Sorry about the terrible webcam stutters - still getting to the bottom of it - was really random. 🙃

This is one of the most informative "what-to-do after the install" videos I've seen, thank you!

Very useful video - thanks for the software recommendations. More such recommendations in future videos, would be greatly appreciated.

A year later and still very relevant! Thanks man, just installed this distro on an outdated MacBook Pro, works like a charm, glad you've mentioned TimeShift, will use that after the first installs of applications. Thumbs up! 👍🏼

Mint to me is like blue jeans and tee- shirt just great every day wear for getting stuff done. Looks good enough and very practical. I personally find Mint great for running my Property Maintenace business .

WOW! Thanks for a video that is full of very useful information.

Super duper helpful mate, I just installed mint and didn't knew that there was so much that I could do Thanks

A staunch Windows user, I dabbled with Arch for a minute just to get a feel of Linux at its most basic form, but I Mint is so great and clean and nice, I've been using it more and more over Windows every day. I cant wait until Im fully converted.

Best KZfaq recommendation of the month. Thanks for the video

I found this video comfortably informative. Cheers.

One of the first things I do is enable the firewall...

im going to install mint now based on your video thank you was really great !

I don't like windows so i scrubbed my ssd and installed the latest mint..I have no regrets and mint works great.Thanks for the tutorial.

I like your vibe man. I found your video looking for theme ideas in 20.3. I haven't moved to 21 yet because they don't have an edge release. Not sure if that matters or not. Good stuff!

Thanks. This was packed full of useful things.

Soothing voice, fantastic content. You are awesome❤

I just switched to the Cinnamenu on your recommendations. Thanks for that suggestion. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the video, some really good ideas and suggestions there.

Mr. Infinitely, you are great source of info, you are wonderful, Sir... ty

Thanks for sharing knowledge and making it easier for newcomers :)

The 'update gear cog is in Mint 20.3 as well, looking at it right now. Great Video.

Love timeshift...saved my bacon so many times when I was setting up my Mint 19.3

They are doing gods work with improvement on timeshift... Also on the gaming front I would recommend mangohud and gooverlay

Good job on the video. Thanks!

fantastic video, thank you so much

When I was new on Mint, I happened to let Timeshift eat up all drive space and it resulted in a dead distro. Good that they sorted that one out. 👌

Thank you bro very useful tips I love Linux mint easy and simple and gives very good gaming experience and performance ❤

Thank you so much, very useful video you have here................

thanks i'm running 21 on a ol imac , i love itt thanks

As a new linux user thanks for tutorial

Thanks for that video! Had to reinstall Linux because i messed something up but know i know how to snapshot. It's really amazing how my 10th gen i3 8gb Laptop performs now. It even runs indy games decently alongside not getting a seizure during boot.

Great video. How do you setup wonderworld? I can download the wallpaper but it doesn't install as a wallpaper.

Thank you so much!!!!

just upgraded from 19.3 tricia,, scared to do it but did fresh install and backed up my docs on nas. my precious mint was always crashing. have used linux os for last 5 years. still a command line noob but thank god for linux mint forums! a bunch of tech nerds there and are humble af!

Subbed for the polite first 30 seconds.

I’m learning :D

I love Linux Mint and it has been my primary operating system for at least the past decade. Anyway, upgrading from within 20.3 to 21 I ran into an issue with my torrent program saying permission denied in regards to the files I had already downloaded on external hard drives. Also I noticed that copying files via USB (3) is now exceedingly slow. Not sure why that would be, everything was working fine before. I typically don't have any problems. But now I guess I'm going to just try and do a fresh install of 21 and see if the file transfer speed issue is fixed as I imagine my others will be as well. I hope I don't run into any other regrets. Something felt a little softer when using 21. Will be considering reinstalling 20.3.

