SomeOrdinaryGamer just gave one of the best 1st-time Linux tutorial videos I’ve seen in quite some time. The fact he did so with an audience of 3.7 million subscribers is even more incredible.
Great video, and while I’m not necessarily a huge fan of Mint, it’s still a great starting out point for newbies. Definitely a good video to pass along to any potential/prospective Linux users so they can learn the ropes of things.
I been using linux since I was 12, so that’s 19 years ago. Crazy to think it’s been that long. Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron was my first distro.
Ok I did. 👍
Funny to me that this comes out just a month after my one year anniversary of having ditched Windows. Mint is what got me into Linux, even though I quickly out-grew it. Definitely gonna save this and send it to anyone that needs a good, in depth explanation of how to get into Linux and a demonstration of how easy it is.
Hmm-- now that I think about it, it’s also been a year since I started using Linux full time! i3wm is soo good, once you get used to it you can never go back
I ditched windows when 7 hit EOL for the first time. I went with ubuntu for a bit (18.04), but didn’t really like the idea of snaps, so for my most recent update I switched to mint and have been happy. Also the default environment for ubuntu gets more clunky to use with each iteration.
Would ditch Windows but games reliant on anti-cheats still keep me on the OS.
