when I installed mint, I just used etcher which took a while but didn't have any real problems for me. got it from the install guide docs > https://etcher.balena.io/

if you use multiple isos to install different stuff, ventoy is really convenient ! you install it onto a flash drive and then all you need to do is drag and drop isos, then you just select the one to boot into from a menu! (it actually is rly convenient even if you dont use multiple oses bc you can put diagnostic stuff on there like memtest as well)

thanks to you both but @draggian i already used balena. it's just that my iso file got corrupted while downloading

if it got corrupted, try downloading it from a different mirror, then check the SHA-256 hash. if it corrupts again, the hash will corrupt too. (you can check hashes manually with 7-Zip if you don't want to download more software)

I second the suggestion of checking the hash, especially when using Mint. It is a popular distro, so hacked copies have been passed around before. https://www.zdnet.com/article/hacker-hundreds-were-tricked-into-installing-linux-mint-backdoor/

you could install on mint to demo/save the headache of full install. iirc you can change your DE from the login screen

@barndoors thanks!! i've heard that too!! that's why i said might because i'm not sure which i'm gonna choose yet

you can test out kubuntu in a virtual machine with VirtualBox. Can give u a chance to try out the desktop environment without wiping ur PC again :)

when it comes to manga, i also remember liking dorohedoro, golden kamuy, & vagabond a lot. but warning for vagabond: there's some dark stuff in it and you might have to look up some content warnings

Rose of Versailles (with recommendation to be patient and at least try get past the first 10 episodes, it's a slow burn), Oniisama e is by the same author and I would recommend it too. Land of the Lustrous is good

If you want a really good movie to watch I am a huge fan of Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust, but as for shows I gotta say Inuyasha and Yu Yu Hakusho are classics for a reason. Honestly same with OG Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z (I'd look up a filler list tho, lol). Hunter x Hunter (1999) is really beautiful as well ^-^

If you think you might need any Windows programs, dual boot. Wine and virtual machines aren't really reliable. None of the things I wanted ran in WINE, hence ww

...hence why I'm going to have two separate computers, one for personal on Mint and one for work on Windows. hit enter too soon and you can't edit comments
