What are the chances that I, a not particularly tech savvy person, go to download mint and end up bricking my computer?
Honestly, my computer is an absolute bottom of the barrel $200 Dell laptop right now, so it wouldn't be that big of a deal, but I'd hate to fuck it up, get a better computer, and fuck that up too.
Its very unlikely you would brick the computer in the sense of not being repairable. Most likely mistake would be accidentally wiping everything that's on the laptop currently. As always, backup your important files to an external device first just in case.