I`m using the latest mint cinnamon and I love it It does everything i need to do and works great even got my NVIDIA 3060 working perfectly does 4 k no problem

Many thanks

linux mont 21 was the only one that handled my nvidia crd properly. My installed Pop! OS nvidia version decided unilaterly that it no longer wanted to provide correct resolution, after initially working, so it was not a hardware issue. Interesting take but not one I as a user could get behind. After removing Pop! and installing mint and choosing the nvidia driver in driver manager, it works like a charm. Lesson learned: choose what works, experimental is not the same as good.

ulauncher for the win!! I love that app.

Thank you muchly. My youtube wasnt working until i changed the kernel.

thank you bro

Linux Mint fan and user here

very usefull 👌

Could you please tell how to enable the "Hibernate" option in Linux Mint? That would be of great help.

I dug out an old Lenovo laptop and followed your excellent video, it helped me through a scary proceedure. So far I am really enjoying Linux Mint and it has given new life to my laptop which is 10 years old but now runs like a youngster. Is there a way of adding Facebook, an app maybe? Many thanks Cobber

Me like the update manager, and the software app.

Very informative. Thank you.

Good video. Teal is a better green for mint. The first thing installed is Cinnamenu < Should be the deafult menu in mint imho.

Hello Galactic, I have 2 pcs around here with Linux for my use at home: my first pc has Intel Core2Quad Q6600 2.4Ghz - 4cores - 4 threads - 8MB L2 Cache / 4GB Ram DDR3 1066Mhz Dual Side Band / ASUSTeK P5G41T-M LX V2 / XFX Pine 1GB AMD Cedar Radeon HD 7350 Series - PCIe x16 slot - ati-radeon driver / SSD 60GB / with Linux Lite 6.2 LTS XFCE - Linux Lite 6.2 LTS - base Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish) / Kernel: 5.15.0-69 (this system is lighter than Mint 21 XFCE) ; and the second PC comes with Intel Pentium D 3.3Ghz - 1 core - 2 threads - 4MB L2 Cache / 4GB Ram DDR2 800Mhz / Board 9265BL7 of one Lenovo ThinKCentre A55 / nVidia G72 - GeForce 7300 GS 256MB - PCIe x16 slot - driver nouveau / HD Sata Seagate 160GB ST3160815AS / with Linux Mint 21.1 LTS Vera - XFCE 4.16.0 - base Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS ( Jammy Jellyfish ) / Kernel: 5.15.0-69 and it flows very well here.. Successor for YU !!

new mint layout look so cool...how the keep inspired by windows environment but keep better and better....

Thanks. Can you recommend AV for Linux that prevents infections? I need it for a pensioner who clicks random links.

My update to Mint 21 went OK, apart from Bluetooth now not working, though I had Blueman installed before and no problem with my Bluetooth previously. I gather this is a general problem with this update -- won't work with adapters. It's annoying. Any chance an upgrade will fix it?

How do you enable the touch screen and bamboo pen on a surface pro? I'm trying to switch from windows and I'm not sure what to do.

Hi InfinitelyGalactic, I used Ubuntu 22.04 for a while and the Wi-Fi didn't work for the first days but after installing some drivers like Broadcom it worked hard. I have an HP Pavilion Notebook Core i3 5th gen with 6GB RAM and it's 6yrs old. So in Linux Mint the Wi-Fi isn't working since it's based on Ubuntu is there any tip/solution you can suggest please?

Should we be wary with the kernel update? I am not sure if beginners like us should just blindly update kernel. Also is updating the mirror site safe? Like there's no chance we'll get malicious sources?

Dude, never thought you were from STRAYA!! Anyways, I also choose AARNET lol because i'm based off of WestStrayaa

I just wish cinnamon would support Wayland for trackpad, fractional scaling and better multi monitor support. I really like it

Do you have something to preview images like in windows? I don't know how to activate or software to download for that...

Pomodoro, thank you!!

