Hello, I messed up my pc really it stopped booting and I even tried doing something called make raid data or something on the setup menu and I think it deleted windows or something from my hard drives is there a way to fix it if you any?

[debeeriz]

first thing change polkit so you no longer need a password to update or install programs from synaptic or the software center, then change seahorse so you dont need a password for the keyring, if its only you using it change the menu to get rid of log out and switch user icons and sudo visudo so you dont need a password to use the terminal, it speeds up linux mint no end

[muffinmcpuffin]

I had alot of problems with my stock linux ubuntu. Hopefully linux mint will be better.
