Super helpful video, got me all the way through the process. Thank you so much! For those watching in the future who are trying to use an external hard drive to install, when in Rufus, you might have to press Alt+F in the program for it to recognize your external drive. Took me a while researching to find this, apparently the developers wanted to not recognize large external drives. Hopefully this saves someone some time

Just make extra sure you don’t have any important information on it, Rufus WILL overwrite everything on the drive

Thank you so much for this video! I was able to partition my laptop hard drive and install Mint. Struggled a bit to get wifi running but managed that, too. Windows 11 had slowed my laptop to a snail's pace, and now it just zips along running Mint. I still have to tweak it so I can mount the portion of the drive that holds my Windows-based data, but overall I'm really happy with how this worked.

Finally! A straightforward, sufficiently detailed video thankfully devoid of gratuitous blah blah blah thatcovers ALL (imho) of the most essential decision points and strategies WITH simple explanations as to why and wherefore including excellent and helpful responses to the questions and comments. Thank you. Just curious why you didn't put the Linux bootloader in the newly created partition thereby protecting potential issues from future Windows updates as I have seen on a couple of other presentations. Excellent work, thanks

Very helpful video, one note I would make is, 20 gigs for a root partition is very small and you'll likely run out. It should be at least 50 gigs in my opinion.

After finished installation and rebooted, GNO GRUB doesn't appear to me, it goes directly to Windows 10, any ideas?

@mutalechanda2388 7 ай бұрын

Change the boot order from your bios. Put the Linux entry above the windows entry.

Thanks for the tutorial, first time I've ever tried to follow one I managed to download mint okay but I've done something wrong along the way, it's saying that I have zero bytes available in the root, how do I rectify this, thanks!

I just wanted to let you know that you have not selected the GPT partition scheme while making the pen driver bootable at 4:28.

@demonkillerr Жыл бұрын

Well, the partition of the pen drive doesn't matter. You can partition the USB as MBR

@vimalpatel31 Жыл бұрын

@@demonkillerr But I did it on Windows 10 while I was installing 2nd Time windows 10 for GPT using Rufus by selecting GPT - UEFI it worked from MBR to GPT partition style

@demonkillerr Жыл бұрын

@@vimalpatel31 it works, because you can use MBR and GPT both with uefi (although it is not recommended to do MBR on UEFI systems).. on the pen drive however, MBR or GPT doesn't make a difference. Both will result in bootable USB

I installed linuxmint 21.3 edge ISO since the classic one cannot install on Asus Rog Strix g16. However, I have found no audio issue and many people have complained about this issue. Have anyone encounter this problem and solve it?

Seems like you installing system on actual hardware and grub menu boots up in wrong resolution (640x480 or something like that). Can you check one thing: disable csm support and try to boot grub

Is 20GB enough for the root? Because most programs seem to install themselves into /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin.

@paulwarner5395 9 ай бұрын

Thanx for the video. All worked well until Mint did the system updates and then trashed my video so I suspect that there was a video driver update somewhere . Did it a second time with the same results. Oh well this laptop may have to stay on Windows .. It did run way faster than Windows 11 though..

It didn't work. It deleted my windows. Had to reinstall windows. Where the problem could be?

I dont think it deleted windows but rather messed up the windows boot loader

What if instead of one HD, they have at least two HDs?

@demonkillerr Жыл бұрын

You can install Linux Mint in the 2nd HDD. Create space in disk 2. And in the mint installer select /dev/sda2 or /dev/nvmeX2 (if you hve m.2 ssd) Make the root, home and swap partitions on the 2nd disk.
