I have a new laptop and I would like to put in AntiX. It has W10 default. My plan it to buy a second HD and put AntiX on it. Booting into linux you have to go into the Bios and activate Legacy BIOS boot mode.
AntiX will boot only in Safe video mode. Will it support the integrated Intel HD graphics so I can use the HDMI port? In safe Video mode the HDMI port does not work. . This in the specs page
