I just removeding can’t with windows anymore. I’d preach about it but I imagine you’ve heard it all. I have minimal computer expertise.
I use my PC mainly for streaming, downloading torrent files who’s copyright you don’t need to worry about, and light gaming. Usually just messing with New Vegas mods.
If someone knows of a good YouTube channel or guide or something written for andelder millennial caveman I would be grateful.
Edit: after having been recommended mint OS and giving it a quick Google, I got this! I haven’t removeded with anything linux scince the early aughts. And holy removed has that come a ways. Guess I remembered back and got a little intimidated. Mint is downloading now. As a small f.u. I booted up edge to do it. Ty you beautiful people!
Since you chose Linux Mint—good choice btw—something to keep in mind is that Mint is based on Ubuntu. While you’re learning and searching the interwebs for how to do x, y, and z, if you don’t find an article or guide specifically about Mint, try searching the same phrase replacing “mint” with “ubuntu.” There’s far more content out there about Ubuntu than Mint, but since Mint is based on Ubuntu, 9 times out of 10 the same solution on an Ubuntu forum works in Mint.
Good luck!
Ty, great advice
It’s often useful to specify the version though. The current version of Linux Mint is 21.3 Virginia and based on Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish, where the first part, Jammy, is the codename of the Ubuntu release. So “Mint 21.3”, “Mint Virginia”, “Ubuntu 22.04”, “Ubuntu Jammy” or even “Debian Bookworm” should be helpful when querying a search engine.
As I’m German and the German Ubuntu-Community has a really good unofficial Wiki which is really helpful for setting things up or just rummage around, I can’t say much about the English pendants for Mint or Ubuntu.
