    I tried. I had a problem. It wouldn’t boot from my flash drive. I remember having a problem to similar to this previously… I might need a new flash drive…

    Edit: long answer… I am actually hauling my ass to do it now.

        SUCCESS!

        As of writing this comment, I have installed Linux Mint (cinnamon, latest version) on my laptop. I am in the process of updating stuff and figuring stuff out. I will need to make sure I can play all my games and do all the stuff I do before moving onto the big one: My ultra fancy desktop machine that I paid thousands upon thousands of dollars for.

        The problem was the USB. A long time ago I had issues with my computer and I needed to reinstall windows from a USB drive. I learned that you can’t use any old USB and it has to be a decent USB. I ordered a new one (not expensive. It was very cheap, but it was a Sandisk) and it worked brilliantly. Now it is time to actually learn to use it properly!
