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.
The number one shock for most people when coming over to Linux is a reliance on package management for programs rather than the exe’s & msi’s of windows. In general on mint your installation methods in order should be
1.software manager 2.appimage 3.deb 4.tar
I may have forgotten some other formats since I haven’t used mint in a while, but this should allow for the smoothest experience when it comes to installing programs.
