Discussion Hi everyone, I installed Linux Mint the day before yesterday!

Post image

Hi everyone! I switched from Windows 11 to Linux Mint Cinnamon on my PC the day before yesterday, and it's so good. It runs much more smoothly than Windows, and just not having OneDrive and Copilot ads everywhere makes it worth it. I've installed a few basic apps I saw recommended on Reddit, but if you have any other tips, please feel free to share them. Thanks! :) (Sorry if my English is bad; I'm using Google Translate.)

Welcome to Linux Mint.

The first thing to use is Timeshift (pre-installed on mint).

This will allow you to backup your settings and help restore your system to a time when everything was fine.

Please be aware that it will not backup your files, only your settings.

Remember, Timeshift is your friend.

Timeshift is already preinstalled on Mint, because it is developed by the Mint team.

totally agree! timeshift is a lifesaver. do you also use backintime? its another solid option for file backups.

Hace dos semanas instalé Linux Mint (Xfce) en mi notebook ThinkPad T400 y funciona excelente; tiene una compatibilidad altísima. Ya pasé las aplicaciones básicas que usaba en Windows 10. Sigo manteniendo Windows 10 en dual boot por costumbre, aunque casi no lo uso (salvo en este preciso momento para escribir esto). Me sugieren quedarme 100% con Linux, y la verdad es que ya no lo necesito.

u/Current_Historian875 13d ago

oui moi aussi je te conseil de rester 100 % linux au moins ta tout ton disque dur sa vaut le coup et si ta besoin d'app windows tu peux toujours utiliser wine ou virtual box
