Installing Linux Mint on my brand new Dell Inspiron 14 7420

[f23948]

I did turn off secure boot and Intel Platform Trust technology and Microsoft uefi CA in BIOS.

Which one is disabled fast boot? Minimal or thorough?

Secure Boot Mode, do i need set to deployed mode or audit mode?

in BIOS settings, do i need to set multiple cores settings to all? VT for direct i/o, do i need to set on or off? Enable intel speedstep technology do i need to set to on or off? C-states control, do i need set on or off? Enable pre-boot dma support, do i need to set to on or off? enable os kernel dms support, do i need to set on or off? battery configuation, do i need set to standard? Thermal management, do i need to set to ultra performance?

@f23948 I have merged your Linux Mint question into your existing thread. Please stick to a single thread for a topic.

Did I miss something? Mint supports secure boot. Is there a reason you want to disable it?

I would leave those settings as they are and install the os. If you want to know what they do then change one at a time and test to see how the os responds.

No unless you have your laptop connected to power all the time or dont care about battery life. Honestly, you dont need to change anything apart from disabling secure boot for some distros.

I'm considering doing the same, did you have any luck with getting Linux installed on an Inspiron 14 7420?
