Thinking of using Linux mint, anything else?

I've been thinking about mint for some time

now THATS the spirit!

nice logo

lemm.ee fans RISE UP!!!

I would but I don't really have any headphones, but I have some I definitely would, it's a cheaper version of airpods

look I'm not THAT into linux

What the hell happened, now everything is a TLC knockoff

fun fact: my first experience of Linux was actually in Ubuntu (in a emulator ofc), and yes Im thinking of using mint

whoa, actual good info! Thank you kind stranger, i will use this!!!

I would but I am pretty worried about my files being lost, plus I'm waiting until I get a better device

my use case is mostly contained of playing games and and a slight bit of actual work, not triple a tho

but maybe one day...

pretty cool that there's whole instances about stuff like Star Trek, really cool!

thats sounds nice, I'll test it with my Chromebook first (after upgrading my specs ofc)

I'm actually thinking of dualboot on windows, gonna mess around to a VM!

yep

heard it works best with nividia's gpu's, I have an AMD GPU on a decent laptop, is that good enough?

sorry for being out of the loop but what does defederating do? why is it so controversial?!

update: currently testing mini cinnamon on a VM at the moment

Looks pretty good, tho I haven't really gotten in the setup yet (really close tho!)

:0

sh.itjust.works is the best name for a instance

I personally prefer using Lemm.ee, mostly because it's the instance I started off with, but the problem with that instance is that it's dry lol

wait, lemmy instance can have custom ui's?!?

I'll take note

can you duel boot with a modren laptop tho, and can the drive be external

speaking of Linux, I was supposed to upgrade to Linux when I got my new laptop, but forgot about it, sorry!

no

Personally I am pretty bias towards lemm.ee, mostly because it's the instance I joined when starting out. I mostly do all because i personally don't prefer using local communities. Don't really care about federation, just like using lemmy either way

I agree, I wish lemm.ee was update to date smh, I'll think about making an account there

I did make a VM for Ubuntu a few years back, it was fine

TELL ME ASAP, I'll try to find the specs of my laptop, PLEASE TELL ME

guess I'm booting up my VM again!!

oh yeah, url only

what happened?

I'll add that to my VM list!

LMDE Mint cinnamon plain old mint Pop OS Ubuntu

Planning to finally boot up my VM after procrastinating, anything else?

noted!!

I'm currently using typing on said vm? pretty cool right?

will take note, but what would happen if I did?

well I did watch a video about desktop environment, I believe it was a tierlist video tho
