i just came across your channel in regards to learning Linux Mint. Please do not take what i say lightly. I have searched hundreds of Linux mint tutorials on RUclips and this series is by FAR the single best! The creator goes slow, takes his time explaining everything so that us beginners don't get overwhelmed. I wish this series was a 100 part series it is that good!
I recently installed Mint on my old laptop and I was very surprised how easy and fun Mint was to use! Everything worked out from the box, even the webcam! I did try some other Linux distros years ago and those were painful experiences. Nothing worked. No wifi, no mouse etc. These videos are very well made and detailed, helpful! So now I have W10, MacOS and Linux Mint on my household.
As a new Linux user installing programs from the 'Software Manager' is very straightforward and not the problem when it comes to installing new applications. The real problems begin for new Linux Users when it comes to installing programs that aren't contained in the 'Software Manager', for instance, I've been trying to install an older version of 'GIMP', (it's GIMP 2.8, to be exact), but it's been 'mission impossible' so far.
Such an awesome review of the Software Manager. Really great channel. Glad I found your channel, because I'm binge-watching this Beginner's Guide. Very helpful.
These videos have been a real big help to me being a Linux noob, anyway I guess what you are saying are the flatpak versions are the beta versions and you take your chance.
Installed Steam through the software manager in Mint 91.3. For anyone wondering Steam will then prompt you for a security check as it see's you on a new computer. Even though in my case (dual boot off bios) it's the same machine different os. Not all of your games will be available, at least Cities Skylines was ;).
I love Linux Mint and use it daily, but there is one thing I wish it had like Windows, and that is when I plug is a USB plug to use Arduino it would be nice to get a pop-up on the screen to tell me the port I am using, but I don't know how to set it up? Love your channel very helpful thanks Bob in the UK
I could use some more slightly complicated examples - for example "wine" - in reading the reviews it says to go to the web site and download the latest version for mint 21 - then there are Installation notes discussing "apt keys ? What are these keys? Is there some sort of registry (like windows)
I installed linux mint and had a voice repeat every key strok and mouse move in two languages and could not turn it off how do I that and what program is it in?
Nice video for someone like me who want to jump to linux. However, something that wasn't explained it's how to change where most of the software will install, (personalized document, partition, hard drive and all) i am completely lost.
If a program required certain additional downloads, and you downloaded them, of course. Later, if you decide to delete the downloaded program, do the additional downloads that you agreed to download become deleted as well?
How to undo the failed/corrupted of downloaded and half installed software on terminal?? I can see in the hard drive there's a folder of corresponding software and some of its files.. but the software won't run.. What I want is to revert back everything to a previous state, but how?? Please help
I have accidentally deleted an account connection app on my linux mint 17, for acer aspire & and now when login i see a black screen with my cursor. Any help appreciated??

Everything you install through the Mint Software Manager will receive updates through the Update Manager as soon as they become available. So unlike in Windows, there's no need to manually update every program you installed - everything gets updated through the Update Manager. Of course, if you manually install a package by downloading it from some website, you can only get automatic updates if the program itself has such a feature, like Firefox for example. Generally it's a good idea to use the Software Manager to install stuff, so you don't have to worry about updates.
Hello I'm a new Linux user I have watched countless of introduction to Linux none of you guys talk about the bugs and when an application doesn't work how to fix it or if the application it has not came out yet to actually work IE (wine) don't work with Limux mint 20.1 my steam doesn't work doesn't work my Kodi doesn't work what no video to show you how to fix those things
It's a great video thank you , Cool so i need a little help or updating I'm a 3d print hobbyist Arduino is my base. Marlin software IDE is my chosen program ,Delta style printer. ok So mac when to 64 bit so i'm not able to use my mac. Linking libraries and compiling with linux is completely new for me. Installing the most update arduino system is also daunting . Asking for help Please or suggestion on where to find help
Hi i'm running windows 10 because i mostly use my computer for CyberLink PowerDVD to play my Bluray movies. Is Linux good with Bluray movies or will my PowerDVD software still work with Linux.
Good question. A quick Google search showed me Blu ray playing isn't as straight-forward with Linux, I'm afraid, but I found this, maybe it will be helpful: www.howtogeek.com/240487/how-to-play-dvds-and-blu-rays-on-linux/

I couldn't agree more with Kenneth. I was a little hesitate to try Linux but your videos have eliminated my fears about learning Linux. Great Job.
Not to forget, he really has a great voice and extremely pleasant way of speaking!

This is so informative & helpful, I will be re running your videos over & over because I am a slow learner. Thank you so much.

Sorry to hear all your games weren't available. Can't say I've run across that problem. :/
Authentication is required to install software, "Enter a command" ? -Saw this, thank you, it was that simple.

If a program required certain additional downloads, and you downloaded them, of course. Later, if you decide to delete the downloaded program, do the additional downloads that you agreed to download become deleted as well?
what about the added software . does it remove that also when removing the main program you installed
How to undo the failed/corrupted of downloaded and half installed software on terminal??

Made me wonder.. How to check and apply for updates for the software installed? (i'm looking for an alternative to sudo apt-get update)
refresh your update manager
