I see. I remember there used to be issues with Intel GPUs on linux back 10-15 years ago, but it should work without issues today.

However, on Linux mint you do have to open the driver manager and select your proprietary graphics driver yourself or you end up with the open source one which is not always as performant (though more backwards compatible). It should have the Intel drivers in there too. In general, only the graphics drivers need to be installed by the user and everything else should be set automatically.

And in the case they were installed, rolling back to an earlier version of the driver might also improve it. It looks like Intel has stopped providing updates to the i7-3770 since a few years back, so a later Intel driver could be causing issues.

It should work without any choppiness in the OS itself, but it might take a bit more configuration than newer ones that generally just immediately work.

I am not talking about the method in which the questioning took place or how lit it was. If the problem was "Hasan's room was too dim, there were not enough witnesses, and not recorded properly" that's a different though serious issue. We're not going to remove questioning altogether because of that. Again, we're discussing whether him being questioned is reasonable or expected, not the method in which it happened. Of course these things should be monitored by multiple people or at least logged.

Same goes with your other point. If you have an issue with who should decide and who should enforce, that's not a Hasan problem. If we're shitting on the trump administration, then let me get the turd clipper, because I'm all for it. But there was nothing outrageous about Hasan being questioned.

Anyone who has recently been in any contact with terrorists should expect to be questioned regardless of motive. It is to confirm that indeed those are the motives and that you aren't being blackmailed and forced. This is basic immigration checking.

And no, questioning does not mean arrest. Going behind bars is a huge leap in logic. Being questioned is inconvenient but is neither punishment nor silencing. They were not sending a message.

when you travel to any country, they have the right to question you for whatever reason just like you have the right to information from them.

Mind if I ask some things? If you don't want to try again, you can ignore this.

Did this happen while you were trying it out on the USB, or had the installation finished and you had removed the USB and restarted?

Were the nvidia d rivers installed in the driver manager? Was there any difference with the open source drivers?

Was secure boot disabled in your BIOS?

Was it a laptop or desktop? In case of laptop it might have been using battery saver mode. installing https://github.com/linrunner/TLP might have helped setting it up properly if you don't want to handle it yourself.

What graphics card do you have? I can check if there are any compatibility issues, though there shouldn't be unless it is decades old, in which case you might want to try out one of the more old hardware compatibility focused Linux distros.

Nobody's asking you to "give Hasan a pass"

This whole subthread is literally about why Hasan being questioned for communicating with terrorists is unsurprising.

All the downvoted people are saying "makes sense since he literally supports a terrorist organization"

The rest are just people arguing "an eye for an eye", "I don't think they should be labeled terrorists", and "it was justified terrorism", none of which matter in this conversation, because anyone who has been in contact with or expressed support for any terrorist organization should be questioned. He doesn't have to be arrested specifically, but definitely questioned. They're ignoring the topic to virtue signal, but this conversation is about the justification for Hasan's questioning, which still is "absolutely yes he should be questioned" and now that it's also been resolved, that's that.

No. Both sides are wrong. That doesn't excuse either side's behavior.

That's why you use Godot.

Sounds like something went wrong with the installation. Mint is overall more performant than windows. What slowed down?
