Hello I am new to the linux jungle
I was using Mint 21 and I decided to try LMDE and I went to go try to boot up to install it and I get a black screen on my main monitor 4K Samsung G7A monitor, I also tried to install via OEM and when it loads the desktop I get black screen ? It works normally for the regular version of Mint

To solve this problem I had to change from cinnamon to MATE.
I use now LMDE6 and there are no problems to date.
I am a newby, may be this info is not a solution.
But the profis here need a system info, can you get one for the regular working version of Mint?

Welcome to the forum, Snipes89.
Because it works "normally" for Mint 21, please provide system information using Mint 21. Perhaps there is something in your hardware which might be reacting differently to the two different versions.
Please open the System Reports app and click the System Information tab on the left. Your computer's information should come up in the right pane. Then click the Copy button in the lower right and paste the results into a reply window here so we can see how Linux Mint views your hardware.

Re: LMDE Black screen booting live cd or desktop gui
I normally have only one monitor physically connected when I boot from a live volume, because I experienced simular problems with that in the past.I get a black screen on my main monitor 4K Samsung G7A monitor,
If you think the issue is solved, edit your original post and add the word solved to the title.
