[MEGATHREAD] Personal Computer - Updated builds thanks to Logical Increments
TristanLuigi:
Right, well the case came with three different kind of screws. One is short and stubby (there are a bunch), the other's pretty long (there are four), and the other is absolutely tiny (there are a bunch). There are also 4 rubber padding rings, which were in the same package as the short screws. Which combination do I use to attach the motherboard
Tokthree:
The case's manual should tell you, if not try putting them into the standoffs until you find the one that fits. I'd expect them to be somewhat short with an average thread and a smallish head

Wish I was a pro with linux, my linux comp (mint 17, cinnamon interface), decided to implode after simply updating the gpu driver.
Either it was bad luck or something else that went wrong, that was the 6th re-install of mint on that computer and I'm really fed up with it so I decided that even though its an ancient computer, I bought a windows 8.1 pro key from some guy at /r/microsoftsoftwareswap, then used a free upgrade to Windows 10.
Also In a nutshell all the times I have had to reinstall mint was because of trying to change simple things like a wallpaper in the login screen, a cursor, updating drivers, installing drivers, deleting something using terminal, and other general stuff going wrong for one reason or another, my recent experience with mint only adds to this.
However just to be clear though I have had good experiences with mint, back then it used to be my primary os on my laptop, until I was able to get Windows 10 on it via the Insider Program when Windows 10 was in development, and it was my secondary OS on my main computer until I got tired of the delay in dual boot, maybe one day I'll install it in HyperV and run it along side windows.
Also Incase any of you linux pros are wondering what I did, I was trying to use AMD's latest Catalyst drivers , but the installer would not let me install them without uninstalling the stock fglrx Drivers, I was trying to update the drivers because the the stock drivers did not want to detect a monitor connected with a dvi to hdmi cable, for some reason after the restart even though everything seemed fine, I logged in a cinnamon was in a crashing loop going into fallback mode and I could not uninstall those drivers I got from AMD due to navigation being non-existent and no hotkey to open the terminal.
An explanation of what went wrong would really help so I can avoid this when I use mint or any other distro one day.
