    Just a quick update. I am able to add the individual desktop environments on Antergos that didn't work previously. They still don't work if I select one for the initial installation...hmm.

    Yea definitely interested. I wanted to try deepin but sadly that and cinnamon don't work on my machine for some reason. I've been too busy playing around with antergos kde lately to do anymore digging around about this issue. I think I found a new obsession...bye bye windows.

    Thanks for the links I appreciate it. I did find a different distro I'm liking so far. Something called Antergos, has a bunch of desktops you can choose from upon installation. I'm thinking my issue is something to do with the desktops that won't run on my system for some reason. I initially...

    No, my issue is that I can't even boot from the live installation media. Mint cinnamon and something called Deepin are the only two so far giving me problems booting from the live usb. I got mint 19 xfce to install today with no issues and runs decent. If someone could help me out I'm looking to...

    I got KM Linux to boot from the live usb. I like it the best so far for my needs and desktop styling. I'll try mint mate again and let you know. I'm really thinking it has something to do with the cinnamon desktop...

    I downgraded the bios, I'm pretty sure it's unrelated because I got Xubuntu to install no problem, still a no go on mint cinnamon. I'm going to try mate again and see what happens. I'm not dead set on running mint cinnamon, at this point I'm just curious what the issue is.

    Yep I flashed the bios. I do believe secure and fast boot are off but I haven't noticed any settings for legacy. I'll poke around in the bios and get back to you. Thanks for all the help so far, I appreciate it.

    No it is not installed. I'm trying to boot the live usb. I can't get past the menu, it keeps restarting. I have windows on a separate ssd. I went as far as wiping the drive I was using for linux and resetting the uefi. I also removed the ssd from the computer that has windows 10 on it. I tried...

    I used the MD5 and SHA checksum utility to verify that you had posted in another thread. I'm getting to the 10 second boot countdown screen but it is not installed. If I let it self boot I get the black screen with a blinking cursor. If I press a key to run compatibility mode or edit the boot...

    Yes, both mint 19 and 18.3. I posted in the mint section of the forum that's why I didn't think to specify. I apologize about the confusion. It doesn't help that I'm new to linux, I was starting to get confused myself lol.

    I tried both cinnamon 19 and 18.3. I forgot to mention that it does the same thing in compatibility mode. It will run the loading sequence and the computer restarts itself.

    New install help

    I'm new to linux but I've played around with a few distros. I'm wanting to try cinnamon but I keep getting a black screen with a blinking cursor when trying to load from the grub menu. From my searches it seems to be a graphics issue. So far I've verified the .iso, did a memory test and also...
