Are you in Kosovo ? We had hail storms yesterday, the roads were full of water that driving at 20 KMH was hard !

I'm in the US, in Texas. There was a hurricane coming inland about 3 hours to the south, pushing some storms up here where I'm at.

Did you try both sides of the keyboard ? I have two PCS that require that on a USB keyboard.
so both CTRL and both Shifts

Just tried it twice, then a 3rd with the wireless keyboard removed and an old-school good wired keyboard instead. Just boots normal into the Mint desktop.

Did that. The only option with RT was recovery mode, booted to that and ran uname -a and its RT but only in recovery mode.

Went back to the Grub thing again and this time the non-recovery one was there. Moved it to the top and rebooted, and now after uname -a it's showing RT. Thanks Tommy.
