I've mostly used Cakewalk Sonar on Windows in the past. Certainly open to trying new DAW's but I'm wondering which distro is the best for this sort of thing - primarily, no-latency audio recording?
Thanks
Linux Mint Cinnamon, Toshiba Laptop, 4th gen i7, Nvidia Geforce GTX 770M GPU (3g). From searching it looks like I can only use the 470 driver but it didn't work as far as I can tell. From the Terminal:
Qosmio-X75-A:~$ sudo apt install nvidia-driver-470

Laptop 4th gen i7, Linux Mint Cinnamon.
So the first time I installed from USB, it put Linux on a separate partition, but kept windows. So this time I made another flash drive with GParted...
To my surprise, this laptop has two 500 gig drives. One was split into many partitions. I used GParted to erase all partitions leaving just the two 500 gig drives; that I've both reformatted to EXT4. I named one Primary and the other Data.
I reinstalled Linux Mint Cinnamon, but in the file manager, I only see one of the drives. And I'm not exactly sure which drive it is. But do I need to mount the other drive or do something special so that I can see it within Linux?
Thanks
Ok so installed Mint Cinnamon from USB on my older Laptop, (4th gen i7 with Geforce GTX 770M 3g GPU). It said it would use the entire drive, perfect. Got it running, looks good.
Restarted, and Windows (10) is back!... So obviously I didn't install over windows as intended. At this point, can I still reformat or re-partition the drive to remove windows and make all that space available?
Or do I need to use some tool to reformat or re-partition the drive and re-install Mint fresh?
Thanks
