  • Yes, I have done a few things already, including memtest. I’ll copy from the forum:

    The things I have tried:

    • Updating my BIOS.
    • The ISO I downloaded has been md5 checked, all fine. I have also tried 2 other ISO files from 2 other mirrors - same.
    • Three (3) USB drives to install Mint, ranging from 8 GB to 24GB.
    • Installing with or without multimedia codecs.
    • Turning on secure boot before install (I was desperate, found a forum post with a similar error message, later I found out that it was for a different reason).
    • Turning off secure boot before install (I found a different forum post where the exact opposite was recommended - later I found out that it was for a different reason).
    • Installing in compatibility mode.
    • Offering a sacrifice to Xebeth’Qlu, tormentor of souls.
    • Running gparted before install, deleting the previously half-installed partition, formatting it myself to ext4, then running the installer.
    • Splitting the aforementioned partition into a 16GB swap partition (I have 16GB RAM) and leaving the rest of it as ext4 (mounted at “/”).
    • Running chkdsk -f on the SSD containing the MBR+Win10, then rebooting the PC twice, according to one of the error messages in my post below (then trying to install again).

  • That was the reason I decided to install Mint Cinnamon.

    It’s been impossible to install for a week now. And I’m not even 100% IT illiterate. After ~3 days of struggling, I decided to do the walk of shame and post on the Mint forum, admitting my failure. It’s been unsolved for about a week now. >100 fails and errors, crashes, freezes.

    I can’t even imagine where I would (not) be had I chosen Kali or Arch.








  • There are applications that still don’t have a proper Linux port, or any at all. Or maybe the ones that exist are cumbersome to use. I really hate that people downvote you for pointing this out. If you were wrong, Linux would have a much larger share already.

    I understand that some people have alternatives for everything they use; I’m happy for them, and I wish to be them. But assuming that if I can do everything I want on Linux in the same quality/convenience/whatever, then others must, as well…


  • Which OS has more executable files written for it

    Windows, of course, that’s out of the question. And yes, the problem wouldn’t be as annoying if proper corporate solutions were developed for Linux, as well - which is an investment, and they look at the proportions between the two, and choose the one with the larger user base. Which sucks as well, because the Linux user base is small exactly for the above reason (among others).

    Again, I’m not debating the whole issue at all - I just didn’t find the initial comparison fair, that’s all.

    While it does feel like that from a Windows user’s perspective, you’re comparing running Windows executables on Windows with running Windows executables on Linux - no wonder it’s not as simple on Linux. Do you know what else is not that simple? Running Linux executables on Windows. In order to do that, you have to…
