Hello,
I will need help installing Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE 2).
So, my problem is that when I make a bootable key of LMDE, with the software Rufus and then, I start on this key, the office of Mint is displayed, but without graphic acceleration ... And it's the same once the OS is installed ...
So I do not know if my PC is not new enough, because it's still ... Something good: A Lenovo 520S, with a correct graphics chipset, or if it's just LMDE that is too obsolete compared to my drivers ...
Because I have LMDE, but it's still more practical when the aesthetics of the OS is there too (Animations windows etc.)
So if anyone has a solution to that, I'm a taker
Thank you !

You'll have to find the correct Drivers for your device here's a wiki on how

Also LMDE2 is based on a older version of Debian and you probably won't see extra devices becoming supported seeing as software is already starting to become obsolete. However you can download a copy of Debian Jessie and install Cinnamon to get a idea of what kind of support you will have in LMDE3

To begin with, just what hardware do you have? Try
How to install graphics drivers depends largely on what hardware you have. Hint: the Linux Mint main edition has a built-in driver manager and is generally better suited for beginners. And it doesn't cost a cent more.

How can you install graphics drivers in LMDE when, at its default boot-time resolution of 640x480, you can't even get to the OK and Next buttons in an installer because the windows are so huge the buttons are off-screen? That issue made me toss LMDE on the repository junkpile.

Hold down the Alt button and click anywhere in the Window to move it.jaymot wrote: ⤴Wed May 30, 2018 8:37 pm How can you install graphics drivers in LMDE when, at its default boot-time resolution of 640x480, you can't even get to the OK and Next buttons in an installer because the windows are so huge the buttons are off-screen?
