This is a joke right? Literally all you gotta do is boot into the USB and follow the instructions of the installer. Never thought I’d see Jonathan Blow struggling to use Linux Mint of all things.

Lol man wasn’t trying to say you messed up, I just honestly thought you were joking because what you described is nothing at all like what I’ve experienced in the past 10 years (at least). Maybe your hardware is just really uncommon/weird and unsupported? Idk about Intel NUCs

I also have exactly this experience every time I try to install Linux. And by "experience", I mean that it is super janky, doesn't end up working, and then everyone says "it works fine for me!" I suspect it "works fine for them" in the same way the Apple trackpad does.

Ubuntu is supposed to be the most user friendly by far. It was my 1st and only linux install a long time ago and it _mostly_ worked! You probably have tried it, but if not, give that one a go since its actually going for that user-friendly, “even your grandma could do it” claim

If someone can’t install Mint, they’re probably not going to be able to install Ubuntu. Mint is based on Ubuntu IIRC, so hardware incompatibilities are likely inherited.

100% false. I have had several machines that install by default with Ubuntu, and which can't even start the installer with Mint. You can still do a bunch of manual work to Mint installed, but it is definitely not as compatible.
