@james888 Very nice! I looked back at the coffee because it was so pretty
Well, last night I picked the perfect time to finally choose mess with Linux, the moment TPU goes out! Needless to say, I could have used some serious help last night
After several hours, I was able to install MInt and get it up and running, and then I had to figure out how to do anything/everything. All I managed to do was to download and install BOINC, download and install AMD video driver, and (I think) set it to not lock the pc when nothing happens for a while. It seems to be running solid having made it through the night.
I've really learned that Linux is very big on the command line, and I haven't messed with that at all yet. I feel so lost inside their OS, so so lost, like a puppy who lost his way.
edit: I did get some help from
@Norton and
@Tallencor before and during, so thanks guys!
Unfortunately, that rig was crunching for Kreij, but as I didn't have access to TPU when installing last night, I had to set it up under my own name. Good for me personally... but bad for Kreij. I think I'll let it run for a few days, maybe through te challenge, and then I'll throw it back under Kreij.
TL;DR Installed Mint and I have millions of questions, so please be good enough to kindly help me find my way as time goes on
