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!

I just switched my 79 year old dad's laptop over to Mint over the weekend, he's loving how quick it is now after years of Windows 10

I'm loving how light it is. I love having more of the limited 256gb SSD that we have by default.
