Use Balena Etcher to “burn” (the correct term is flash) the iso on the usb

Perhaps this page in Mint documentation may help …readthedocs.io/…/burn.html#how-to-make-a-bootabl…

The following video is more advanced but covers Ventoy which lets you have a bootable disk that you can copy ISO files onto. You will then have an USB with multiple distributions that you can pick and choose between at boot time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=10L8aCY3VBs

Thanks, mint is on stick just when I booted ventroy in normal mode I got a kernel panic instantly

look up rufus or ventoy and start from there

sleepybisexual, 9 months ago

ATM ventoy is on the USB. Do I download the minto to a random folder to check first of do I verify it in ventoy? Also which mirrors are good?

skillissuer, 9 months ago

just do what ventoy tells you

you can download mint as a torrent, otherwise pick a mirror that is geographically close

crdownload is from Chrome, not from any torrent clients

sleepybisexual, 9 months ago

Form chromium, I used brave, only OK browser on my hell pc now USB can’t eject even tho I closed all apps and ended tasks from task manager

chayleaf, 9 months ago

just reboot anyway, the worst that can happen is having to reflash it

And the benefit of Ventoy is that it’s literally drag and drop the ISO once you setup Ventoy for the first time.

Toreenting from official site. Is the torrent meant to be 3 GB rather than 2.8gb?

skillissuer, 9 months ago

that’s how it looks for me in transmission (linux mint 21.2 cinnamon)

Plenty of tutorials out there, you can have a google for one that you like. It’s pretty simple though, just download a .iso of the distro you want to try, and then flash it to a thumb drive using, I’d suggest, Rufus. Balena Etcher is another good option.

I’d suggest checking out the official installation instructions linked at the top of the mint homepage. They’re pretty good.

You need a software like rufus or etcher for windows. Run the software as admin, select your drive (be careful to select the right one. It will be wiped in the process), select you iso file of linux mint and confirm. The software will create a bootable usb drive. Plug it into you pc and reboot. Now the process ist depending on your computer. Some will boot right into the live usb others will boot back into your normal hard drive. If later one is the case, you need to enter your boot menu via one of the function keys. Which one depends on your mainboard.

If you still have questions, feel free to ask. And have fun with Linux :D
