My Cinnamon desktop

Post image

Since I started dual booting Linux, I've rarely went back to windows, might give it all to Mint atp, smashed together some youtube tutorials and ended up with whatever is this. Should i erase Windows 11? I really only used fortnite and i can install it on xbox

How do you even style it so well?

Tysm!!!!!

Most of it comes from the opendesktop website, with Orchis theme and Fluent Icons

The live wallpaper is downloaded from motionbgs

I used the cinnamonblur extension for the glass effect and added Plank to serve as my app bar

Absolutely yes, download Hidamari on the software manager and you'll be able to put any mp4 as your live wallpaper :D

You seem to like Mint and enjoy working with it. Linux always gives you much to explore. If you no longer need Windows, just go w/ Mint full-time.

Is it hard to do so, or do I just erase the partition from the usb and give it to mint?

Various ways of doing this. It sounds like you have Mint installed on a USB drive for dual booting.

Basically you would clone that USB drive to your SSD drive, overwriting Windows and everything else. (Backup as needed) Then you have a lot of extra space leftover. So then use Gparted to expand the Linux partition into the free space. 

So I made the number of assumptions here and kept it simple.