A little feedback for you: I watched your video on how to Upgrade from Linux Mint 20.3 to Linux Mint 21. The process failed 3x using the "carefully designed" upgrade tool .... the process just stalled with no error messages or what the issue was. I finally got the upgrade to go and finish. Upon restarting to Mint 21, my monitor settings were WAY off! 200 % zoom and the wrong resolution selected. After I go that all straightened out, everything reverted back the the wrong settings after the first restart. To add to that, Nemo will not display Thumbnails for video files any more. The computer will not respond to my mouse after a while, and that requires a restart of Cinnamon ... that throws all of the display settings back into chaos again. I am running a very common machine: a Dell XPS Desktop .... I have to think that the development team for Vanessa did not "test drive" their end product before releasing it. I was having no issues with Mint 20.3. Very disappointing.

thanks

Is there a 2023 update out yet? Thanks for taking the time.

Unty mix it’s safe for use ? Thank you

Thank you. How to have a window open to a larger size with cinnamon?

Hi. Very informative. Can add MINT with Vanessa Distro

@InfinitelyGalactic which Distro is your daily driver?

Holy fucking shit, I can’t believe I’ve bashed my head against the Windows wall for so long and overlooked Linux. This is what a desktop OS should be.

what program do u use for playing blue ray movies and dvds...

Thanks for the review, mint has been my daily driver for years. Unfortunately I don't agree with Flatpaks as they are huge compared to native debs, flatpaks also don't update very well with them leaving various updates behind therefore bloating your system to the point of literally choking at boot if run out of space. They need to address this issue with a simple GUI to clean up and remove cached updates in both flatpak and apt. Will be waiting for the easy upgrade option from 20.3 to 21. Keep up the great work.

Hi, I'm new to Linux. Build my own pc recently and have dual boot windows and linux. Now all software for my hardware is installed on windows. Do I need to do the same in Linux? Thanks.

hi i use on screen keyboard an i would like it to be the same as the one on login screen nice and dark.. transparent.. how do i achieve that?

Is flatpak when using dark theme the flatpak is not dark issue fixed?

Would you recommend Mint for new Linux users switching from Windows, or maybe Zorin? Interesting vid Btw, subbed!

i have some issue with gaames and have no idea hot to fix it when i open up a game like minecraft it runs at 10-15 fps while on windows it ran at 90-100 fps

Just a small thing - when clicking somewhere - explain it and do it slower, so new users can catch up and understand what you're doing. Overall, great content!

Hi Blaine, how about showing how to migrate all your files from the Windows environment to the Linux environment. This might (?) be simple for those who know Linux but if you are new to Linux this isn’t a given.

An even easier way to install steam: open a terminal and type: 'sudo apt install steam' then hit enter.

I have been using Linux for years now both Manjaro, Mint. In recent months however, First in Manjaro then in Mint v21 There has been a change in the kernel which has completely broken network connections to other machines, Linux, Windows and even my NAS. I was using hardwired mounts in the fstab file which worked very well. It stopped working a few months ago with Manjaro and now also in Mint 21. I have looked on many occasions for a solution to this and have seen a few different suggestions and none work. Samba has been broken for years and is not an option. So I have had to stay with Mint 20.3 as it works fine. It will be supported until 2025. So for anyone needing network connections to other shares, this is a problem. So, with all the reviews of Linux new distros no one is talking about the elephant in the room, broken network connections. To many users this problem makes Linux unuseable moving forward. Hopefully someone will figure out a reliable workaround and not 6 pages of edits to multiple config files. We need an app that allows you to find and auto mount your network shares that is useable for all users. I hate windows but... the networking works well.

I can't seem to be able to use, sudo systemd-resolve --flush-caches.. when trying to install systemd resolve.. I get, sudo: systemd-resolve: command not found.

Hello I'm a newbie to Linux Mint. I'm desperately trying to activate the scroll function associated to the central wheel mouse button. But not only for one single application (Chrome or Firefox or whatever) but for all the apps, just like in windows. Please help me... There are probably thousands and thousands of people needing the same...
