    If your computer can’t handle Linux Mint, then either you do something wrong, or your computer is really unstable. I won’t ask you to use Mint, but I will say, that I use it on three different computers, and not a single problem anywhere. Dual-boot is notoriously unstable - mostly due to MS… So my advice is, to use a computer for Linux by it self…

      To put it another way, if it could handle windows 7 or 10 Mint should run even better.

      Remember that when you’re using a live USB everything will be slower because you’re using a USB as your main drive too.
