I installed mint21 and it runs great for about 5 loads then stuff happens. First it would boot into busybox. I tryed the fsck and that would work sometimes then the kernel began to panic after a week. I would reinstall and the process (busy box.... reinstall) would start over.

I haven't received any replies in like 4 days. I am thinking it is time to try a different distro. I was thinking about VOID. A couple of questions: what about my /home partition, will it transfer seamlessly? Do you think void will fix the problem or else what do you recommend?</div>-- <br><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><span style="font-size:12.8px">:-)~MIKE~(-:</span><br></div></div></div></div></div></div>
