Linux Mint woes

[michael norman]

Who knows ? Because you want Linux to be like Windows ? What is your 
struggle, with what distro exactly. I use openSUSE but i have run GIP on 
that and LinuxMint with no problems. Updating GIP on either simply 
works.  Last time I looked the instructions (squarepenguin or github) 
are easy enough to follow.  I know I've done it enough times.

Last time I did it on LinuxMint you find the up to date package and 
follow the instructions, but unless you tell us where you found the 
package and what steps  you did to install it neither I nor anybody else 
can help you. If you find a useable package, install it with the Linux 
Mint package manager it will work.  Assuming your LM installation 
(whatever partition its on) works and you know how to use it.
