Hi I'm very new to Linux so here's a little back story. I have a Toshiba satellite Which previously had windows 10 installed on it. Well I had some issues and couldn't get my laptop to boot up it was unuseable. So as a last ditch effort I decided to to try and install a different OS so I chose Linux mint. Seemed user friendly. Well I installed from a live usb. Now this worked for a little bit then it kept having more problems. I cannot get it to boot past Lm splash screen. I'm starting to get extremely frustrated. I hope my laptop is not trashed. Please help
So here's what I got it's a lot to type so I'll ll do the last 10
