nothing's installing- ferron os

[aries757]

so i dual booted for a day or 2, then removed windows because i preferred linux, at the time i had voyager ( a xubuntu distro) currently i have ferron, a linux mint  distro, and neither saved anything i installed or any customizations, whether it be chrome, or discord, the only thing that stayed somewhat installed is steam and it just keeps reinstalling the main part

It says what, AMD64? That's just the processor architecture, all 64-bit CPUs from Intel use AMD's x64 extensions.

If you have more than 4GB RAM you better use the AMD64 version, i386 is for 32-bit processors and has a hard limit of 4GB RAM.

You want the AMD64 if you have a 64Bit Intel CPU. i386 is 32Bit.
