    what’s the problem using RST with Linux?

    Just asking, my old laptop too has RST, but no problems with Linux. (Granted, the manufacturer’s website states I should install only 8GBs of RAM max and once I used 16GB in it, and had some strange… memory related issues sometimes… with 12, there’s no problem. Tho this wasn’t a Linux problem, my laptop just hanged after booting into anything. (Linux, Windows, memtest, anything, really))

      I honestly don’t know. Just that I tried to install Mint and it booted from USB just fine, but gave an error when I tried to run the installer. I don’t recall the error message anymore but when I googled it, the problem was RST being enabled. I (dumbly) disabled it and rebooted into Windows only to find a drive missing. Thought I lost it but after re-enabling and rebooting a couple of times it came back.

      I decided not to play until I could move that data and then reformat the drive without RST.
