@kuroi one thing i'm really happy with is that my computer boots faster. but idk if that's because it's so lightweight or because it's less cluttered or both (probably both)

probably both xD i switched to mint back then because my laptop was SO slow with windows, i added mint as a dual boot and i was so surprised by how fast it worked, felt like i had a new computer xD

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/

@badgraph1cs @letslearn thanks. i already have software installed for that bc someone told me the same thing
i actually just change the file format on my own when saving the image; select from the file type dropdown “all file types” and add “.jpg” or “.png” or “.gif” to the end of the file name ☺️
@kkbkkb thanks for the advice
I've found that opening Discord images in a new tab returns them to their native file format. I also have a browser extension that converts WEBPs which I use if that doesn't work.
(I do use Discord for web, though. I'm not sure if either of those would work for the desktop app.)
