Oh I bet I can. I’ve managed to blackscreen it once already and when it rebooted, it showed up on the boot screen as plain Ubuntu instead of Mint. The main problem I have is it doesn’t connect to the internet anymore. I had malware on the windoze ssd that kept disconnecting my internet (my uncle must have given me a dodgy windows with a legit key) but it can’t spread onto Linux can it? They’re on separate ssds.
Is there an even more noob friendly distro that even I can’t mess up? I just want to be able to get it online again.
Just make sure your files are backed up and then go for it. You can also try a live system first. If it boots into that it’ll run on your machine. Or do a practice run with an old machine or in a VM.
Mate, I didn’t even install the Linux myself, I had to get my techie uncle to do it 😭😭😭 you think I know how to do any of the things you suggested? I was so proud of myself with my sudo! Apt! Upgrade!
My Linux doesn’t work and I really want to do a fresh install but I’m scared.
If it doesn’t work, you can’t break it.
