From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

look up rufus or ventoy and start from there
ATM ventoy is on the USB. Do I download the minto to a random folder to check first of do I verify it in ventoy? Also which mirrors are good?
just do what ventoy tells you
you can download mint as a torrent, otherwise pick a mirror that is geographically close
K, I'm gonna terminate my download and torenet it
And the benefit of Ventoy is that it's literally drag and drop the ISO once you setup Ventoy for the first time.
@sleepybisexual @skillissuer sounds brutal
crdownload is from Chrome, not from any torrent clients
Form chromium, I used brave, only OK browser on my hell pc now USB can't eject even tho I closed all apps and ended tasks from task manager
just reboot anyway, the worst that can happen is having to reflash it
Toreenting from official site. Is the torrent meant to be 3 GB rather than 2.8gb?
that's how it looks for me in transmission (linux mint 21.2 cinnamon)
