To start ALWAYS HAVE A BACK-UP OF EVERYTHING YOU EDIT, CHANGE OR ADD.I use bootable DVD's or USB drives with Paragon Hard Drive Manager 15, Other Linux OS's running live from a DVD or USB.For me Paragon is the best they only make it for Windows but you can boot to a USB or DVD and make system images of your Linux installs.With a system image if anything goes wrong you can just restore the working image!These are a few of the fixes I have had to use with Xubuntu/Ubuntu 18.04.2 "Bionic". The original 18.04 release was just really bad so I have beentrying each new one Xubuntu/Ubuntu 18.04, 18.04.1 and now 18.04.2 this one is close enough to make it run better than 16.04.2.Note:In 18.04 the apt-get has changed to just "apt" but apt-get still works.

(a little buggy)Or running a VM version of Windows, easier just to dual boot Linux & Windows.You can install games on a NTFS drive so if you already have a game drive or partitionyou can use that one. Click Steam, Settings, Downloads, STEAM LIBRARY FOLDERS,ADD LIBRARY FOLDER. Look under "Media" those will be your NTFS drives.(I made a folder D:\Linux\Games\Steam) You will need to mount that drive on start-up(give it Read & Write permissions under Linux) Settings, Disks, little gears under theVolume box, Edit Mount Options, Automatic Mount Options Off. You don't need to changeany settings they should work.Games that will Install on... less
