Boot Linux in Compatibility / Safe / Trobuleshooting Mode

When having issues booting into (not just Linux) any OS (Operating System), it's always wise trying Compatibility/Safe/Troubleshooting Mode if available, where minimal hardware, systems and configurations will be attempted to load. That way if there is an issue with driver(s) for example - you will at least have an ability to try to update the drivers using "Driver Manager" or simply try to update the system using Terminal (apt update; apt upgrade; etc.).

Here is how to boot via Compatibility Mode on some of the versions of Linux (it's similar on others, you basically have to select compatibility/safe/troubleshooting modes when within Linux Live menu, which is usually the last step before OS starts loading):

• Linux Mint
  • Boot with the USB, then depending on the screen you will see, select "Start in compatibility mode" option and hit Enter.
• Linux Ubuntu
  • Boot with the USB, then once you get to the GRUB menu, select "Ubuntu (safe graphics)"
• Linux Kali
  • Boot with the USB, then once you get to Kali live menu, select "Live system (amd64 failsafe mode)"
• Linux Tails
  • Boot with the USB, then once you get to Tails live menu, select "Tails (Troubleshooting Mode)"
