainstream in your distro, I'd be happy to help test. (It's time to stop leaving us disloyal UEFI people six versions back! Its not our fault!).
