Conversion from Windows to Linux Ubuntu 11
cochinada:
I've just confirmed and I'm using NTFS indeed.
I guess that if all those other OS versions are supported, I'll then probably choose the one that makes the migration the easiest. I will do some research about the differences between all those, especially the Fedora you are using.
I will also try to find those threads you mention although I wasn't very lucky earlier.
Is it possible to import the MC configuration from Windows into Linux or is it totally incompatible? If it was than maybe it is just a matter of changing or editing some details related for instance to letters not being used in Linux and perhaps replacing '\' with '/' or vice versa.

You can import a windows configuration on Linux, but you will need to update the file paths and make a few manual changes. Have a look at this post/thread for the manual steps that I took to do the conversion:

You can also try the "portable library" feature. That's worked for some folks, but is not how I personally did my migration.

Thank you very much! I took a glance already but I'll have to read it carefully and also the other links as well.
So, does that mean that I can keep my data disk untouched and "just" adapt the MC configuration after importing it from windows to my new Linux system?
Awesome Donkey:
Yes, you should be able to just mount your data disk in Linux (if you need read/write for NTFS, make sure you enable that) and change the paths of your files in MC's library to point to the new mount location.

Well, I've bought the new license and have already installed Debian 11 but I have already to issues.
I was trying to install MC28 for Linux following the instructions here_
https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,129788.0.html
So, I opened a Terminal window and wrote this command:
curl -O https://git.bryanroessler.com/bryan/installJRMC/raw/master/installJRMC && chmod +x ./installJRMC
but I got the error that curl was not found, even when I switched to root user.
The 2nd issue is that my data disk was not mounted by default.
P.S. I never installed Linux before in my life so this is all very daunting to me!
