Linux Mint - Tumblr Posts
Дорогие Linux-любознательные люди: если кто-то советует вам попробовать Arch, скажите им, чтобы они пошли на хер. Arch для людей, которые любят все настраивать.
Попробуйте Linux Mint: Сделано с учетом удобства использования. Основан на Ubuntu/Debian, поэтому даже технические моменты проще. Имеет три варианта с различными средами рабочего стола, соответствующими мощности вашего компьютера. Дружественная пользовательская база. Имеет установщик драйверов. Все работает из коробки.
Dear Linux Curious people: If someone tells you to try Arch, tell them to fuck off. Arch is for people who like to configure everything. Try Linux Mint:
Made with out of the box usability in mind.
Based on Ubuntu/Debian so even the technical things are easier.
Has three flavours with different desktop environments to match your computer's power.
Friendly userbase.
Has a Driver installer.
Everything works out the box.

Если прерывается звук на Минт
sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade
И перезагрузить.
--------------------------------
Сведения о командах обновления:
sudo apt update (список пакетов),
sudo apt dist-upgrade (средне опасная, добавляет зависимости если надо, а старые зависимости не удаляет),
sudo apt upgrade (безопасная, но и бесполезная, не трогает зависимости),
sudo apt full-upgrade (опасная, может заменить Ядро и старые зависимости, применять только в случае серьёзных проблем, ибо после замены ядра система может вообще не загрузиться).
MusicPod
Разница между LollyPop и ним, выше качество звучания, есть рабочие подкасты и на русском. Можно добавить стрим радиостанции и будет работать.
+ Обложку альбома, как видите, можно более крупно.
That's a wonderful way to begin your Linux journey!

Thinking about trying Linux mint in a virtual machine…
Linux gains a user!
this is so surreal~~
No reblog this time cause I thought that it was too long at this point
are you telling me I've been installing linux on this computer wrong this entire time??
WE BACK ON LINUX BABY~~!!
all I had to do on install was just......
make grub boot from dev/sda1 instead of dev/sda
dev/sdb was the hard drive all of my data was stored on and if I didn't touch that, nothing would happen.
the cool thing here is that mounting the device here is password protected to actually mount and view the data. as opposed to windows having it mounted at all times.
this was simpler than I thought it was and now I feel really stupid...
Linux mint debian edition 6 lets go~~~~~~!!
I'm so excited~~!! come to find out that I've been installing the grub boot loader in the wrong place this entire time.....
*happy screaming*
now idk if I'm smarter than I think or dumber than I think. cause it could be both....
I didn't need to tinker with the bios at all~~ tho I am curious as to what it looks like now. maybe the windows boot loader isn't there anymore and is just the linux one?
Even though windows 10/11 says it can run on 4GB of ram, it's terrible to try to use. (sorry @windows11-official)
@linuxmint-official is a great starter distro and I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the system
so, i've been using linux for less than a day, and honestly? i'm never going back to windows.
everything is so smooth! my gifs and videos load without any lagging or buffering! i can multitask and code while having a youtube video or anime on in the background! the people in my phone show up on the top right as discord notifications and it's so fun! everything runs as it should, and using my laptop is fun again. i used to have a lot of anxiety with windows as my previous laptop blue screen 4 separate times. so having everything smooth is a blessing.
even typing this now, it's not lagging. on windows the words would come up a few seconds after you hit the keys. here they're acting as they should! and i haven't tried steam yet but i hope that's a fun experience too.
for my low end 4GB ram laptop i definitely think this was needed. i'm kinda bonking my head over not doing it sooner. but i'm here now and i'm never going back. i'm now swearing loyalty to linux it seems. (but dw, i won't annoy people about switching.)
currently i'm running linux mint mate, but if i feel like i can get even more ram, i'll switch to xfce. for now mate is meeting all my standards and requirements
Good choice!

