I have been trying to get mint to install correctly on my system for the last couple days. After much messing around, trying different drives (new flash drive, new nvme) and stuff, I finally ran memtest and I’m getting lots of errors on both sticks, tested individually. It’s 2x16 ddr4 3600; I lowered it to 1600 and still get lots of errors, ordered a new pair.

Here’s my question - I have win10 on a separate drive. It boots fine and doesn’t seem to have an issue with the ram at all. Is Linux more sensitive to memory problems?

    New memory fixed it.
