Hi, Posting in this forum after ages. I decided to make a separate topic for this because my situation is very specific and I don't know how to go about it. Over one year ago, my laptop's hard disk died, mostly due to issues with dust and heat and cooling fan failure. I was living far from the...

Hi, I own a Lenovo Ideapad Y510P. Here are the hardware specs: Intel Core i7 4700MQ NVIDIA GeForce GT 755M (2GB) 8GB RAM 1TB HDD Apart from this, it also has integrated Intel HD graphics. Apparently, Linux mint 16 does not support my graphic card, hence it needed to be run on compatibility...
