missing required info

[latent oyster]

Correct

[crimson mauve]

look over ur BIOS settings, turn off Secure Boot, Fast Boot, RST, if any such things found.

which YT vid or method u make the live medium with?

[latent oyster]

I followed this video. I used Rufus to create a usb Bootable of Mint.

When I used the usb, it only worked in Compatibility Mode.

After installing Mint, I've only been able to log on of I went to recovery mode.

When I boot, it just stays stuck on mobo splash screen, despite originally being able to boot in Compatibility mode

@crimson mauve

[crimson mauve]

compat mode is an early warning sign of trouble

[latent oyster]

My windows works fine

[crimson mauve]

same machine?

[latent oyster]

Yes

[crimson mauve]

2 internal disks?

[latent oyster]

I have 3 ssds

[crimson mauve]

linux on its very own?

[latent oyster]

There's nothing else on the drive I believe

[crimson mauve]

release date of the motherboard/pc?

[latent oyster]

My mobo is a Z690 Aorus Ultra

It's not old st all

[crimson mauve]

if 20 months or newer, install the Mint cinnamon edge iso for better experience

and turn off Fast Startup in Windows if u havent

what video

nvm

just use ventoy

[latent oyster]

Omg I figured it out. I found a form with the solution on a linux website.

I was using a 5.0 kernel.

I updated it to the current 6.0 kernel and it all works now

your system is too new for mint 21

[latent oyster]

Oh. I had no idea. That's weird.
