I’m pretty new as well. Try looking at mounting your hard drives with /etc/fstab. You should try to mount them via UUID and put them in the /mnt folder. I’m using mint cinnamon your mileage might vary. https://wiki.debian.org/fstab

As for the integrated graphics, you might be able to disable them in BIOS.

As for the video drivers I had a lot of trouble as well and ended up having to uninstall a lot of drivers manually to get the right version to stick.

Turn it 90 degrees?

WhhaaahhhHH!!!

Ah I assume Ubuntu based since I just downloaded the latest from the mint website. Still learning about Linux so not 100% sure.

Cinnamon

Just setup Mint last night and have been troubleshooting how to get everything to work. So far I’m liking it. Last thing I setup was Lutris for gaming so that’s nice.
