voidsignalwhat are you waiting for?
ALoafOfBreadIt’s really easy. Linux Mint. Bootable USB. Back up your important files on a separate harddrive. Plug in USB. Reboot. Install. Port old files over. Good as new
Step 1: install Linux Mint Step 2: everything works Step 3: profit
The ??? step is only for Window’s nonsense
BananaIsABerryHow to use HDR in Mint?
HuudaHarkitenI thought about it for years. Then I did the switch and wished I’d done it years earlier.
Then I thought about switching from Ubuntu to something else for years. Then I switched to Debian and wished I’d had done that from the beginning.
I suck with computers, I have no idea what I’m doing 90% of the time, plus I’m dumb as hell in general but I still managed to do the swap with zero issues. Its easier and more straightforward than what people say. Just do it.
SchiffsmädchenjungeDo it! It’s easy; Linux mint is soooooo easy
CatoblepasI’m a computer dumbass and I managed to install Mint by plugging in a USB and clicking “next” until I had a new OS installed. Maybe something else would be marginally more suited to me, but Mint does everything I want: games, internet, and office software are all I need.
coolfissionMint is now easier to install than Windows. With Windows you have to create a microsoft account or run commands in order to skip that step (assuming you didn’t use rufus skip account/tpm check when flashing the image)
My advice is to switch each of your programs to the open source version one by one before you switch to a new operating system. It lowers the barrier since there’s less new stuff to learn at any given point of the process. Also, linux-for-windows subsystem if you’re on windows – then go to mint instead of Ubuntu. If your on apple, learn the terminal there, then go to Ubuntu.
