I recently purchased a new Windows 11 desktop with the intention of creating a partition of the hard drive and installing Linux Mint. My goal is for Linux Mint to be my "daily driver".
I have watched more YouTube videos on the subject than I care to admit, but here are the two I found most helpful.
I do not plan to go hard core open source.
As many applications can be ran through the browser, I downloaded Microsoft Edge and Firefox on both operating systems and setup browser favorites which sync between Windows and Mint.
I plan to use Office 365/Google Suite through the browser for my email and office products. Although to save my sanity, I will definitely pop back into the Windows side and use the native Excel app if I have to do some serious Excel data manipulation.
I also plan to work my way through this course: Linux Operating Systme: Crash Course for Beginners
That is all for now...reboot -p
I obtained an old Windows laptop from my daughter. It was her gaming laptop, so I thought it had potential
It was running incredibly slow and was shutting down for my daughter for no reason. I am excited to see whal I can do with it...to play...to get my nerd on.
I decided to install Ubuntu and to make a video of me doing so.
