Well, I think I know what I will dive into next when my free time opens back up. First things first is rebuilding my homelab after drive failure. Thanks for the tips!

Interesting! I’ll have to check it out. I’m a little wary of immutable distros though. I do a fair amount of tinkering and random package installs. And I dont love flatpak.

The live USB would boot, but the install would fail. It was my only computer at the time, so I needed it up and working and couldn’t really troubleshoot. In fairness, ASUS is not known for it’s Linux support.

I love mint and I’m at least a little technical. Although I’m still mad I couldn’t get fedora working on my laptop.
