Yes, things folks will want to prepare for before installing LM and things to do after installing LM with pictures.
Additionally, other things about LM in general.
Wine is a swine, I don´t mean to whine, but it makes my forehead shine because I can´t run eCtouch

I should have noticed this sooner. We're an English-only website. So, you have to use English. There are translators online, if you need them.

Start by creating a new thread on the forum, under the 'Getting Started' sub-forum.

Your question isn't what profile posts are for.
Hi, welcome

I’ve seen this issue a few times, and in many cases it’s related to the kernel or missing firmware.

You can first check which kernel you’re running with:
uname -r

If it’s an older kernel, updating it sometimes fixes hardware problems (especially Wi-Fi and graphics). Also make sure the linux-firmware package is installed, since some devices won’t work properly without it.

Let us know which distro and hardware you’re using and people here can give more specific advice.
How do you install Linux without USB ports?

do you have an operating system (for example windows) installed on the device?

If you have access to another PC with working ports and a HDD reader, you can plug your HDD into another Computer with USB ports, install it to the HDD from that computer, then plug your HDD back into the other machine. When I rebuilt my Mac, it has non-working USB ports and that was the only way that I could reinstall (at the time, OS 10.13).
Today I have tried to play BTTF DVD but it didn´t work. Will troubleshoot more tomorrow. This day has been a cleaning day, like yesterday, so I didn´t have time to sit properly and try to fix the DVD problem
By the way, I am thinking of biting the bullet and making my laptop mint too, but since it´s a really good laptop, I am scared of breaking something HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Today I got frustrated with git and Github and deleted everything and reconnected everything at least 3 times before I was satisfied. I will probably forget what I've learned but that's okay. Also, me using this old pc from 2000's makes it slow somertimes, even with xfce mint on it. So I am thinking of upgrading the RAM to 8 GiB and see how it fares.
Wish me luck, I am scared lol
Today I learned how to use github on the terminal, it´s fun but now I am even more confused because I have 2 folders that are blue and can´t be clicked on. I am not sure what I am doing to be honest.
Then it took me FOREVER to find a way to make Helium browser work haha
And yesterday I made the desktop look really pretty!

Today and yesterday I learned that MBR errors can be fixed in BIOS with boot orders. Also I found out that there is a small battery that is used for BIOS to work and be shown on a screen. I took a lot of stuff apart and accidentally broke the PCIe release thingy. Now I am resetting that old pc and then I will install Mint on it :3
I upgraded my acer nitro 5 from win 10 to win 11 because windows update stated that this pc met the requirements. 5 months later the pc did not want to boot after the latest 25 update. i slapped in a different hhd drive with win 11 and still did not want to boot. I installed a hdd drive with pre-installed linux mint xia. The pc booted immediately. I have been using Linux mint for about a year now and have it installed on 3 laptops. I swear by it. Thankyou Linux.
