I'm putting together a persistent USB installation of Linux Mint for a friend who wants to switch to Linux. It has both a tweaked Cinnamon in it, and an XFce that looks like MacOSX. Lots of apps & games pre-installed too. He'll love it, I'm sure.

Switching people to Linux, one by one.

@eugenialoli nice! I’m on a similar mission. Started with myself. Surface laptop running Mint.
Your usb for Apple users? If so I’d love to know. My father in law -huge Apple fan - is open to the switch.
Downloadable? Or got instructions handy?

@amirbkhan what usb for apple users, what do you mean?

@eugenialoli
I understood you had a usb based mint install. Persistent instead of live version. Sort of like a portable os on a stick.
Thought I’d ask for guidance. Not much experience with macs. That’s it.

@amirbkhan The specific one is installed internally. But yes, I have persistent usb installations of Mint. They're easy to do, you just tell it to install to another usb, but you have to make sure that there's no internal drive connected when you do that, so you force the bootloader to go to the usb stick.
