Outdated. See [[Intel: Installing Linux Mint 19]]
== Prepare installation media ==
* A USB DVD-ROM drive or a USB Flash drive of at least 2GB should be used as installation media
* Download [http://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=190 204 Linux Mint 17.2 3 "RafaelaRosa" - Cinnamon (64-bit)"]
* For installation with a USB DVD-ROM - flash the downloaded image directly onto a DVD
* For installation with a USB Flash drive, please follow [http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/744 How to install Linux Mint via USB] tutorial
* Both of them use GPU accelerated video decoding and give excellent playback quality
* Both of them compatible with the most popular video formats
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install kodi vlc vainfo i965-va-driver
* Kodi will support GPU accelerated video decoding out of the box
* In VLC you need to check Tools->Preferences->Input and Codecs->Use GPU accelerated decoding checkbox to take advantage of GPU accelerated video decoding
== Thermal monitoring ==
* Install tools for monitoring CPU and storage temperature (if supported by storage device)
$ sudo apt-get install lm-sensors hddtemp
$ sensors | grep -i Core
Core 0: +38.0°C (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 1: +42.0°C (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
$ sudo hddtemp /dev/sda
/dev/sda: Hitachi HTS545016B9A300: 27°C
