Linux Installation Issues
-
So last night I managed to get OpenSuse installed but it was very rough and basically nothing worked. It only worked live, but not on an install.
Got Ubuntu 16.04.1 running live late last night and it ran great. Really great. Did an install and that seemed to go well, but it could not boot afterwards. So tackling that now.

Posting from my Ubuntu 16.04.1 laptop!

So far, it is SWEET.

What ended up being the issue?

OS. Switched to Ubuntu 16.04.1 did the trick. Mint had no hope at all. OpenSuse got most of the way there, but lacked driver support.
-
That sucks, had that happen with a mint install as well. It would install but the provided wireless driver had some weird bugs so wireless wouldn't work.

This was nowhere close. Mint couldn't even remotely try to boot. Ubuntu.... just worked. All it needed was...
nouveau.modeset=0 -
Hopefully they get it fixed

@scottalanmiller Giving Unity another try or are you using something else?

I'm on Unity right at this moment. Going to try to get Cinnamon working, though.

Cinnamon is installing now.

Downloading Fedora 24
