What's the problem /g/? It's definitely my computer, but I don't have the faintest clue as to what it could be.
I've been having this issue for months, can some please help?
I've checked everytime if my iso are corrupted, they were fine. Thus computer isnt old but its not brand new either, if that helps.

1) you're a fucking teenager arent you
2) make the effort of describing your fucking specs
3) /g/: not your personal IT dep

Could be a Ubuntu-specific problem, and with the way it interacts with your hardware. Every OS you named is Ubuntu based. Try another distro that isn't Ubuntu-based to see if that's the problem.
The problem here is you're not using a real distro, like Arch.
>>53593452
what computer are you using?
and i'm just assuming you already googled if there has been compatibility issues with your computer, right?

It's like saying Antergos is Arch and Manjaro based
I had my doubts about mint from what /g/ has said about it, but man, ~100mb of ram idle.
I like it, im just wondering where my "debian menu" went, on my thinkcentre windowmaker doesnt use the regular right click menu, it uses one titled debian, and i dont know how to get that one on this thinkpad, because it has alot more shit on it, like all the widgets.
