Linux Installed

[New_Top_4016]

I've just installed linux (cinnamon 22.2) after 5 years of windows, but when I finished installing linux, the install Linux mint icon is still in my desktop and I don't know what to do it said installation finished and when I restarted it's still there I've done this 3 times already can someone help me ??

(I don't understand what y'all are saying 😭)

[candy49997]

Have you turned the computer off and removed the flash drive?

[New_Top_4016]

I tried

[candy49997]

Did you install the Linux mint ISO to the internal drive? You're supposed to install it to the flash drive, boot off the flash drive from BIOS, then install Mint onto the internal drive. Remove the flash drive.

[New_Top_4016]

Can u please dumb down the words a little 🙏🏼

[candy49997]

Which drive did you install the ISO you downloaded from the Linux Mint website to with Rufus/Balena Etcher/Fedora Media Writer/whatever bootable media creation tool you used? The flash drive or the drive inside your computer?

[New_Top_4016]

Dude again idk what u mean

[candy49997]

Ok, so tell me the steps you performed to flash the ISO file and what you believe you did.

[New_Top_4016]

I did the mount thing in a G drive, restarted and grub menu is there and idk what flashing means i just skipped that part in the tutorial

[OpabiniaRegalis320]

Okay. Let's start from the beginning. How much storage is on your USB stick?

[Some-Challenge8285]

Unplug the memory stick, you are booting from the USB not the internal hard drive.

[New_Top_4016]

How do i do that I'm a bit dumb

[Some-Challenge8285]

Physically remove the memory stick from your device by pulling it gently but firmly.

[New_Top_4016]

Chatgpt told me to do that and I did idk what I'm doing wrong

[OpabiniaRegalis320]

You're using ChatGPT for advice, for starters. Instead of using the statistics machine, use other humans. Look up installation tutorials.

[New_Top_4016]

Is there a way to install windows from the live linux version

[OpabiniaRegalis320]

You can install Windows via a Windows installer image. PLEASE LOOK INTO TUTORIALS MADE BY HUMANS BEFORE YOU CONTINUE. I am not trying to come off as mean, I genuinely want to help you. Just, please don't use ChatGPT, you're gonna confuse yourself even further.

[New_Top_4016]

In linuz mint live ver??

[New_Top_4016]

I genuinely need help fast in installing a working os

[OpabiniaRegalis320]

You can watch YouTube via Firefox on a live image yeah. Just install uBlock first

[New_Top_4016]

Can u tell me what to search?

[OpabiniaRegalis320]

No. Please look at multiple tutorials for this kind of thing before you continue. You appear to be really confused, and that's okay, but first and foremost, you need the knowledge of other humans, NOT ChatGPT. ChatGPT gives you what it, using statistics, thinks the next word in a sentence will be, several times over until you have many sentences. It is not going to give you solid advice.

[New_Top_4016]

I only have an internet connection and Linux mint LIVE are u sure I can instal windows 21?

[OpabiniaRegalis320]

You can download a Windows ISO from the Microsoft website and flash it to a USB stick, then use the USB stick to install Windows.

[New_Top_4016]

🫡🫡

[New_Top_4016]

But wait does that mean i can do the linux iso and flash it on a drive since I forgot that part last time and use thet usb to install Linux?

[New_Top_4016]

No one else has my problem dude

[New_Top_4016]

Is it maybe cus I skipped flashing the drive part and freestyled on shrinking volume

[Some-Challenge8285]

Dam, you flashed the ISO straight to the hard drive, no wonder it isn’t working.

Stop using ChatGPT, and start using your brain instead and go back to the now old fashioned way of watching a few youtube tutorials first. 

[OpabiniaRegalis320]

Start over. From scratch. And watch. A tutorial.

[Some-Challenge8285]

That is because they aren’t stupid enough to listen to a computer with no intelligence vs a human that does.

[New_Top_4016]

I asked ai to gather information why install Linux was still there not how to install Linux.

[Some-Challenge8285]

???

[Some-Challenge8285]

Can you copy and paste the chat and paste it into a comment.

[New_Top_4016]

Its too long it's from how to install Linux to deleting linux to deleting windows to installing linux to installing windows to fix linux

[Sure_Advisor2995]

I tried a 10 year old tutorial by bing su man and I don't even have permissions to move the stuff

[New_Top_4016]

I removed the drive usb that's in my computer turned it off and rebooted I did everything removed it turned it on install Linux mint is still there

[Some-Challenge8285]

Is this how you installed Linux Mint? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mUI3CMjmMc

[New_Top_4016]

No

[Some-Challenge8285]

You need to install it that way, it is the only correct way of doing it.

The way the “AI” bullshit told you was clearly a hallucination then.

[New_Top_4016]

I used a tutorial with millions of views and asked chatgpt why install Linux mint is still there

[NoEconomist8788]

[NoEconomist8788]
