I know mint offers this on their website, but that’s more to make sure you’re not installing dodgy malware instead, say if you downloaded the image from a torrent or mirror instead of the actual site.
It’s not necessary but recommended. You could always try to install since it’s on an old laptop you could wipe again if anything goes wrong.
Happy to help too if you need it

I’m going to double check. It looks like I went to linuxmint.com and chose Cinnamon.
And when the numbers didn’t match I tried mirrors (which claimed to be from reputable sources like universities and looked legit) to do the sha hashing steps on those too.
Seems in March someone on linux.org was talking about bad isos, I’mma read through and see if he or she found a solution.

That’s weird - Ive not had that issue but I have to say I am often a bit lazy and don’t check. If it’s not lining up it suggests the download was corrupted. I guess you have tried the download more then once?
If you tell em which distro I would be happy to go through the steps and download and share what I did in case there’s something you are doing wrong (not suggesting there is - I don’t know how much of a computer person you are). But I am travelling so can’t do it this week because I dont want to be downloading over mobile hotspot.

wondering if I should buy some perfume at duty free
dolce vita is nice, I used to get bulgari rose in winter but that’s getting very hard to find

Sounds like the best place to get it from. I worked at a chemist warehouse for like 2 months and there’s a massive markup on fragrances. It’s where they got some of their best margin
