I don't get it, can you Xplain?

The cynic in me says maybe your coworker was just taking their time

Yeah just tried it again now.

I deleted the partition again first, then when I got to the installer, it had created a new 50GB partition and mounted /var/crash and /var/log which can't be unmounted (tried force unmount and all that jazz)

I recently tried this for the first time for my grandad on an old dying laptop of his which was struggling to run at any speed.

During the install it had already messed with the hard drive partitions in order to run the live environment, which is a big no-no for me.

The whole point of the live environment is it shouldn't change the system until you try to install!

It also meant I no longer had a free partition to install to anymore so I couldn't even get through the installer since I also couldn't resize etc. because the partition was in use.

Been using Debian/Ubuntu based Linux for about 20 years and never seen this issue until Pop! OS

Also doesn't allow you to export so you can't switch to another service

This isn't an ad, it's a suggested result from one of our partners

Learned this lesson the hard way, once bought a cheap replacement laptop charger for one that had broken.

It didn't work and instead borked the backlight of my screen. I then discovered that on this model, the backlight couldn't be separately replaced, had to buy and fit a whole new screen and then also buy another replacement charger.

Not really surprising, Microsoft has been going a lot harder on the PC and cloud front, so it makes sense that their audience is split between those and Xbox, meanwhile Sony exclusives are only available on PS5.

Yes, the point they're making is that if you upgrade the laptop components, you can use the old components as another PC

It says right in your first link that it doesn't support self signed certs
