Asus also has a great BIOS UI. And the desktop UI is great too. Make BIOS changes after booting. It's really convenient.

I have put my P8P67 through hell, not only by all the BIOS changes, but physically modding the heatsinks and what not. It's never failed. See the photo I posted above....the heatsinks used to be blue....but they took a bath in drain cleaner....

I wouldn't say Linux is any harder than Windows. But if you're unfamiliar with it, it would seem that way. I supposed Apple users would say OSX is easier than Linux, but I get lost in OSX because I rarely use it.

Linux dominates in all but the desktop market. But the desktop market is where the average user interacts with their OS, so it's what most people are familiar with. Most people don't like major change, so people freaked when Windows 8 changed the way we interact with that OS. I'm glad to see when people are willing to try something new, and take the time to stick with it.

I know Ubuntu didn't work out for you, but I saw you had put some effort to trying it out though :)

I'm using Debian "Sid".

I saw post, that Windows can die soon if Adobe will support Linux. In my opinion, Windows don't die quickly, not even if linux become more popular. Microsoft profit is from enterprise, companies and support(MSSQL, Windows, SharePoint etc.). They are not orentied to home users. They give for home users, to use their OS, people accustomed to Windows, and they want to use Windows in their jobs :) From here Microsoft money comes :)

I'm used Linux for years, but Windows is more user friendly. Linux is for more advanced users, not home users, who do simple daily tasks.

Guys, I've run into a problem. So today I decided to update my BIOS, and install Mint. So I updated the BIOS. Went fine. Then, because my live CD was in it booted to it, so I proceeded to boot Mint, and install it on one of my partitions, on the same drive as Linux. Goes smoothly. Then, I reboot, but remove the live CD and so on, and it boots to a funny message from the BIOS. I try rebooting, same thing. So I can't boot to Windows or Mint. But I went into the BIOS, and used it's Boot Override function and I was able to boot into Windows. However, the BIOS only detects the SSD, but it will automatically choose the Windows partition. Should I try installing GRUB or something? Here's that funny message:

Anybody here that can read computer error language?

As for my BIOS issue, it's fixed.

But I now face another issue.

Because I have a GPT partition table, I can't boot Mint.

So, I want to change my partition table, but the mere thought of having to reinstall all my Windows applications, restore all my settings, and all my files, is killing me.

So what would be the best way to back up my SSD, or some parts of it, mainly the apps and files, and data associated with them, and then once I'm done reinstalling Windows and Mint, restore my apps and files and data?

[Off-topic] Draciel882:
First of all we would need to know what OS and graphics cards you're running. But generally in Windows if you have two different screens hooked up and they're different sizes, you can set their resolutions separately in the display properties. Make sure that you're not mirroring the displays and that you're extending the desktop.

Go with a Nikon 3200 it's has enough options to make you feel like your really good but has a training program inside to help you become better, make sure you get the kit sense it includes the 18-55mm lens which is good to start with but I strongly recommend getting a 50mm once you have that on you will barely use the other but it's nice having both for different situations. Then later on look into getting a 55-200mm for zoom but you can wait to pick that up cause it's not an overly used lens.
