What's This type problems


I have to get linux on a new windows box. Having had laptops for 15 years, I feel a bit like the soldier coming out of the forest who is told "The war has been over for ages." Laptops since 2007.

The video card has 4 sockets, and the third from the left fits my hdmi cable. What do the others fit? 4k?
What are the audio sockets? Line in, Line out, & ?? Are they 2 or 3 pin?
On the front, I have what looks like headphones & mic. I take it that's stereo headphones (3 pin) & mono microphone(2 pin)? Different to the 4 pin earphone things for mobile devices. That sort of detail matters when you're buying.

Yeah, that's the one. You just had to say 'Yeah, it's 4K.' I'm not going to 4k. But I know what plug to buy.

Everything's weird. Like my installation strategy was to boot off an iso. There doesn't seem to be a 'boot from' hotkey in the BIOS at startup. But it pays attention to one usb port - one of 2 in the front & 6 in the rear.

And Black Plastic = USB2, wher5eas blue plastic = usb3?
