    I recently made the switch to linux as well and I have it on my laptop and gaming PC. I do keep a portable install of windows on an external drive for more niche cases, such as music production which I had terrible luck with on Linux. When I booted up my laptop with the windows drive, I noticed that my keyboard backlight wasn’t working. And it took me a second to realize that Windows doesn’t come with basic drivers… In Linux mint, my keyboard backlight worked right away. I also wish I made the jump to Linux much earlier.












  • That still didn’t work. The launcher is able to see the drive I want to install to but it’s improperly reading the disk size, it says there’s 15gigs available when there’s 300. I’ve triple checked that it’s the right drive. In fact none of my drives have only 15gigs available. But anyway, I found a solution. I have an external drive that’s NTFS and its installing to that.
