As someone once said: my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

I was genuinely excited to give my old PC a 2nd life and banish my old Win10 from my 4790k GTX1080 and 16GB DDR3 ram.

The PC has 2x Sata SSD's and 3x WD Sata HDD's

I memtested the ram and it passed.

I tried to install Linux on my small SSD 256GB

I got the distro and checked Integrity and Authenticity. All checked out.

I created a bootable USB with Etcher, all seemingly worked.

I booted Linux Live.

Thats when the trouble started.

I got an endless Mint Logo loading screen.

Quick google search later I found the "quiet splash" and replaced it with "nomodeset"

Then it finally booted the USB Mint. I installed it by following the instructions first on my small older Crucial Blue SSD from 2014, nuked windows from it and replaced it with Linux.

After installing and booting into Mint I was greeted with a big White Empty Box and the Black Mint Background + Taskbar at the bottom.

Right clicking opened another epty glitchy white box which I assume was supposed to be a context menu.

Another quick google search I did the same with the "quiet splash" and replaced it with "nomodeset"

The Welcome screen worked albeit in low res.

I installed Nvidia Driver with the integrated manager, restarted, everything worked with resolution, boxes and all.

Then I Downloaded the "Automatic Updates"... and this is where it got worse...

After the update Linux wanted to restart, I said ok and so it happened. After the boot I was in the low res Desktop again...

Unknown Device, checked the update Manager to check Nividia install, according to mint it was there I switched to performance mode Nvidia.

Tried some reebooting and I ended up in easybox v1.36.1... turns out the bootloader or something got corrupted after a long painful search.

So I did everything over again! Nuked the whole mint and reinstalled it all again.

And ended up with the same problem as before only that this time after the Auto Update I wanted to update Nvidia, but it failed spectacularly with an error.

Afterwards I wanted to search from within Linux Mint with Internet and Firefox, but Firefox Profile did not exist, Firefox did not work...

Again I ended up with easybox v1.36.1 or similar menu.

With the Live Boot I smartchecked the SSD's with no noticeable errors and"repaired" the faulty bootsektor apparently, but after booting it immediately broke system again.

This time I used my younger not as old SSD and did EVERYTHING AGAIN!!!

Nuked the old broken Linux Mint and tried installing it again on the other Samsung Evo 800 SSD since I suspected the Crucial SSD maybe just being faulty despite my old Windows 10 running on it without issues on the same day for Years.

But the same happened again, the system collapsed in on itself after doing the Update, I didn't even get to install Nvidia this time and got a completely different failed error.

I tested if Firefox opened, it did, I accidentally closed it, tried to open it again, but Firefox is already running, Log out or reboot if this issue persists. So I did and the last things that happened was...

"despite vacuuming read only" with a bunch of numbers over and over

At this point over 10 Hours have passed trying to get Linux to run on my old PC.

If this is the onboarding experience of the "easiest" Linux Distro... I am not surprised that Linux is only is still on 5% Globally...

I really tried, but I reached my breaking point I built 4 PC's and never had so much issues with Hard or Software like this in a single day...

I mean so far, from what I understood, they where not considered Citizens and more like pets and modern "butlers" or AI Labor you don't have to pay.

Their "sentience" is seemingly not enough to pass the Forbidden Fruit test.

So why do they get a say Rosca as basically a Union and make up "60% of the population" in Rosca.

In my eyes until 3.0 they where not part of the "Population".

I mean yeah Sunbringer sees them as "Children", so is Rosca the only place they actually have rights despite being seen as beneath Intelligent Constructs by the Majority of people?

Than there is the Hypocrisy with the Memory wipe (aka sort of Death) when they are not useful to Rosca anmyore and get "dumped" to New Eridu as Labor or Pets.

Why has Sunbringer no issues with that? They have issues with the Logic Core corruption but not enough issues to get Memory Wiped on a regular basis and shipped off?

Call me Heartless... but why should I care about "Simons" death?

We only have been made minutes before aware of their existence.

We saw or rather read Bangboo being offed dozens of times at this point. Made out to be seen as disposable by the Majority, with few exceptions who stood out Story wise in side Missions and some Events.

I need someone to ELI5 or give me a Brief Explanation why they care that Bangboo got Corrupted Logic Cores so much when they can be seemingly mass produced?

Is it just Sunbringer enforcing this in her Domain to make people care for Bangboo more than most of New Eridu?

Edit: Thank you for the Answers so far. That clears up and helps me understand this quite a bit better. Turns out I forgot quite a few pieces of information during the years playing.
