   I find Linux great for using on older machines that my friends give me   
   when they upgrade. For the most part I've been using Ubuntu and anytime   
   I put the drive in a different machine, it simply boots up and   
   reconfigures with no problems.   
      
   The other day I tried to transplant a Mint 20.3 HD into different   
   hardware an the system just plain would not boot. I tried six different   
   machines before I gave up.   
      
      
   Though I started with RedHat Linux 5.2 ages ago, I never did make the   
   transition to Fedora, but tried Fedora 40 today and am quite pleased   
   with it.   
      
   I tested the drive in a number of machines and just like Ubuntu, it   
   booted right up with no problems so I am thinking of using Fedora as an   
   additional OS rather than Mint   
      
   One thing I liked also was that it automatically detected and installed   
   my Brother laser printer that I had quite a bit of difficulty to get to   
   work with Ubuntu and Mint   
      
      
   Just out of curiosity though, is there anything I could do to prep my   
   Mint install to work with new hardware?   
      
   Thanks
