Hello, I am a noob linux user...First steps on Linux Mint 20 exactly...So great that I've just found your channel. After watching a bunch of linux videos on YT i really can tell: To me without a doubt, your channel, along with ExplainingComputers, are the best at teaching in a simple and direct way tips on linux... NO blah, blah, blah, you just get straight to the point, simple as it is...Tx so much. I give you props for the great work you're doing...Cheers from Brazil.
I built a new box and added a dual boot of Win10/Mint 20.1 in early February. I just wiped an old laptop clean of Win7 and made it run solo on Mint. Mint is an awesome distro, having crossed over from the MS world and your video is invaluable to users. Thank you for the outstanding tutorial and I will look for more coming from you. Yes, I have subscribed to your channel.
This has been a life saver for me over the past two weeks that have been learning to use Mint. The cursor and icon and them download part was really useful. That's tricky!
Thank you for putting a breakdown at the beggining of the video. Really helped to skip around and know exactly what content was there. Keep up the good stuff sir!
good video i like the fact you explain things crystal clear and slow so people can actually follow you and see what your doing as i have watched many videos of other people and they just zoom around with the mouse so fast you cant actually see what they are doing thanks keep it up.
I owe you some money because I have used your video as a handy organized guide of what to do right after installation on my client's machines. Thank you so much and thank you for being so patient and thorough. You make linux easy!
Thinking in upgrading 18.04 to 20.04 here and not sure if going with Ubuntu or Mint, thank you very much your content always tackles a number of great features all the time, thank you again as always, and stay safe!
At first I thought by following your instructions I crash it. It was me... sorry. I fix the problem and decided to watch again and see if the problem came back and ir it didn't. Thank you so much 😊
Thank you so much, I switched to Linux because of you. First I had a dual boot, then I deleted windows and I'm only running mint because i love it so much
Given English is probably not your main language, I am impressed with how easily I could follow everything you said. A very clear and useful video, I even didn't mind the words from your sponsor!
Thank you very much. I followed your instructions and could successfully aproximately around 18 of your recommendations. For the remaining 7 items, I am happy with the default settings. All very useful. Especially the last one Ubuntu Cleaner. Thanks again
I bough a cheap laptop a couple years ago and it always had a ton of problems, so I deleted everything on the hard drive and replaced Windows with Linux Mint. I tried using Ubuntu when I was in college, so I'm somewhat familiar with the system. I appreciate all the tips. Thanks.
Just came across your channel cause I was looking for an tutorial where I can set up my Virtual Box properly to install Win 10 in Virtual Box. Now I was wathcing this video and I am really interesting to get my first experience with Linux. I am a hardcore Win 10 user and I am using MacOS for my work but it never came to my mind to try Linux. It was something unreachable for me due to less time and limited knowledge in this field. Maybe this will be the beginning and you inspired me to do so. Tomorrow I will try to install Mint on VirtualBox and will share my experience with others. Allready subscribed to your channel. Keep on with your content and keep going on to be an Average Linux User, kind regards from Germany.
Instead of enabling redshift from the menu (remove that, and), install an applet from the applet setting section named qredshift. It does give you a better configuration option for redshift while continuing to work offline.
Hello, your tutorial videos have helped me move smoothly from Windows to Linux Mint. can you please make an instructional video on "How to create a customized icon" and where can I save it? It's very nice sometimes to add a different looking icon (that we have created) for a specific desktop shortcut. Thank you very much
LInux Mint is a fine system - even for a Microsoft Business Central / NAV developer like me. What i need is there: RDP -> Remmina VPN -> native, a little more manual Setup necessary, but straightforward and easy VScode -> native Postman -> native MS Teams -> native, just preview, but works okay MS Edge -> not really necessary, but is there.
I installed Mint 20 on a netbook that has only 3 GB of RAM. It got very unstable with the Swappiness set to 10. Setting at 20 it still got sporadic glitches like app errors and bluetooth dropouts. The best setting for me is Swappiness at 40 and enabling Zswap (with LZ4 compressor) Bottom line: Don't set Swappiness too low on a low memory computer. Enabling Zswap will actually give more of a performance boost.
