  • Imma just update: I have given up and wiped the drive to use it as a game drive for windows again. Each turn just gave hours of headache and I’m just done trying.

    Installing Mint took over 3 hours of searching obscure errors with solutions that were way too technical. In the end having gone from 5pm to 11pm just to get Mint dual booting. Got it installed and got teamspeak and stuff installed, after a bit too long having to find out but that’s fine. Spent 4 hours trying to get steam games to run, not a single working boot and couldn’t find anything online.

    I might try again once I get my new AMD based game pc whenever I have budget for it. But for now, nah this took too long and took way too much effort. I just started a new work project which has already been exhausting and I just plain don’t have the energy to bother with this. Its not plug and play like people like to say online.














  • Its not “just” setting it up but getting all software I need, installing the games again, getting my whole spiel in the browser working correctly again, figuring out how to set up and use dual booting.

    The reason I want to do it on a new pc is cause I’ll still have my old one to use until I find the new one set up enough to replace it, so if I can’t figure it out in a day I can still have some relaxation time. I can sell the old one after.


  • Because I just plain don’t have the time right now. I’m busy with buying an apartment and getting all of that set up while also starting a new project at work. When I have time to relax I want to relax and not have to setup an entire new PC.

    I want to get the new pc after the moving is done as long as I have budget left, so it would come at the same time as when I would be interested in putting the effort in to setting up dual booting.

    I’ve tried using Linux in Virtualbox on windows and use that for anything but gaming but its just plain annoying working like that certainly with multiple monitors.
