Thanks, that was a very informative video. I'm about to take the leap into Linux - have thought of it over the last 25 years and even downoaded it once around 2005 or so. I'm tired of paying for Windows (98, Media Center edition, Win 7 and Win 10) and with end of life coming for Win 10 next year - my gov't pensions only go so far!! I built my pc in 2019 with a 500gb SSD and 5tb in drives, a Ryzen 2600 and AMD RX560 and 16 gb 3000mhz ram it's only used for Kodi, music, general browsing and keeping in touch with my kids and grandkids - so nothing too complicated most of my gaming is ps3 & ps4 I've got Steam but the only thing I've ever played on it was SimCity 4 LOL.

I'd appreciate it if you could help with this. I have been trying to install mint xfce 21.3 on a cheap hp pavilion with a single core amd Cpu and 4 gigs of Ram. No matter what I do, I can't get it to boot in regular mode from the USB, only in compatibility mode. After that, when I try to install, it does not detect my hdd. I've tried all the bios checks, and similar solutions but nothing helped. I got frustrated an made a Pop OS image and that instantly detected and installed properly. I even tried it again after that, just to make sure it wasn't something within Windows. Nothing. If you can help, I'll be grateful. But I understand that I might be stupid about this and asking like this. No problem if you can't help.

First time ever I have had trouble installing... Plug in the USB iso burned to it and it asks for the kernel first... Won't install.
