Hello and thank you Linux Mint - you saved me

Post by gnrlmayhem »

I had built myself a new gaming/media server. Still needed a desktop to access steam and some multimedia tools. Previous user of Ubunutu/Xubuntu & Zorin but could not get any of them to install. Would get to the installer, pick anything then darkness, and nothing more. Tried different graphics card, using an nvidia but nothing. I had use Mint in the past and remembered it so downloaded it, setup my usb stick thining probably same result but success!!!! It worked!!! Loaded and installed. I was at my wits ends. And the nvidia drivers worked no issues.

So, thank you linux mint, you saved me from having to go back to Windows. :lol:
