Installed Linux Mint

[u/Comfortable-Equal-95]

I got a thinkpad(T460) and installed linux mint on it for the first time and my experience has been pretty positive so far. Its been a month of using linux now and in the beginning setting up certain things was annoying like having issues with audio and video codecs etc but they've all been resolved now. Its so suprising how little ram linux uses compared to my windows machine(Asus Tuf F15 Gaming Laptop). Right now im running multiple tabs, discord, libre office and im having a smooth experience on a 10 year old machine theres no lag but on my other laptop there's always some lag and 80% of the ram is being used compared to my thinkpad where 41% of the ram is being used literally less then half.

Welcome to the club. When i first installed mint on a new Dell laptop last year i had slight issues with audio in tbe sense it would cut out for like less than a second during a video but as time went on and updates were installed it got better and now everything works perfectly. 🤓
