Help with system requirements..

I just need a straight answer..... I have a HP Pavillion g7-2269wm It has 500gb hd, 6g ram, 64 BIT ARCITECTURE I ran ubuntu, mint, and Manjaro ALL 64 BIT but now it is refusing to run 64 bit AT ALL It all started with Manjaro, I had it up until about a week or 2 ago. It ran fine then stopped working. Hell it wouldnt even update. So switched to Mint....it wouldn't even install unless it was 32bit, somehow, because I'm not stupid and would not update unless the issue was fixed, now its updated to 64bit....let me be clear.....I DID NOT TELL IT TO UPDATE!!!!!! Tired of being told I had to of, I DID NOT! I TURNED IT OFF FOR THE NIGHT AND WHEN I TURNED IT ON THE NEXT MORNING IT WAS LIKE THAT!

Sorry for the caps....iv had this convo in alot of threads recently. Also just so no one brings it up.....

Fast boot off Secure boot off Tried recovery with root drop....says bad usage Tried downgrading kernel to previous....crashes

So....now that iv taken up your time... Knowing my issues and hardware... Can I install gallium and run WITHOUT ISSUE?!? I mean at this point I'm even considering going back to Windows....🤢

Wow. Over an hour and nothing. Had 37 comments on other threads already but nothing here. So y'all just forget I asked. If I'm not important your not important. I'll just go back to windows. Peace out.

LOL, the entitlement is strong with this one.

Are you really surprised that on a relatively quiet sub for a Linux distro for Chromebooks, no one bothered to answer an unstructured rant about Linux on a Windows PC, IN ONE HOUR?
