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!!

You are doing great. I got to throw my monitor into the landfill (non-hazardous area) because I fucked up my hsync timing for Xwindows. That was 20 years ago. I would wait the 8 seconds, and in a few months you can hack your grub config and make that delay 3 seconds, or remove the delay.

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