Maybe the Dell computer is more problematic than lots of other laptops. I think it was caused by: Inexperience and personal cluelessness. Now I am having trouble because this questionnaire keeps asking for more detail and refusing to accept the question even though I have given all of the information I have. I have tried choosing various files to boot from but none of them worked. I have tried: I have read every article I could find and this one was the most detailed but even it didn't tell me this one detail about the proper choice of files for the Boot Selection. I didn't have enough experience to know which file to chose from the USB flash drive LinuxMint installation. The Dell Boot sequence, at least for my 4 year old XPS 13, is more complicated than I have had with other laptops.

Any advice you can give (also for when I want to actually do the install in order to replace Dell's Win8.1 OS with the LinuxMint on the internal SSD) will be greatly appreciated. Sorry to make such a long story out of such an easy question. Please tell me which file to chose for the Boot Option. If I chose the linuxmint-19-cinnamon folder I can chose from "casper-rw", "linuxmint-19-cinnamon-64bit-v2.ISO". There are many files in the main multiboot directory (such as syslinux.cfg) and also other folders (menu, ISOS, and linuxmint-19-cinnamon). Clicking on that multiboot directory, I must chose which file to boot from. I open the EFI Boot Selection and the USB drive lists "multiboot" which is what YUMI created. Then I must give the file name for the boot. Under this option I first give my option the name "USB Drive". Finally I went to the Boot Sequence (which now has only "Windows Boot Manager" and the "UEFI: Samsung SSD") and am trying to "Add Boot Option". Then under System Config I checked that "Enable Boot Support" and "Enable External USB Port" were both checked. Next I made sure that "Secure Boot" was Disabled. There I have made sure that POST Fastboot is set to "Thorough". In order to set the boot sequence, I press F2 during the startup and get into the BIOS setup. The computer is a Dell (I think this was the first XPS 13, about 4 years old). I want to boot from the USB to try it live before installing it on my old computer.

I have a San Disk 16GB USB flash drive which I have installed a Mint ISO using YUMI.

My Linux Mint 19 now looks like Mac OS X Mojave. Manjaro Linux, Linux Mint, and Debian GNU/Linux are probably your best bets out of the 16 options considered. I am pretty satisfied with the result I get here. To add Slingscold shortcut/icon to the Plank dock, you will need to manually drag and drop the Slingscold icon from the /usr/share/applications folder. To install the Slingscold, use the following command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:noobslab/macbuntu

It is a full screen launcher that will change the way you access or open your installed applications. Slingscold is a Mac style application launcher. Sudo unzip mac-fonts.zip -d /usr/share/fonts rm mac-fonts.zip
These are not the official Mac fonts but at least it looks pretty similar. To install the Mac style fonts, use the following command to download and install the Mac fonts. And then right click the Menu at the top left corner and select Configure. On the picture above, you still can see the Linux Mint menu at the top left corner. There are some great wallpaper in 5K that will make your Linux Mint looks like Mac OS X Mojave. To make it more Mac OS X look alike, you can download the Mac OS X Wallpaper from this link. Execute this command on Terminal to open the Plank’s preferences plank -preferences Sudo apt-get install macbuntu-os-plank-theme-v1804
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:noobslab/macbuntu Now, let’s install the Plank theme so it looks like the Mac OS X.
Now you should have Plank dock on your screen. Now let’s install plank sudo apt install plank

Watch the following animated picture to see how to move the panel. Before we install this dock, we better move the default Linux Mint panel to the top. Plank is a Mac style dock that usually appear at the bottom of the screen. But to make it even better, continue with the following steps Step 2. At this point, your window border now should looks like Mac OS X.
