FreeDOS .img was burned to a USB drive via balena etcher.
A UEFI only desktop does not recognize the FreeDOS USB stick for boot. USB bootup tests, on a BIOS laptop, indicates a successful legacy boot.
The Dell 7010 desktop firmware is old and for some reason: only UEFI boot. The Legacy boot option is greyed-out. Booting from the DVD/CD is not possible
The goal is to update the firmware with a DOS executable provided at this link:

When a unknown file type is to be opened, a list of applications is presented and an application is chosen. What are the steps to add Sublime editor to the list in Ubuntu 16.04?
Firefox 69.0.1 on Ubuntu: How does one save a group of tabs as single line-item? It would be very useful to be able to recall the saved group in a future browsing session.
What are the Ubuntu options to create CSV tables from an image:
Ideally, options would be simple and quick. Image is from Yield Curve article
Assume a set of .docx files are in a directory to be converted to .pdf format. Is there a clever way to list the files and pipe it into a command that would 'print' the pdf files to a target directory? For example the resulting output of
ls -l *.docx
would be fed into the pdf-command (how this is done is at your discretion).
Assume MS-Word is not installed on the PC (Office Libre installed).
Preference is for solutions requiring minimal installation of Ubuntu utilities / packages and are well documented. Thank you

The Lexmark E210 support site provides the printer driver for RedHat Linux systems, however, I think that is not for Debian-based distributions like Ubuntu.

How can I confirm that the device is at: /dev/ttyUSB0 without unplugging the USB device?
ls /dev/tty* | grep USB
returns /dev/ttyUSB0 only when the device is plugged in, which seems to confirm the USB port location. I am seeking a confirmation process does not involve unplugging the USB device.
the USB device is not a disk: it is a ESP32 microcontroller
Is there a filesystem and encryption combination that works across the 3 operating systems? Assume OSX High Sierra, Windows 10, 16.04. Bonus round if you have successfully done this before (please state in reply). Read / Write access is required.
It would be best if I could encrypt the flash drive so that it is not easily accessed if it were lost. That being said it makes sense to select a combination of filesystem and encryption that works across the three platforms in my environment (if possible)
A large number of .ppt (Powerpoint) files are available to the command line in various directories of a USB drive. The goal is to find the .ppt file with a case sensitive phrase:

It would be preferable if the search mechanism where recursive. Bonus-round for explanations that with an explanation the trapping mechanism and build-out to recursively searching the disk. Thank you
Success thanks to Steeldriver for pointing to helpful search mechanism:
grep -rnw '/path/to/somewhere/' -e "pattern"
-r or -R is recursive, -n is line number, and -w stands for match the whole word. -l (lower-case L) can be added to just give the file name of matching files.Along with these, --exclude, --include, --exclude-dir or --include-dir flags could be used for efficient searching:
This will only search through those files which have .c or .h extensions:
grep --include=\*.{c,h} -rnw '/path/to/somewhere/' -e "pattern"
This will exclude searching all the files ending with .o extension:
grep --exclude=*.o -rnw '/path/to/somewhere/' -e "pattern"
--exclude-dir and --include-dir parameter. For example, this will exclude the dirs dir1/, dir2/ and all of them matching *.dst/:grep --exclude-dir={dir1,dir2,*.dst} -rnw '/path/to/somewhere/' -e "pattern"
This works very well for me, to achieve almost the same purpose like yours.
For more options check man grep.
16.04 is installed alongside Windows. I will free space for 16.04 by shrinking the Windows partition. I understand that it is necessary to boot from a CD \ USB and use a tool like partimage to reallocate disk space.
When resizing the 16.04 partition gParted provided a warning:
Moving a partition might cause your operating system to fail to boot
Results include 16.04 indicating in the file manager that there is now 25GB (previously 13GB).
More information on the original state is documented (click here)
The Windows partition was shrunk with the diskmgmt.msc console.. gParted was used to resize (expand) the Ubuntu partition: originally 13GB.

I am accustomed to using Putty on a Windows box or an OSX command line terminal to SSH into a NAS, without any configuration of the client.
Ubuntu 16.04 attempts to SSH into the NAS (via LAN):
ssh [email protected]
Unable to negotiate with 192.168.8.109 port 22: no matching host key type found. Their offer: ssh-dss
A monitor is attached to a Win10 box and a second monitor to 16.04. The right monitor is 16.04 and left monitor is Win10.
I am seeking the name of the "class of software" that describes all instances that performs the function. For example, MS-Excel is a member of the spreadsheet class.
Is there a class of software that allows the Win10 keyboard/mouse pair to detect when the user sends the mouse off the right-edge of the monitor to signal intent to send mouse+keyboard inputs to 16.04? These controls signals could be sent through the LAN. Naturally, the reverse from 16.04 to Win10 would be needed to return the KB/Mouse commands back to the Win10 box.
Hopefully, I have explained this concept well: I welcome any improvement.
The neighbor's 2005 tech (desktop and laptop) both have 512MB with XP. The plan is to replace XP with either lubuntu or Ubuntu (preferable).
lubuntu with 512M is tolerable on the desktop (Dell XPS400): not so with Ubuntu. Before I buy any RAM (2GB Max) for either computer, I would like to know if I can expect users to have a responsive experience on Ubuntu with 2GB. The latop is a EEE-PC 1000HE.
If you have experience running Ubuntu 16.04 on 2GB of RAM please state this in your response, hardware (SSD?), and comment if it is responsive. If it is not, then I am inclined to just leave them with 512MB and install lubuntu. Thank you
Update: Received temporary custody and here are the updated specs
Two Elitebook HP laptops (different models) use the same type SATA drive. Ubuntu 16.04 was installed on laptop A. If it is transplanted to laptop B, can I expect it to work correctly if I haven't done any important modification to the default settings?
I realize that I can simply perform the transplant, however, it makes sense to pose the question to avoid any landmines and avoid wasting time.
