    Installation not what I expected

    I did that stuff. I appreciate the info. I will try it again tomorrow when I can see straight. Some of that stuff I don't understand TBH. Like verifying the authenticity with the checksum file... What?? If I download it from this site I expect it is authentic. Is that an unrealistic expectation...

    Installation not what I expected

    The installer created and did all that I want to think. I recall there being two check boxes ticked. One for each partition. Mint 20.x I have watched a couple videos on youtube about it where they made the partitions, but the installer on theirs didn't have check boxes. I don't understand what...

    Installation not what I expected

    I downloaded and installed Mint Via usb. I thought it would install the OS on the hard drive as per the instructions. What I got is a hard drive that wont boot unless I have the thumb drive stuck in as well. Is this the way it is supposed to work? Is there a way to download it completely to the...

    Getting set up

    Having issues with sound. pretty badly. After just a few minutes of anything with sound it starts to fuzz out. Almost like static. If I switch my output it gets worse. Restarting it fixed it last time. For exactly 2 minutes 15 seconds... Thoughts? I don't see any updates available in my...

    Getting set up

    Not BIOS update, drivers for my RGB and other utilities that came with the motherboard. My computer definitely isn't prebuilt. That is one of the reasons I switched to Linux hoping my utilities would actually work. I still don't know if I have to somehow create these utilities or if I can just...

    Getting set up

    What about the drivers for my MOBO? Are they available or included? I tried to check out armory crate to see if it would work better on Linux than on windows, but there doesn't seem to be a version for me.

    Crap! I forgot I made that post. If a moderator wants to close this post I can work off of the other one. I did not mean to double post.

    Getting set up

    Hi all. Sorry if this has been asked a million times. I am just getting Mint set up. I am trying to figure out how to get everything set up. Everything like: Changing which screen is my main display. Interestingly Mint recognizes I have two displays and I didn't have to down load the drivers for...

    Fan control options and other set up questions

    I am hesitant to post this. I have used the search function a little and can't seem to find what I am looking for. I am used to using speedfan. A quick google search shows that there are some fan controllers out there but I wondered if there is a favorite among users? I like Mint so much just...

    Which Version?

    I appreciate your advice. Now that I got the silly thing to install, I can get started on the basics. As an interface, this is not what I expected. I expected something more along the lines of a dos based GUI. Once I get through the getting started stuff, I can poke around.

    Really lost trying to download Mint

    Brand new thumbdrive x 2. Wouldn't expect two new thumbdrives to die after one use in the same way. I have looked for a switch, can't find one anywhere. Not convinced win 10 ISO didn't do something terrible to my thumbdrives... it's a conspiracy I tell ya ;)

    Really lost trying to download Mint

    ok, check this out. I had the exact same thing happen on another stick. I haven't tried the third stick yet. First notice I can't delete the files on the thumb drive. That option isn't there. Then notice that the thing is write protected. Last notice the clean command throws an error. I saw this...

    Really lost trying to download Mint

    I wasn't taking a jibe at anyone, my apologies if it came across that way. Not even sure what I said that gives you that impression... I know I can use a pen drive, everyone has told me. I get it. I know they are only $5.00. I know I have 5 of them I can't figure out how to reuse. Maybe the...
