Okay. Here's what's happening at the moment.

I wanted to switch back to using Mint because I keep getting these quick crashes on Lubuntu. When I go to live USB it, I don't get the notification that says "network connections available" and I had to go set it up with all these different things that I don't know apart from the name and the password. So now I go to live USB Zorin Lite. Same issue there.

Now I'm currently flashing Lubuntu on an USB once again to check if everything works before I go and try to live USB Pop OS and Debian. I had Lubuntu flashed on a different USB before but it just gave me an error when trying to live USB it (which is a first).

As things are standing at the moment, I'm gonna see if Lubuntu's live mode works once again before I go and demo Pop and Debian.

I swear getting a Linux distro was never this complicated before. And this is the same laptop I got last month, not the crappy HP Stream 11.

imagine i just say screw it and decide to flash raspbian lmao
