Je suis assez déçue du comportement de Canonical (Ubuntu) et leur manière de forcer à utiliser leur propre store en rendant beaucoup plus complexe l'installation de fichiers qui devraient s'installer en un double clic (cf https://news.itsfoss.com/ubuntu-24-04-disappointment/), du coup j'essaye Linux Mint.
Giving #LinuxMint a spin in a virtual machine because my mom has expressed an interest in migrating to Linux when #Windows 10 enters end-of-life. It's actually pretty darn slick and user-friendly; comes with a lot of stuff made by the Mint devs themselves for #Linux Mint, and I think it might be the perfect thing to migrate my mom over to. Will probably stick with the #Debian based LMDE.
Ich habe heute das erste mal Linux installiert.Habe mich lange nicht getraut, warum auch immer.🤷♂️
Ich fasse es mal kurz zusammen:
-USB stick vorbereiten,kann jeder der Windows bedienen kann
-Installation durchlaufen lassen,kann jeder der Windo....
-fertig, der Rechner ist einsatzbereit
-Linux Mint kann jeder bedienen der win...
-jetzt nur noch diverse Programme einrichten #wiegeilistdasdenn #linuxmint
Es ist kein #hexenwerk
Weg von #windows
Wow! This is so much nicer than Ubuntu! The default theming, appearance, color schemes, icon themes, all of it is much more beautiful. And their "Welcome to Mint" screen that you get on the first boot-up is really helpful.
@OrionKidder@mdione@ehrba No need to worry about being new. I think you will find thet #LMDE does exactly what you want. It is #LinuxMint without the Ubuntu base. Pure Debian and a (in my case) Cinnamon DE
If I would not have DX11 & DX12 games, I would only use #linuxmint desktop on my PC, and left Windows 11 behind. Approximately Steam library one fifth runs on #linux as well. Soon it will be better n better as having alternates: Vulkan, OpenGL. This is the only disadvantage remains for me. Every app has alternate or web PWA or whatever solution.
I have just had a message from Microsoft on my Windows 10 desktop that all support is ending for Windows 10 on October 25th.
My computer isn't compatible for Windows 11, even if I wanted it.
I am only moderately tech savvy, so I'm very nervous about installing Linux Mint ( recommended by quite a few blogs etc). Where would I find tech support if it goes wrong?
Edit: muting this now as I've had such a good response from all you super people.
Speaking of #AffinityDesigner and my love of it, that might be the thing that prevents me from fully going over to #LinuxMint on my laptop. I feel like somehow that isn't an app that's going to work great in a VM? I'm not super thrilled about trying to set up dual boot just for one app, though. Seems overwrought.
...But I really do love Affinity Designer. I learned vectors on Inkscape and it was a breath of fresh air to come to Designer. #linux
My "Screenshot Dump" folder is so out of control. I need to do some culling BUT I also need to save and rename some so I can find them at a later date.
What I wish #Linux had was a desktop application that could identity objects and expressions in pictures similar to how Google Photos (others are available while stocks last) does.
Because I don't want to upload 2000 images to my Google drive to find the one I'm looking for with a /laugh emote in it.
BUT I have managed to switch to #LinuxMint on a 2010 MacBook Air and it's a revelation. It auto-updates, it's fast, easy and the most relaxed time I've had with #Linux so far.
So, if anyone out there is thinking of switching, give it a go!
(oh, and if you're on Mac, you may need #BalenaEtcher to help the process)
Glad I switched, fully, to #Linux a few months ago. I'm not a programmer or techie, and struggled with Linux in the past, but compared to a decade ago, the installation was really easy & it the user interface has improved dramatically.
Fediverse, hear my plea. I have an HP Omen 15 and was thinking on switching to #Linux due to the progressive enshittification of windows and the #recall garbage. I know Laptops are tricky. What Distro would you recommend? Would Linux Mint fit the bill? I'm more of a KDE/Cinnamon person that a Gnome person FYI
Jetzt wurde es auf dem alten ASUS-Notebook doch #LinuxMint, weil Solus "Installation gescheitert", mit einer Fehlermeldung ausgab, die ich nicht lösen konnte.
Auch wenn Mint im Vergleich der drei Distros am meisten Speicher beansprucht, macht es auf mich einfach den besseren Eindruck, gegenüber Lubuntu (Look & Feeld) und es ist für das Alter des Notebooks (Pentium-Prozessor) brauchbar performant.
