Linuxmint 21 WARNING!

IMPORTANT!

As there is an OoM bug in the grub that causes boot issues with flashdrives, create your Linuxmint 21 USB flash drive using:
RUFUS (IN ISO MODE) to get around this issue.

Otherwise you’ll be waiting forever for the live USB to load.

Can’t speak for any other 3rd party USB iso creators.

OoM translates to Out of Memory for people reading this post who are curious what that means.

As there is no official announcement on the latest Linux Mint blog
I’d recommend patience before haste.

Are you referring to an official announcement acknowledging the OoM bug in the ISO?

The reason I ask is because the links in @Alex5723 ‘s post above are directly from the Linux Mint Blog pages for their individual versions.

BTW, looks like Susan modified your original post from supersticky to just sticky, from the entry at the bottom of your OP.
