1 month of Linux Mint
Finally joined the club! I recently managed to snag a used ThinkPad for an absolute steal, and instead of sticking with Windows, I decided to take the plunge and flash Linux Mint on it. This is my very first time using Linux as my daily driver, and I am completely blown away.
The installation was incredibly smooth, the system is blazing fast, and customizing the desktop environment to look and feel exactly how I want has been an absolute blast.
Since I'm still pretty new to the Linux ecosystem, I want to make sure I'm getting the most out of this machine and the OS. To all the Mint veterans and long-time Linux users out there: what is your number one piece of advice for a beginner?
Whether it's essential terminal commands, cool customization tools, for ThinkPads, or just general philosophy on how to not break my system—I’d love to hear it.
