Just installed #Linux Mint on yet another PC, a Dell Laptop with workable specs (I5 8gen) but some years old. I am still surprised how easy installation is, everything worked out of the box and Cinnamon is snappy and efficient. It feels like new. One less windoze in this world, it is a good day.

About switching to Linux. They started boiling the frog with windows 8, is it still comfortable there?

Happy New Year! May your computer just work… and if it does, welcome to Linux Mint.

Nvidia works well with Linux, this was a very old problem.

My 2nd corvette attempt, I like it but the front is, maybe, still too flat. Access ramps placement is, I think, original. #nms #nomanssky #linux #linuxmint #proton

Lots of "switched to Linux" announcements... You have really switched to #Linux when you have not booted into windoze for, at least, 6 months.

Some random suggestions for 1st time #Linux Mint users: 1) Create 2 different partitions for / and /home. 2) Make a 2nd user on your pc, if something goes wrong with the 1st one you can still login with the 2nd and fix things. 3) Initialize Timeshift to make system backups at least weekly.

I can't wait to see this new wonder, for a laugh of course. Switched to #Linux Mint back in 2017 and not regretting one moment.

I think I will start blocking all those accounts with the words #linux and #plague in the same post.

My prevision, with #gnome and #xde making #wayland mandatory: those who actually need to USE their computer will rush to #cinnamon and #xfce because those will still support #x11 sessions. In 18 more years it is possible it will leave alpha stage but not sure. #linux

Main difference between Windows and Linux: Windows users are diffident of updates, Linux user look forward to updates. Expectations!

Best #linux feature? Knowing that your stuff is exactly and only under /home/<username> instead of the "somewhere" that is the new normal. You are responsible for it and fully in control.
