Good morning With recent changes to the Windows platform I’ve decided to make the swap to Linux. While it’s not the first time I’ve tried it out I’m hoping to find the transition easier this time. I’m giving Mint a go and will try and make this my main OS. I will keep windows as a dual boot option for now just in case I have to do a task that I haven’t learned how to do with Linux.

So far I’ve managed to get steam running and tested a game I’d play to confirm it was working.

I suspect the biggest challenge will be terminal.

If anyone has any feedback or suggestions I’m open to them. Heck even funny moments when you first started. I still find when Linus nuked his setup very funny.

    When you feel like it, start looking up stuff you can do now that you couldn’t before, like customizing your desktop environment (“ricing”). It’s fun, and there are a lot of options out there.

    And you don’t have to, because the GUI options are good too, but I make a point to install and update packages from the terminal. You’ll get more familiar with it that way.
