I'm a complete beginner looking to start with mint. I have a USB but don't know how to make it. Are there tutorials I can use?

ATM ventoy is on the USB. Do I download the minto to a random folder to check first of do I verify it in ventoy? Also which mirrors are good?

just do what ventoy tells you

you can download mint as a torrent, otherwise pick a mirror that is geographically close

Toreenting from official site. Is the torrent meant to be 3 GB rather than 2.8gb?

that's how it looks for me in transmission (linux mint 21.2 cinnamon)

K, I'm gonna terminate my download and torenet it

And the benefit of Ventoy is that it's literally drag and drop the ISO once you setup Ventoy for the first time.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
