I have:
Installed utorrent for Windows
Downloaded linuxmint-19.1-mate-64bit.iso.torrent
Had torrent obtain the ISO file (1.98 GB)
Burned that ISO to a DVD, but did not know how to make it bootable
F1 and F2 do not interrupt the restart process for selection, so it is not clear to me that my Gateway SX2850-01 provides the option of booting from a DVD.
Also, I have not done a signature check for validity of the ISO file.
I see many possible pitfalls, not the least of which is knowing which sites to trust. I have both a Windows 10 and Ubuntu partition and could use either to do the burning.
Restarting the computer brings up a ten-second screen with five options. The first is Ubuntu. The fifth is Windows 10, which is the default is no other is selected. The other three are variations on Ubuntu recovery.
I would greatly appreciate a pointer on where to find trustable boot maker and general advice.
