Starting to get the kinks worked out and doing normal life stuff on new OS. Hopefully I'll tell microsoft to piss off one day.

Update on my keyboard issue: When the boot select screen comes up the Linux Mint is the first option, if I let it do its little countdown for 8 seconds and it boots into linux everything is fine. However, if I don't wait the 8 seconds and I just push enter to expedite things to boot faster then my keyboard does not work. I have tested this numerous times with the same results. I guess I am learning to be more patient now!!

When you say Hack my grub, are you meaning edit the grub file? Cause I think that's not really hacking!!

It's Linux nerd humor. sed is a Linux command that among other things substitutes text. For the command "s/hack/modify" it searches through the text for any instance of "hack" and replaces it with "modify".

To change that 8 seconds to something more reasonable, as root, edit the file /etc/default/grub and change the GRUB_TIMEOUT value, then run the command update-grub.
