Hi everyone, I’m new to Linux and this is my first time really working with it, so please bear with me if I’m missing something obvious. I bought a used Dell Latitude E5250 specifically to install Linux, test things, and just play around. I decided to go with Linux Mint Cinnamon. I created a...

The other day I set up a fresh installation of Linux Mint, and after a couple hours my desktop environment broke. After restarting, I ended up in busybox with EXT4 file system corruption and I/O errors. I’ve tried everything I could think of (which isn’t a lot, I’m new to Linux) but even...

So I just bough a SSD Kingston NV2 M.2 PCIe Gen4 NVMe 512GB like last month, I used it to boot linux but then I noticed the ssd's temp raise a little too high, making the BIOS saying S.M.A.R.T status is bad, I thought the SSD is just bad and I got a faulty one, so I just go for a warrant, they...

I get the error Error wiping device: Failed to probe the device '/dev/sdb' (udisks-error-quark, 0) whenever I try to format the drive. I am starting to get worried because I've tried lots of methods like the "security password XXXX" method, and they have not worked.

I bought a Thinkpad t450 few months ago and it came with an Intel 256GB SSD. Then I wiped windows and installed Endevour OS on it and encrypted it using Cryptsetup. But I forgot to check hard drive health when I bought the laptop and unfortunately it failed to boot after using a week. My entire...
