   I've put both my Windows drive and my Linux drive,   
   on Port 1 and Port 3. I use the Popup boot key F8   
   on my Asus motherboard equipped computer, to select   
   which OS I want to boot. The images here, some   
   were collected from Windows, some collected from LM221.

   Tools used:   
      
      sudo apt install gparted   # partition management   
      gnome-disks                # Installed by default   
      df                         # disk free builtin from Unix days   
      
   Nemo, Thunar, PCMANfs, Nautilus and so on, depends on the distro.   
   Those are like the Windows file explorer. Use the icon to start one   
   of the resident ones, check the Help and see if it declares its name :-)   
      
   Some of the idiot things say "Files" at the top bar, but this   
   is dishonest and reckless labeling. The program should be   
   labeled with its executable name -- if you're ashamed of your   
   workmanship, then don't pick stupid names for them o.O   
      
   If I'm being expected to enter ./toilet , I do not want   
   to see "Bog" as the label at the top of the window.   
   Consistent, there is a tradition of consistency in design,   
   and we should sticktoit.
