Even though the file I downloaded from Mint is an .iso?Click yes, and when it asks 'ISO or DD', pick DD.
Not an expert here, it's just what I've been using lately.
So far it seems everything works.
Watching youtube with sound and video.
Is there a system checker where it can see if something needs a driver or if there is a better driver.
Pretty sweet.
I'm going to need a new battery for this lappy.
OK
Heading out to take the boy to see Venom.
When I get back I am wiping out this hdd and installing Mint. I'm guessing that Icon on the desktop is what I click on.
Does this already have a utility that will low level format the drive or do i need to run Parted Magic and do a secure erase?
So am I being too anal in wanting the hdd to be like a new one?

I have found there to be two camps in Linux, one CentOS/fedora, one debian/Ubuntu. People from one camp don't typically like the other distro camp, but imo they are as good as each other, just do things differently.
Mint is in the second camp.
I like Ubuntu because apt (blah) is second nature to me, as is the folder structure, where it would be more difficult for me to adapt to the rpm/yum etc of fedora/CentOS/suse world. Not that I couldn't, just a comfort thing.
There is a third camp, the arch camp, but that is not my cup of tea at all
So.
I have sound but it is thin and the volume is lacking.
This lappy has altec lansing speakers dolby blah blah blah....
It's definitely not driving them. I guess no way in hell there is going to be a way to get that working.
OK. Found a way to increase amplification. You can actually go to 150%. Still thin but louder now.
Haha.
That was a test right?
So I had to find the right "package" (some non-intuitive nomenclature I will say) for Mint.
What I found was text commands. Nothing to download or anything like that. So... I copy and pasted that shit in the terminal and voila... no wait... it needs a sudo password... wtf...
Well, after I figured out how to get around that (i literally typed sudo password, and then my password into the terminal command line and voila... no wait... then it sits there with sudo password and a blinking cursor that doesnt move when you type... so I just entered my password hit enter, copypasta the "package" again and voila. I got the icon in my menu.
Then I had to figure out how to get the thing launched and configured where it could effect the sound but by golly, I did it.
I turned on the base boost, crystallizer and loudness and it definitely helped a lot.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mikhailnov/pulseeffects -y
sudo apt update
sudo apt install pulseeffects pulseaudio --install-recommends
Thanks man.
I appreciate all of the help.
I got past that sudo password by accident but now that makes perfect sense why it was asking. I'm going to play around with it some more so I can get the order of when it wants things to happen.
I'm guessing I should have done the sudo password first and then copy and paste the command. Bah. I can't remember exactly how it went down. I think if I had just entered my password.... the non-moving blinking cursor had me stumped for a minute and i hit enter a few times lol.. It's not going to execute gibberish so I wasn't scared.
Anyhow. Is it just me or do things look different on the web. I'm going to all of the places I usually go, setting up my bookmarks and whatnot and everything just looks... better. Placebo with new toy?? Hard to explain. Like the format is slightly different.
