Steps

E: The repository 'http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ungoogled_chromium/Ubuntu_Focal Release' does not have a Release file.

  • Solved: ignore it and download Mint 22 ISO [2]
    • Verify using sha256sum command in command line as stated on the download page

ISO Creation

  • How to create a bootable disk - just right click on the ISO and select Make Bootable USB Disk (default Disk Utility is activated"?).

Intall

  • In my case, the USB appeared as some weird name, and I did not recognize it. After a couple tries with Function F12 - to get into BIOS - I succeeded in selecting the USB with its name. I recognized the name because when I looked in Linux Mint 20, I saw the weird name. So going into BIOS i selected it. At first the file would never load. Some error and run or install stalled. I reburned the ISO using Disk Utility, and on the second burn the USB gave no errors.I installed but there was only one poor resolution screen upon install. Upon finishing, I regained the 3 monitor system and full resolution (2k)