Thanks for the information , it help a lot. I did have a problem with time shift. Is there another backup program that you can recommend that maybe better? Thanks again 😊
I like your channel but for me being new to Linux Mint 20 and you are a bit quick and it is hard to read your smaller screen can you make it bigger, please?
Hi, Fantastic video for beginners like me, however, if you could confirm that, the Linux Mint was installed on Virtualbox as I was able to see "VBOX_Harddisk" mentioned when you were describing the "Create Backup" part...
One other thing you should add for sound is to install pasystray which is the pulseaudio system try. One of the things it allows you to do is to pick your source so if you use speakers and a headset you can switch between them quickly without having to go into setting.
Hellcat M So that I understand you correctly, are you saying that there are multiple, non-identical distros of LM20 Ulyana Cinnamon that don’t feature the output switcher; or that Mate/Xfce don’t have it; or something else?
Another idea is to install Mainline its a kernel updater and you can uninstall kernels there too. So when you install one, you can delete the oldest one after you tested out the new one to make sure it works well with your system.
Thanks for the video. I just installed Linux Mint 20 as a dual boot on my Dell Insprion i7 and used some of your information. I have one question. What do you think about XFWrite? The text editor that Linux Mint comes with does not wrap long lines of text. So I found XFwrite. I got it by downloading XFe file manager.
Great video. I'm a new user to Linux Mint and I love your video, however, I have a problem with the reduce swap points part, I did everything like you said but my sysctl.comf window came up blank, any reason for that?
I love GNU + Linux operating systems however I am not exactly up to the task of setting them up and creating a comfortable work environment with all the familiar office apps and a whole library of working steam games. So, I gave up on it today unfortunately. I love Gnome Desktop but oh well...
I would recommend installing a program called Mainline which allows you to very easily update to the latest kernel i currently have kernel 5.8.9 on my Linux Mint laptop which makes it run a lot smoother especially since it has a Ryzen CPU.
I have 5.4, my laptop's touchpad didn't worked at first, I spend a whole day trying to fix and now it's working fine... does updating to latest kernal make my touchpad again not working and does it cause any instabilities on the system?
thank u so much sir for this fantastic video you are the master now my linux is perfect only one problem i had that i cant find timesheft in my system i use kde disktop other wise every thing is so so so suburb thank you sir so much im so glad because you are the one how make me love linux . thank u thank u thank u
You missed two 😁: 14A. Take another backup NOW 26. Take ANOTHER backup BEFORE using the system. Personally, I would (have) installed Brave browser. I've become much annoyed with Google/Chrome recently after being a long time fan
Buenos dias, estoy por actualizar mi Linux Mint 19.3 a Ulyana. ¿Existe alguna versión en español de éstas intrucciones ? Me parecen fundamentales. Mil gracias
Thanks for a Great Video and straight to the point approach as always. However, I was wondering if you could help me out with a problem i was having regarding Nvidia graphics cards (Or just do one video with a Graphics card enabled machine). I believe I have the same problems as @Fernando Dantas in one of the previous comments even after installing the recommended 340xx version. I have a GT-720M Nvidia graphics card. I can't even do the 340 version let alone any other upgraded ones like 390 or 440 which is supported on all fermi hardware. I still couldn't seem to figure out why tho. Currently I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 with the recommended 340 driver(Which FYI wont let you run most games on lutris or steam unless you update it to 390 or above). Please recommend any solutions or workarounds Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Most of my work including video editing doesn't benefit from a dedicated graphics card. So, all my hardware have Intel integrated graphics: ruclips.net/video/I6r0c30TOnA/видео.html
I set swappiness to 10 and also did disable some of the startup applications. Later after rebooting there was no output from headphone. After I changed them back as before but with no use. I had to use timeshift to restore the settings.

Hi: Great tour :)
I would recommend that you increase your font size as it is not easy to see with "older" eyes
kind regards
Usually, I do. In this video, I increased the font size for the desktop but I forgot to do that for the terminal.
Yeap. I prefer 12 or 13 across this board
Your explanation is excellent, simple and effective. Any beginner can benefit from this explanation, Thanks
