I’m sure I would notice more issues or hiccups if I daily drove my laptop. It’s just my secondary device right now, but I’m also testing/learning linux for when I switch my main desktop over.
I just recently switched to mint, and so far it’s been great. I will say though, I find it pretty ridiculous how many hoops I had to jump through just to get my second drive to mount on boot and for programs to maintain write permissions to it. Which is a situation that a lot of non tech savvy will deal with when switching, especially gamers.
No, I did see some tutorials on using that, but they said that any mistake could result in crashes and having an ubootable pc… so I didn’t want to risk it.
Looking up guides on how to install wine can vary. Some say, “sudo apt install wine” and others have you install the 32 and 64bit versions. My machine is 64 bit, but some guides tell you to enable 32bit....
What wine would go well with *new user learning linux, learning terminal commands, guides have different answers, not sure what to do, anxiety is creeping in *
I actually don’t think I need to use wine anymore. I was trying to use it to get some music vsts, but I think I can do that through different means. But now I realize that it didn’t work in mint because I installed the wrong one from the software store
Update 1: Thanks for all the responses! I’ve gotten a lot of very good comments saying I should stick with Mint, and that’s sitting comfortably in my top two picks right now. Between new distros, I’m most interested in Arch’s rolling release model, as it provides some benefits for me for reasons I didn’t really get...
I was running a live version from my USB, and all I was trying to do was install wine… i first tried the built in software store but that didn’t work. Then I tried installing through command line and that didn’t work. I tried several different times and zilch. The first time I loaded up ubuntu I got wine working without a problem. Idk. But I’m glad it works for you.
I’m glad you had a better experience than I did. The past two nights, I was messing around with a live version of mint and had nothing but problems. The programs I installed from the software manager didn’t work and I couldn’t even get wine to work. I followed the instructions on mints site and wine kept having installation errors. I’m going back to ubuntu as I didn’t have these problems with that distro. Glad you’re up and running though!
Hi, I ran into a problem with reaper taking over my audio driver and I’m not able to play YouTube, or any other music, while reaper is open. I didn’t have this problem in windows because I had the aiso4all driver. But doing some searching, I’m not sure that driver will work on linux. Do you have any insight as to how to fix this?
