Most likely a missing package or something, so software. If also depends on which version of Mint you got (Ubuntu or Debian based).

Make a post here when you get time. If you can get a crash dump (e.g. run it on the terminal and copy the output), that'll help a ton in figuring out what went wrong.

Aw! Well, right before I read this I started installing Ubuntu on the Mint machine.

I have a third laptop I want to do this with, but I have to find a charger. I’ll try Mint again when I get to that.

I’m just trying to set up my buddies with OpenRA so we can have LAN parties like it’s 1999

Ubuntu is absolutely fine too, use whatever works best for you. But please don't hesitate to ask for help.

Thanks! Yeah I like it. I’m just dipping my toes in Linux for now, hence using old machines that I’m willing to wipe and start over with
