From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I recently dual booted linux mint on my laptop, and I came across the infinite squashfs error (an infinite amount of "SQUASHFS error: Unable to read page" and "SQUASHFS error: Unable to read data counting up, I think because I took out the usb and pressed enter too quickly) I couldn't do anything, so I shut down and restarted, upon restart, its running fine? No corruption.

Edit: I reinstalled and waited a while after unplugging before and enter did not work, I hit escape and this happened again, though text is bigger and slower

I had this or a similar issue right after installation many times. I force rebooted and everything was fine. I wouldn't worry about it too much
