I tried.

Deleting the reboot?

Dumb dyslexic frogposter.

The only non-meme just work distro I've found is Zorin OS. Download the core version. It's better than anything

Idk I installed linux mint and when I press restart, the logo loads for 10 mins, get a wall of text and nothing happens. I have to hold the powerbutton down everytime I want to close my computer. This is annoying. Chatgpt said its because im using a dumb HP laptop.

>>106502845
Type the error into a search engine.

>>106502845
what laptop do you use?

>>106502845
Are you using nvdia gpu? I had a similar problem in an old hp laptop. maybe the driver is broken. I'm using a thinkpad for over a year now and had zero issues so far.

Nvidiots deserve it. They are the vaccinated of the computer world.

Hp pavilion 17
>>106502916
No radeon amd and i5 8th gen

>>106502845
so the live-usb mode worked but after installing it it doesnt boot?
idk try installing something else (fedora, ubuntu...) or take a screenshot of the error/wall of text you get after boot

No everything works perfectly, I just have to press the power button after shutting it off. If I start it up, my computer runs it perfectly.
I posted this yesterday, it just shows this but doesn't actually shut off. I left it running the entire night.

this seems like your problem no? in his last post he says
>Regardless, it seems all is well now with just the BIOS update so thinking I'll leave well enough alone. As of late, the machine appears to Shut down, Suspend, hibernate, and restart just fine. That wasn't the case before the BIOS update.

so maybe you need to update your firmware/bios/uefi. go to the bios and check the bios version, then go to HPs page for your laptop model and checkif there's a new version. ive done this for my MSI desktop motherboard im sure its similar for a laptop they have a manual on how to do it.

Meh, I'm not familiar with WINE yet and HP only gives updates for windows 11.

>>106503435
you should be able to update bios regardless of operating system iirc you put it on a flash drive, put the flash drive in and hit the update option inside the bios.

here i found this on their website but you need to do this or go to the model page.

>>106503478
Apparently my BIOS is already up to date.
These problems came after I updated everything. When Linux was fresh installed without any updates, I could shut off and restart just fine.

>>106502747 (OP)
How do you fail at installing Linux Mint? The installer carries you the whole way through.

>>106502747 (OP)
Reinstall and make sure you partitioned it correctly. Since it's Mint there is an option to automatically do it. Also, could be your SSD is corrupted. I'd blame shitdows for that though.

>>106505532
Or you could stop being a fucking pussy and install Arch.

Had the exact same thing happen to me after I installed Arch for the lulz.

I just now realized while I was typing this that I was using "sudo apt-get update" instead of "sudo pacman -Syu" because I was so used to Linux Mint. I'm fucking retarded, somebody please just shoot me in the face.

Systemd strikes again

>>106505870
That wouldn't brick your install. You fucked something else up.

>>106505397
Didnt I say that everything works perfectly before i update everything?
>>106505532
That's what I did...

how shocking and unexpected

why havent you killed yourself yet loser?
do something useful for your mom and fertilize her compost pile
everyone wishes you were dead, especially your mom
how embarrassing it must be for her to have to explain to her friends all the time that her son is still a fat incel NEET loser eating all her food and taking up room stinking up her house being a smelly NEET incel that spends every waking minute of his incel life "owning loonix"
there is no bigger no-life loser on this entire shithole of a site than you, and that's saying a lot
just end your worthless life already, the world will be a better place without you
