While AMD is severely struggling to cut down on driver fragmentation, Nvidia was and is one step ahead.īut as it turns out, Gforce Experience is by no means a bug-free software. This is accomplished with tools like Gforce Experience (Nvidia’s proprietary tool). A big part of Nvidia’s appeal comes from the seamless driver integration and optimization across all GPU models. While it’s impossible to declare an absolute victor, Nvidia has the advantage over AMD in terms of driver deployment. It appears to only be an issue with the Cinnamon install package.The battle for supremacy in the GPU game takes place in many different sectors. Once I got the OS installed with Mate and added Cinnamon, everything has been top knotch. I also had tried the install in compatibility mode, but it failed that way too. It was mentioned that someone had success creating an install USB.

I am going to try disconnecting the second hard drive with Windows installation and see if that works. It just sits there and will not go any further. Mouse clicks and keyboard become inoperative. Tried unchecking third party software - still no joy The installer hangs on the partitioning screen or the Install Third Party Software screen.

Theonly reason I made this post is because having the second drive connected at the time of installation resulted in the installer hanging so I wanted to share I experienced in case other people run into the same problem.īeen trying to install Linux Mint 19.1 on my computer which has Linux Mint 18.3 on one hard drive and Windows on a second hard drive.
