Hi, I'm glad you found the video helpful! Switching to Linux can indeed be a great choice, especially considering recent developments in the tech industry. Recall and Copilot have raised concerns about privacy and control over our software tools, making open-source alternatives like Linux more appealing to many users. Sharing your positive experience and encouraging others to consider Linux is fantastic! It's a community-driven operating system with a wealth of resources and support available. Plus, by switching to Linux, you're joining a vibrant community that values privacy, transparency, and user control. I'll try to make more Linux videos in the future. Have a nice day!

If you have an internal D: drive, I would recommend installing Linux Mint to that and leave your c: drive (windows) alone. This has the advantage of leaving your windows drive completely untouched and you won't have to fiddle with boot loaders or partitions on the c: drive. (I had a bad experience removing Linux from a dual boot hard drive and getting the boot loader and partitions back to normal) If you're really worried about messing up your c: (windows) drive, you can physically disconnect the cable from it, while you're installing Linux Mint. This way, the installer has no choice but to install linux to the only drive available (your d: drive). Change your boot order in BIOS to d: drive first and try it out! If you decide you want to keep Linux Mint, you can still make your system dual-boot by entering "sudo update-grub" in the Linux console. This command will update the boot loader on your d: drive and it will also find your windows hard drive and add that boot option to the grub menu. So now your computer boots to the d: drive first, and the grub menu gives you a choice of continuing to boot from Linux (d:) or booting windows (c:).

@PulsarTECH6 ай бұрын
Hi, it seems like you encountered a common issue during the installation process of Linux Mint. Removing the USB drive before completing the installation and restarting the system can sometimes cause the system to fail to boot properly. Here's what you can try to resolve the issue: Restart the Computer: If the screen is completely black, try restarting the computer manually by pressing and holding the power button until it shuts down, then turn it back on again. Check Boot Order: Access your computer's BIOS or UEFI settings and ensure that the primary boot device is set to your computer's internal hard drive or SSD, not the USB drive. This ensures that your computer attempts to boot from the internal storage rather than the USB drive. Boot into Linux Mint Live USB: If you're still having trouble booting into Linux Mint, you may need to boot from the Live USB again and attempt to reinstall or repair the installation. Reinstall Linux Mint: If all else fails, you may need to reinstall Linux Mint from scratch. Boot from the Live USB, start the installation process again, and ensure that you follow all the prompts and instructions carefully, including properly ejecting the USB drive before restarting the system. Hope it will help!

I have a 1TB hard drive which is partitioned to C (Windows partition) and D. Can I install linux mint without wiping the data from D? The thing is, I'm fine with erasing all data in C but I don't really have an extra hard drive to backup my 250gb data from D.
@PulsarTECH3 ай бұрын
Hi, yes, you can install Linux Mint on your computer without wiping the data from the D partition. During the installation process, when you're prompted to choose how to install Linux Mint, select the option for manual partitioning (sometimes called "Something else" or "Manual partitioning"). From there, you can choose the partition where you want to install Linux Mint (which would be your C partition), and you can specify that this partition should be formatted. This will erase the data on the C partition, but it won't affect the data on your D partition. Just be careful during the installation process to select the correct partition for installation and formatting (your C partition) and leave your D partition untouched.

I have watched several guides on installing Linux Mint for beginners and not one of them has gone through the steps of verifying the ISO after downloading it, as the Linux Mint site says to do. Are the mirrors trustworthy enough to skip this step? Is verifying the ISO something only the very paranoid need to do? I looked up the verification process and it seems complicated and pretty sketchy itself (dowloading an exe then running a bunch of shell commands).

Hi, that's right, it is quite complicated for beginners. Myself, I never do that because I think the main mirrors are trustworthy but I have demonstrated how to do it in one of my videos when installing Linux Pop OS kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z5aGd9OlybywlmQ.html.

@PulsarTECH3 ай бұрын
Hi , are you trying to create a dual-boot system with Win11? Have you installed Linux Mint on a different drive? The boot order in your computer's BIOS or UEFI settings may need to be adjusted to prioritize the Linux Mint installation over Windows. Reboot your computer: If you're currently in Windows, restart your computer. Access BIOS/UEFI settings: During the boot process, you'll need to access your computer's BIOS or UEFI settings. This is typically done by pressing a specific key (such as F2, F12, Del, Esc, or another key) repeatedly as your computer starts up. The specific key varies depending on your computer's manufacturer. Change boot order: Once you're in the BIOS or UEFI settings, look for an option related to "Boot Order," "Boot Sequence," or "Boot Priority." Set the option so that your computer boots from the hard drive or SSD where Linux Mint is installed first, before attempting to boot from any other devices. Hope this helps!

Hi, sometimes the default boot parameters may not work well with certain hardware. When you see the initial boot menu, try the "Compatibility Mode" option. This can sometimes bypass the issues causing the black screen. Some systems may need Secure Boot to be disabled or other UEFI settings adjusted:Restart your computer and enter the BIOS/UEFI settings (usually by pressing F2, F10, Del, or Esc during boot).Disable Secure Boot.Enable Legacy Boot (if available and necessary for your hardware).Save the changes and exit the BIOS/UEFI. Sometimes, using a different USB port or a different USB stick can resolve the issue, as some ports may have compatibility issues or some sticks may be faulty. Hope this will help!

All the best. Hope you will like it. Linux Mint is definitely the easiest to get used to unlike other Linux distros with more unusual user interface.

Hey I am currently confused at the Bios part I am in a Asrock motherboard and a gaming pc in general and it says us SanDisk and UEFI SanDisk which on do I choose?

Hi, for installing Linux Mint, it is generally recommended to use UEFI mode if your system supports it. UEFI mode offers several advantages, including better performance, faster boot times, and enhanced security features.

Do graphics drivers install automatically onto linux/different os? (Such as Nvidia or other graphics drivers)
@PulsarTECH3 ай бұрын
Hi, in many cases, especially with popular Linux distributions, basic graphics drivers are included in the operating system's kernel or as part of the default installation. These drivers often provide basic functionality for graphics cards, allowing you to use your computer's display at a basic level. However, for optimal performance, additional features, and support for the latest hardware, it's often recommended to install proprietary graphics drivers provided by the manufacturer, such as Nvidia or AMD. Manufacturers like Nvidia and AMD provide proprietary graphics drivers for their hardware. These drivers often offer better performance, support for advanced features (such as gaming, video editing, or GPU acceleration), and compatibility with the latest hardware. Hope this helps!

If Balena is failing for some reason, you can Rufus a try. It's also a free piece of software and it seems to work better for some people.

@PulsarTECH3 ай бұрын
Hi, Linux Mint is a popular Linux distribution known for its ease of use and user-friendly interface. Linux Mint's default desktop environment, Cinnamon, is designed to be intuitive and easy to use, especially for users transitioning from Windows. It provides a familiar layout with a taskbar, start menu, and system tray. There are many other benefits, you can find on their website.

What if i wanna use a CD?
@PulsarTECH4 ай бұрын
Hi, you can do it from a CD, but you need to have a program to create a Live Boot CD that will boot from under BIOS. Then the process will be similar. However, since USB flash drives are readily available and much easier to use, I don't see the point of using a CD.
