Thank you for your response, but I’ve already managed to install Mint, but thanks for your info, as during startup and shutdown I still see these errors popping up.

My boot order is fixed to default to Linux Mint on its own drive, Windows boot as a backup for photoshop and the couple of games that don’t work within Linux.

I’ll see if the errors will keep popping up after disconnecting the optical drive.

My pc does have one, but it’s unused for a while… Would disconnecting it prevent a bunch of these errors? Or can I ask for it to not check the CD drive? I keep seeing these error on occasion, even after installing Linux Mint and running it for a bit.

Same, I’ve had to surf along with The Neighbours to find something close by and stable…

Ah, I didn’t check the USB stick itself.

Just checked, the stick is 2.0, so that shouldn’t be the issue.

Don’t have another PC I can use to test and I’m quite a noob in anything that isn’t surface level Windows usage (I have messed with the registry a tiny bit, but purely following a guide) so VMs are close to magic for me.

Got recommended to check the USB ports (thanks to @Jumuta@sh.itjust.works ) and if that doesn’t work I’ll reflash using other tools than Balena. Will post an update once I’ve tried this.

Thanks for the help

That would be the Romans, sir. Maybe even people that preceded them, but they Romans perfected it.

We want to know how much you butchered it…

That sinkhole has been open for a while now, it’s just more and more people that are willingly jumping in and dragging others into it.

Yeah, the pre-ads (unstoppable) and the massively increased loading times of the basic Youtube page makes it impossible to successfully Rickroll people

Better yet, let them enjoy the full connectivity for a month. Once they’ve enjoyed all the awesome content and got used to it - defederate.
