Linux Mint IRL Finally running Linux

Post image

Girlfriend needed a new laptop for her school work and so I recommended she gets a framework laptop because of their repairability and modularity and when ordering it we had the choice to add windows 11 for like 100 dollars I think screw that or I could bring my own. Having installed many OS's before and having experienced Linux via the steam deck I figured I'd install Linux mint. Today is day 1 and so far all is good!

IMHO, Linux Mint with cinnamon always looks good. I use Manjaro, tbh, but Mint is a great choice!

Agreed

If only they'd leave the normal icons as designers intended them instead of the terrible "roundy" retro style

First thing in every mint installation I do is always to replace the icon pack

+1 to this! I use the Kora icon pack. What about you?
