You created this thread asking if you had to install Ubuntu before installing Linux Mint. I replied to you explaining the differences between Debian, Ubuntu and Linux Mint. I even went as far as to explain your options in brief when running the disc and installing Mint.
Then you thank me but tell me you've proven what I said was wrong, and when I asked you to explain further you said I mis-informed you about how the installer works. That's calling me out, as you've told me the information I kindly wrote in response to your request for help was incorrect and you've proven otherwise.
If you have looked at the guide I linked you, you would have realised I have a good idea what I'm talking about, and my first post to you quite clearly detailed that the two OS' can co-exist alongside one another, which is why I explained the two best options depending on whether you intended to keep Windows or not.
Your experience level with Linux is nothing to do with it, what has annoyed me is your suggestion that I've misled you when that isn't the case at all.