i got a new laptop for college!
hmm, something's not quite right though...
ahh, much better!
Yeah!
@ubuntu-official @linuxmint-official
i think people should try a little Linux, just for something different yknow
doesn’t have to be any specific “beginner-friendly” distro or whatever, could just be WSL even . just gives you a different perspective on OSs :)
like if you’re sick of Windows/MacOS and are frustrated that you need to keep upgrading your hardware to run the newest versions, why not experience something else and download VirtualBox n try out a Linux distro for a bit, see if you like it,, I think you might be surprised by some of em :)
i still use Windows 10 for my desktop, mainly for gaming and art etc, but i switched over to Linux Mint on my laptop a while ago and have used it for school, and it’s been running better than when it had Windows on it. does what i need it to do, and using the terminal to do stuff feels fun and kinda powerful with how easy it is to install stuff with it :)
was there troubleshooting involved? yes, but it was often fixed by just looking up your problem and finding answers on stackexchange or linux forums, not too different from troubleshooting windows tbh lol
i’ve also recently got a mini pc to use as a little server for stuff, like discord bots. even tho the specs are a little on the lower side, it’s still able to run stuff pretty well since I installed Xubuntu on it, which is specifically designed to be quite light on system resources, and it’s been great too :)
anyways point is,, try out Linux in some form, why not :) if you have an old laptop/desktop sitting around, try reviving it by installing a lightweight linux distro on it! the less e-waste the better :3
Wait... @manjaro-official and @ubuntu-official are twins!
They have different a basis than each other, but still are twins.
Try to be user-friendly but aren't as user-friendly as they should be
2 package systems (that like to conflict)
strange behavior
instead of these, most people recommend...
Wait... @linuxmint-official and @endeavouros-official are twins!
(rant continues as imagined)
(also not sure if it's Mint or Pop! OS that fits better here)
Nice splatoon theme! You might want to get it a matching icon pack tho
@mint-offical ( @linuxmint-official ) on a @lenovo-real thinkpad is always nice.
Pretty sure there's no active xfce blog rn (@/xfce seems dormant)
@monaddecepticon
tumblr dash is suspiciously full of Linux posts... They Do Know..
Terrifying.
Bonus points for Librewolf
Don't leave procrastination on your desktop.

I felt that addressing some of these points would be good for newcomers, especially those who are interested in/have installed Mint.
@mirqmarq428's impressions and opinions shouldn't be considered invalid. As someone who started using Linux around that time, things were significantly less intuitive and/or user friendly across the board.
While Cinnamon is very reminiscent of Windows 7/10, the welcome screen and documentation encourage the user to customize. I do agree, however, that using an unfamiliar DE is a really good idea for new Linux users. The fun thing about Mint is that you don't have to stay on Cinnamon (or even XFCE/Mate). It's a good platform to experiment and learn.
Snaps are disabled, though it's possible to enable them in Mint (instructions are even in the documentation). Ubuntu does not offer Flatpak support by default, and previously required official flavors to drop support.
Release cycle- Mint is based on the latest LTS of Ubuntu (and on the latest version of Debian for LMDE). It's entirely possible to install more recent versions of packages via flatpak and debs without touching the terminal. Mint's Update Manager can also install newer kernels in a few clicks. If you have cutting edge hardware, there's always the Cinnamon-Edge edition.
Mint also has an update manager that can send reminders, though this can be disabled.
In the end, it's important to use what you enjoy. Despite my concerns regarding Snap, I've been running the same Kubuntu install on my desktop for almost a year now. A handful of the programs I use were either Distrobox'd or built manually. Mint has been just as capable in the times I've used it.
Replying to @fzf
I have no strong personal feelings about mint. It happened to be a good first distro for me, and i like the colors. My disrecommendation of it comes in bullet points:
Mint is touted as a "windows-like environment" on account of the Cinnamon desktop. However, Cinnamon and windows 10 have deceptively little in common beyond the general layout - iv said this before and I'll say it again: don't give people a knockoff of what they're used to, give them something new to learn.
Mint disables, disallows, discourages, and distrusts snap packages. While iv seen a huge amount of hate for these, and the technology had a rough start, they're not any more of a pain than flatpak (and way better than appimages, yikes). In fact, removing them from what was otherwise an Ubuntu system causes more problems than it fixes - for months last year it was a pain to run Chromium on mint because the Deb was broken and snaps were disabled (iirc - might be misremembering. either way the snap war is not a good cause imo)
Release speed - when i got started with Mint in march of 2020, I downloaded mint 19.04 cause that was the version on the website. Mint 19.04 is based on Ubuntu 18.04 which had a 4.18 kernel. Everyone else in 2020 had a 5.2 kernel at least. There is a balance between stable and up-to-date, and Ubuntu has mastered it. Mint, by necessity, lags behind Ubuntu. Heck, there's even the time the mint devs had to beg users to update because of a security issue, and found that most users had never bothered updating!
Ubuntu (gnome) is different from both macos but windows interface in obvious ways that encourage a paradigm shift in desktop usage.
Snap packages are extremely meh, but they ain't here to steal ur freedums (yet).
Ubuntu has the second best software compatibility of any Linux (best is Arch), and a lot of pkgbuilds in the AUR are just extracting debs from Ubuntu ppas anyway so it's really close. Ubuntu tells you to update and makes it easy with the popup which you can close or banish.
So yeah. Mint is just slightly worse Ubuntu

Me, right after installing Arch the “Arch Way”: yeah
