      Heh. I just went from a Chromebook to mint.

      Honestly baffled by the basics. Currently youtubing how to mount a NFS share from (on?) my NAS.

        Not 100% sure if there’s an easy-mode for this one but just a friendly reminder to copy fstab to fstab.old or fstab.backup so you can revert to it if something doesn’t go right. :)

      Are you me?! Also just migrated to Mint, and I’m really impressed. Good level of polish, and stuff just works out of the box.

      Currently still have it on dual boot, I’ll give it a week or two and I don’t need Windows in that time I’ll move it to my main M2 SSD and ditch M$

        I tried it from a USB drive first and when I saw how easy it is I just took the leap and fully switched.

        My biggest worry was gaming but even there was no problem at all

          Same story! The improvements in the gaming sphere really need to be experienced to be believed. But okay, Steam works great, we know that.

          What about stuff that requires EA’s launcher through Steam? Works.

          EA exclusive stuff? Heroic Launcher. Works.

          GoG? Heroic Launcher.

          Ahh, but old disc games that Windows decided to just stop caring about anymore? Bottles. (Not 100% guarantee, but I’ve been IMPRESSED at how easy it was to get something like Sims 1 to play.)

          Hotel? Trivago.

          Now I just hope the Monado project can make some leaps so we can get WMR devices working on Linux. VR is super neat and I don’t wanna leave it behind completely. :( (Still grudging against M$ so hard for that.)
