Thanks for the advice so far! I have neither attachment nor aversion to any
particular desktop and wouldn't know the the difference between KDE, Gnome, or
Unity. At this point, Unity is the one will be most familiar with since I have
been using the last 24 as I've been booting from a Ubuntu flash drive
attempting to get my computer working again.
So, even though I don't get wireless, I plugged into an ethernet cable and was
able to get online. Went to install MuseScore, and without asking it gave me
1.2. I take it there are handstands I can go through in order to get 1.3, but
this is one of the things I am hoping to avoid by picking the "right" Linux in
the first place. Are there distros that tend to get MuseScore updates more
regularly?
