Linux Mint simple Setup for Gaming/Multimedia stuff

Formatting the SSD/HDD properly before installing Linux Mint or any other Linux distribution or operating system,use Live USB:

  • sudo cfdisk /dev/sda
  • sudo cfdisk /dev/nvme0n1
  • Delete everything you see then Write>>Yes

Wipping the partition schemes

  • sudo wipefs -a /dev/sda
  • sudo wipefs /dev/nvme0n1

Deleting everything properly so no forencisc recovery is possible

  • sudo shred -f -v /dev/sda
  • sudo shred -f -v /nvme0n1

Also this works but it does not show the process:

  • sudo shred /dev/sda
  • sudo shred /dev/nvme0n1
