aashleyy12 Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 Linux Mint is 98% Ubuntu, it is easy to install the Nvidia graphics driver, you just go to init3 (out of the GUI) then enter your user name and password then type sudo su then your password again then type envy then apart from selecting yes twice (which is the default) it does it automatically.

Alan2273 Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 I had forgotten about this thread, as it is nearly 4 years old.It is a lot easier to use now, as a live CD/DVD, with proprietary drivers on a lot of the distros, so virtually no terminal use. jandrenievs welcome to the dark side.
