Thank you for this video. I found it very helpful. I have subscribed. Also, I wanted to say that your videos helped me decide to switch from Windows to Mint on my laptop. I'm trying out there. After a few weeks if I'm still happy and comfortable with it, I will switch my desktop to Linux Mint. I'm so tired of all the pop-ups trying to get me to switch to Win11, upgrade my MS Office, and use the AI. Thank you again.

What does everyone think? Bing search engine aside, I'd like to use Ecosia. But I use an ad-blocker, so I feel guilty using Ecosia resources when they don't get ad-revenue from me. Fewer trees get planted. However, I wouldn't click on ads even if I saw them, so Ecosia might not get paid anyway.
I'm pretty sure that my fraction of a planted tree doesn't have a bigger benefit than the energy I'm saving by not sending ad and tracking data to and from advertising companies and using computer resources and power displaying their ads on my screens.
I wonder if there has been a study of the environmental cost of the advertising industry.

@alanmcrae8594 Says:
Liked & subscribed! Excellent presentation that was very professionally produced. Just what the Linux Mint community needs as more & more users switch from Windows.
Additional videos that might help, if you haven't tackled them yet:
1. Fresh install system security lockdown best practices checklist, settings, apps, offline storage of disaster recovery files, verfication
2. Installing your must have Windows apps on Linux Mint system: what works reasonably reliably
3. Local area network administration tools for packet capture & analysis, wifi troubleshooting, pc/user heuristics, etc

I've been migrating from Windows to Linux Mint for five years now. I think I'll just stick with Linux Mint. I don't see why I would change; everything works, and it will stay that way.

Just installed my first Linux OS on my "obsolete" 2013 windows 10 laptop. Once I figured out the bios with the help of the Samsung manual and AI. Linux Mint installation was a breeze. After an hour I was sold and deleted Windows for the full Linux install. All my Bluetooth, printers, sound, mouse, keyboard are working. Still have some work to do on the Linux file system and terminal. Thank you for all your videos including this one and the Ventoy multi OS boot drive.🙂
@NYCamper62 Says:
Good move on using the terminal for installing ms core fonts. It's a good introduction.
@karlobluesman Says:

@fingereze7202 Says:
I've been on Linux for over 10 years now, ditching mac os which I was using for over 25+ years before that. When I finally went full Linux, I started with Ubuntu, but a few years later stuck with Mint. I've been using Mint for a while now (Mint MATE version) and I still found a few insights in your video. Never came across any of your vids before but have now subscribed and will be checking out your content. Great video BTW. Keep on with the great content and style!
@blulion7834 Says:
Very good presentation. You just earned a subscriber and a like.

I switched from windows 10 to Linux Mint but now my sound on my laptop is gone.
How do I sort this out?
@sangeetsubedi9509 Says:
Pewds pushed me to Linux and I am liking it so far, although WiFi dongle and gaming controllers arenot plug and play...
@abanichdoch8318 Says:
Just installed Mint for good on my new Laptop (most used). The control, the tranquility. I am so, so happy!
I had some attempts on my Desktop (gaming rig) beneath Windows, but I found it inconvenient to choose at the start.
@sam0var843 Says:
I did a fresh install of Linux Mint 22.1 Xia. I am having errors pertaining to Nvidia drivers. When I open my Driver Manager, I get a check mark, NO DRIVERS NEEDED and no option to change the installed drivers. How can I change that?
@Bjorntheaussie Says:
Dude I always enjoy the watching your videos.
@chika8461 Says:
You have the same gpu as mine. I installed linux for the first time in july 13 2024 and I loved it so much I didn't forget the date. I playing a little with it now that I'm more used to it( I'm so happy I was able to make ncmpcpp to work). Did lots of things you showed in your video too, thanks for sharing😘
@MartinWillett Says:
I have put Linux on old underpowered netbooks and laptops in the past wirh the view to making them useful again. It worked to a degree but really I am a desktop user. I once made my desktop dual boot but got frustrated wirh it.
Then I had problems wirh Windows 11. It was constantly trying to update, failing, trying to restore itself and failing.
I had nothing to lose from installing Linux Mint.
I think it is technically dual boot now but it aitomatically boots into Mint after a short pause and I havent bothered to rven try to boot into Windows.
Linux Mint just works. Why pay for software when there is a choice of free software that is as good as anything you can afford to buy?
@svargo1912 Says:
you got me sold how about doing a video on steam and games?
@TonksTech Says:
Iv came bk to mint for basic workflow jUst cus windows 11 is just slowing and glitchin my old laptop so i think im here to stay now 😂
@sen7826 Says:
A note about 10:40 and 11:20
This software to open and install fonts does not come installed by default on some versions of mint. In the software manager, search for "gnome font viewer" and install the one with most reviews. There is another font manager (search "font manager") that I found had more and better ratings, but since this channel used this one, I tried only this one, and it worked. Thank you.
@betanpc8210 Says:
I just installed linux mint as my daily driver after years of using windows reason being having heard of windows recall on windows 11. This video has been helpful i didnt know about mint's backup which is nice. Thank you
@ronwilliams4184 Says:
I'm using Mint, but I have to report a weird thing: At the start, if I moved my cursor towards the bottom of the screen, it would sometimes blank. Weird. But after installing a lot of programs, that's gone away! Don't know why - something I installed, installed something that affected that positively! Linux can still be a bit flaky.
@petertech210 Says:
Just switch to LM. How do you set it so when i close my laptop lid the plugged in screen doesn't go off. Power settings doesn't seem to work.
@ginoleo52 Says:
3:52 how was that reboot so insanely fast?
@Homer19521 Says:
Just days ago Installed LM on my very old laptop this is my 1st Linux exposure. How can I tell which video h/w is running in my very old ASUS UL50V? Anyway to force LM to use the card instead of the onboard? Thanx.
@TroubledTrooper Says:
I have had relatives I installed Mint on complain about these very things, and I ended up doing as you did here. Increasing the size. Thanks for the video.

@Meta-Grammar-312 Says:
What is wrong with Lenux? That is simple. Every Distro, should be working not only from a common Kernal, but a common set of basic interface apps. From that core, then distros can app it all they want.
Without a Common Standard interfact foundation, involving the file system, then it will simply be like so many pieces of a broken cup.

Oh, after YEARS I've finally got my wife running Linux Mint 22.

Loved your document describing font faces!
@pawel8365 Says:
I was excited to return back to this video and apply some of the suggestions mentioned, Mint is an absolute blast to use!
@cythree Says:
Windows user since 3.1. I just put Linux Mint on my old window 8 laptop (2012). Your videos are very helpful and easy to follow making learning Linux a lot of fun. I might just put a duel boot on my main laptop. Thanks!
