Also potentially stupid fix: could it be the USB stick I'm using? I'm using a PNY 64 GB USB 3.2 Type C, do you think a regular Type A would be better?

I'm not sure if you'll see this at this point but I'm running into a problem installing Mint and I was hoping you could offer some ideas.

When I get to the "Installation type" screen, I don't have any options for how to partition. Anything I click on this screen crashes the installer. I've disabled secure boot but I can't find any advice online for this specific problem for my laptop. Do you have any ideas?

Thanks for your input! Fedora, Mint, and Ubuntu seem to be the most commonly recommended

I was hoping someone could give a recommendation for a noob friendly distro that works well on my laptop, an HP Envy x360 Convertible 15m-es0xxx, i7 16 GB RAM. Thanks for your help and I apologize if these questions aren't allowed here

"I don't like Nazis" "We should get 300 people to give the Nazi salute outside a courthouse". Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up. I say this with all the sincerity in my heart, you are a moron and you are part of the problem. You are contributing to the rise of alt-right and fascist leaders around the world. There is zero leeway in this argument, everything Nazi related is bad and none of it should be tolerated.

I desperately want to believe that about the media, but Tim Miller and the folks at Pod Save America (whom I trust to be brutally honest) are also constantly talking about how close the race is. I'm so fucking depressed about this shit. We are this close to having a literal fascist as President.

This fucking son of a bitch had to ask John Kelly who the good guys were in WWI.

FUCK.

I'm in Arizona and was (still am, because absolutely fuck Kari Lake) planning on voting for Ruben. Hell, I was as excited to vote for Ruben as I am to vote for Kamala.

This is extremely disappointing. They call it a shift to appeal to moderates and independents, but that just makes me question how fucked our politics are if someone like Ruben Gallego isn't already considered a moderate. Kamala is a moderate, Walz is a moderate, our entire Democratic party is moderate.

I'm so tired of bowing to right-wing fuckwits. I'm so tired of ceding ground at every damn opportunity. Human rights are not radical. Police reform is not radical. Workers' rights are not radical. Do fucking better, Devil Dog.
