I have a raid 0 array running on Windows 10, but sometimes I need to switch to Linux from a USB drive. I use a dedicated GPU (ASUS Strix 960) for gaming monitors and an integrated GPU (Intel HD Graphics 4600) for other displays. Linux doesn’t work well with the integrated GPU, so I have to disable one of them. This process is tedious because I need to enter BIOS/UEFI and restart twice before I can access Linux.

I don't get what you're saying. DisplayPort is just another adapter; using other ones would be cheaper and lighter. The previous one I got stopped working.

Consider using visual aids to clarify the process. The issue you're facing with Linux Mint often arises when trying to enter without disabling a setting, leading to the error displayed.

The issue probably comes from your xorg configuration. For a multi-head GPU setup it's fairly straightforward, but with several GPUs it gets more complicated. Check the Arch Wiki post on multiple-GPU configuration at: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/xor...phics_card. I don't know your distribution, but most of them have a comprehensive guide there.
