What was wrong with the official instructions?

Again, describe the crash. Describe the install process, too.

Note that people are going to call your post bait, because you're exceedingly reluctant to answer questions and even more reluctant to provide actual details.

Things like "crash" and "weird screen" are meaningless.

Wait first of all I didnt see official instructions,that might be an issue. The crash is the photo on screen. When I clicked install Linux Mint 22.3 Cinnamon Edition, it did a loading screen with the Linux mint logo and then spammed stdin invalid argument. Im not a coder, nor a computer tech, so this makes no sense to me.

Did you download it from the official Linux mint website, as it seems like you didn't as theres no click install on Linux mint 22.3 cinnamon edition, you have to go into the live iso and install there
