Within three years from now, support for Windows 7 will be dropped by Microsoft. It doesn't mean that Windows 7 will no longer be worth using but security issues will plague it in time. Since I cannot stand Windows 10, I've decided to switch to Linux. This thread is about Linux distributions, not Windows 10; please remember this.
I've installed Linux Mint 18 Sarah Cinnamon; it installed well but I cannot boot it other than by using the recovery mode; apparently, there is a compatibility problem between the distribution and my hardware, especially the graphics drivers.
I cannot install Ubuntu for the same reasons, so I'm opened to any suggestions.
Thank you!
My hardware:
CPU: Quad core AMD A10-5750M APU with Radeon HD Graphics,
Graphics card 1: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Richland [Radeon HD 8650G],
Graphics card 2: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Wimbledon XT [Radeon HD 7970M].
