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.
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.
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.
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.
Taking my new (to me) ThinkPad 450 out for its first stroll. Using it while waiting for the car to be serviced. #linuxmint, #firefox, #emacs, all working like a charm. Keyboard and touchpad are almost perfect, battery life is super long. Screen is a little dim but hey. For under $100US I'm not complaining. This is exactly why I got it and set it up with linux, etc. Oh, also doing some journaling with #orgmode and it seems to be syncing to my home computer with #syncthing. Just about perfect!
I love the fact that when people referring to #Linux distros hear “it just works out of the box” the first thing they think of is #LinuxMint. Say what you will, but this is a huge win for Linux as a whole, because that’s how you bring people over to our side.
I finally got around to installing Linux Mint on the old 2016 HP laptop that was my son's when he was 12 (he's now 20). It runs beautifully. My first time using Linux Mint and it is beautiful. This is my first step in abandoning Windows--so far, I can say it won't be missed.
Spent the day installing #Mint#XFce to an old Acer #laptop of my sister in law's brother (I've converted everyone to #Linux in the family). Acer's firmware was very buggy, so it took tricks to load grub.
Installed them a few apps, and they will be super happy with their new (old) laptop. Previously, #Windows 10 was dying on that laptop, it was that slow, as it was swapping furiously! Mint loaded in about 1 minute, which is good (considering the very slow hdd).
I'm not a "Linux Guy" really but I started re-evaluating it lately, and I think it might not just be for the Tech Weirdos anymore. It can absolutely be a daily driver for a lot of game developers now!
Ich nutze #LinuxMint#LMDE6
Gestern hat mein Laptop nicht mehr reagiert.
Nun startet er nicht mehr.
Fehlermeldung end Kernel panic not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown block (0,0)
Matrix certrainly has its rough edges, but I find it awesome that pretty much every major Linux community now has their dedicated space. All federated, of course.
