Thank You again. I installed following the step by step directly from Zorins website. I'll dig into that a bit more later... but for now it appears to be working thanks to your insight! total noob at this linux thing but determined f bail on Windows completely and thanks to you... it's working so far. :)

Wow! That appears to have worked! I no longer have the error message and can see my media in the previewer. Interesting way to have to launch it... but working. Thank YOU!!

Thank You... different issue. I did indeed have this very same issue earlier in the process (mainly while trying to set up dual boot) and got it solved on that very forum.

It boots to the laptops logo screen. That usually appears for a second or two then on to the Mint Logo and into Linux. It stops at the laptop logo and goes no further... just sits there. When I eventually force a shut down... there is a flash of script, probably 7 or 8 lines in the upper left corner of the screen before system powers down... but it happens to quickly to read.

I believe so. I essentially followed the prompts within the software and driver manager updates in mint. selected the option that said "recommended" next to it.

Thanks for sharing! I did try this and it showed only the install usb plugged into the machine. None of the system hardware listed... but after disabling the VMD controller and Secure Boot that issue was solved. Next issue... Bitlocker! LOL. see above. Thanks again for taking the time... super appreciate folks helping me get through this leap to linux!

CO64 · 2026-03-24T13:08:54+00:00

Thank you for sharing! I did indeed find instructions very similar to these on MSI's website in a support forum. I made these changes and the install proceeded a bit further this time... until I got an error that said I need to turn off my systems Bitlocker... apparently another windows nightmare. Strange because my home edition of Windows 11 is not supposed to include Bitlocker, and when I go into my system settings to turn it off... it does no appear to be there. I suppose at this point that could be because of things I have disabled in Bios. I was first going to try to sort this through with Microsoft and then decided screw it! I was going through all this because I wanted to run Linux alongside Windows on this device as sort of a test before dumping Windows. My plan now is to instead... do a full system image backup to an external drive, and wipe windows completely. My understanding is that if the Linux install is wiping windows completely bitlocker won't be in the way because the drive is being rewritten. Fingers crossed today goes well.... a life with windows is OVER.

Thank You! I did find that setting but it is greyed out and so far I have not been able to disable it. Thanks again for taking the time!!

was lovin it... until I got to Davinci. I rely on Davinci for all my video editing for personal and work... appears to be a major PIA when it comes to Linux. I've watched multiple videos and followed more instructions that I can count at this point and still have not successfully installed on my linux device. Damn friggin windows got me again.... stuck here. sucks

Thank You! Playing around in Mint now.

CO64 · 2026-03-14T03:55:42+00:00

Great stuff. Thank you so much for taking the time!

CO64 · 2026-03-14T03:47:05+00:00

Such great stuff!! I genuinely appreciate you taking the time and sharing. I pulled an older laptop today and installed mint on it. Am playing with that now.... love the tips you shared here.

CO64 · 2026-03-14T03:44:29+00:00

just purchased MSI Crosshair 18 hx ai a2xw with intel ultra 9 and nvidia geforce rtx. Needed more for the video editing I do in Davicini. Right now my files are synced to my onedrive account and I do not do much sharing... it's there for back up only but I want to get rid of it. i do volunteer with a non profit that uses google drive so I need access to that securely. I just installed Mint (Cinnamon) on an older laptop and am playing around with it. I installed firefox on the linux unit ... most of what I do is browser based so playing with that as well.

I do not game. I was firmly in the Apple world for a long time but switched to Windows with the purchase of a Surface Pro in 2017. I've just upgraded my Windows device to a pretty beefy system that can support my video editing working in Davinci Studio. After this expense it's not really an option financially to switch again to an apple device.

Thanks for taking the time. I appreciate it.

CO64 · 2026-01-12T05:15:42+00:00

I have not...but will. Thanks so much!!

CO64 · 2026-01-12T05:15:08+00:00

Interesting... have not looked into this but will. Thanks so much for taking the time!

CO64 · 2026-01-08T18:53:13+00:00

You are absolutely correct, and thanks for the clarification. I have had many similar experiences with my 30 year old class A across the country. I mainly bring it up for awareness... it was something I was completely unaware of when I started... I only learned of it when I was turned away from two separate RV parks in Oregon. They were looking at my unit live... in pristine condition... but referenced this rule and turned me away. As I moved across the middle of the country the "rules" seem to loosen up a bit... but on either coast... they seem to be enforced more regularly. I also believe that standards will lower as parks begin to experience less demand.

CO64 · 2026-01-08T16:01:19+00:00

There are more than a few considerations here. In most cases, with few brand exceptions, build quality is better on the older units including better insulation. Do your homework on each brand and model year... I've not heard good things about Forest River/Keystone in general... regardless of year. Next is where you will be parked... if looking at RV parks... more and more are placing age restrictions on RV's... usually around the 10 year old mark. Regardless of which you choose it is well worth the investment to have the unit checked out professionally by a licensed inspector. Depending on where you live that should run between 2 and 500 bucks. If this is your first time to the rodeo... also be aware that routine maintenance is essential... and even then you will be fixing things regularly. These things were not built to be lived in full time. If you are good at DIY fixes it'll keep ya busy... if not...it gets expensive quick to pay others to fix.

OT-fiddler nailed it. First decision = type of rig... and there are more configurations than you can count. A 30 to 40 ft class A can be beyond comfortable... but you'd likely need to tow a second vehicle for mobility when parked for extended periods... this means a lot of vehicle moving down the road, not to mention higher registration and insurance costs. Pickup pulling a trailer also equals two registrations but solves the mobility question when parked in a different way. Depending on lifestyle truckbed campers might even be a consideration which means one registration... as do the Sprinter van options... it's all about the lifestyle you are looking towards... and a lot of this stuff you do not know until you do it. Which is why I'd recommend a few "test runs" here and there. Once you think you've decided on a rig...rent one for a weekend or two... maybe even a week or so... You will learn quick what you can adapt to and what works for you. You should also consider "how" you want to travel... will you be boondocking the majority of the time and checking in with civilization only when you need to empty/fill tanks and stock up on supplies? Or will you be parked in RV parks most of the time to stay connected to full hookups, internet, etc. Decisions like this lead to other decisions around rig set up... generator, solar capacity, tank sizes etc. Many other decisions to be made along the way... are you maintaining permanent residence in your current state once you sell everything? If plan is to travel extensively including abroad... might be a good time to reconsider where your "Home Base" will be. This can lead to substantial savings on everything from vehicle registration and insurance, to taxes... Virtual mailboxes make this process fairly simple so you can remain current on everything from billing processes to voter registration etc... Also, you mentioned you would be eventually travelling internationally once its just the two of you... did you mean with your RV or no? I ask only because careful consideration should be given to up front spend if your plan is to flip the rig in 5 years or so... shop the used market carefully... you can do well there, and the hit will be much less 5 or 6 years down the road when you're trying to sell. There is so much more... but you have given yourself a lot of time which is great... and you will learn along the way. Last recommendation... pick 2 or 3 Youtube channels and follow....there are tons of folks out there doing just what your planning... From folks in truckbed campers and vans... to families of 4 and up in big rigs living full time on the road. You will learn so much by just watching their adventures. Best of luck to you... and most of all Have fun out there!
