cinnamon-session-cinnamon [SOLVED]
I’m doing my best, there’s too much stuff to read
What exact make and model phone do you have @confusion?
I often wonder that as well.
However.....when you are new to Linux it can be overwhelming. Not being familiar with certain terms and the meanings ie
BIOS, NIC, Bootable .iso and the like.When I install Linux Mint Cinnamon and get it the way I like...I'll create an image of it with both Foxclone and Timeshift (not on the same Drive).
Should anything happen...it's simple to put the image or Timeshift snapshot back on the Drive with nothing lost...the only time I need to do a clean install is when I move from 21.1 to 22.1 in two years time.
It’s an iPhone 6s Plus
You might be able to download Linux Mint to your iphone.
Do you have a cable to connect the phone to your HP?
A factory reset you ask?
With Linux Mint that would be Timeshift. However I recall you saying you weren't sure what Timeshift is and it wasn't installed.
OR> create a new user but then there is the network manager that didn't get re-installed.
You can 'factory reset' that HP Notebook most likely in the BIOS friend.
Be back I'm looking up the specs on your iphone-

Would a usb cable work?
Ok your iphone has 128
*Try the charging cable that you use to charge your phone.
My charger for my phone has an 2 prong plug at the end.
When I need the usb part I pull apart the 2 prong plug and it's off to the races.

Let me know when you are sure.
In the meantime I'll see if Apple has a app to transfer the .iso of Mint to your laptop.
Have you by chance tried Recovery Mode?
I have not, what is that?
