Linux Mint 19 For Windows Users

I recently installed Linux Mint 19 32-bit on an old Toshiba Satellite laptop, single-core Celeron CPU. I had Windows 10 on it and it never worked right. I put a full 4GB RAM and 120GB SSD and still a dog. Linux 19 runs clean and stable. FAST too. No problems at all. The old girl runs like a young-un now.

👍

It would be awesome if Chris did another video like this one but with the new Linux Mint Debian edition.

I tried installing mint 20 but literally as soon as the desktop opens my trackpad(mouse) won’t register, so I can’t click on the install icon
Any fix

I have a desktop PC which has 32 bit architecture, so I decided to upgrade it, with a new motherboard and cpu etc, I have two hdd's in it, one with Linux Mint 19.3 and the other with Zorin 15.1, the boot menu starts up with the recognised distros, unfortunately neither hard drives will boot on the new motherboard, I thought 32 bit operating systems would play on a 64 bit system, but apparently not, it's driving me nuts, trying to figure out why not.

You are the godfather of computers

The special advantage of Linux Mint is that the Mint developers created the window manager - Cinnamon - which tries very hard to look & behave like MS-Windows, making it very easy for users to switch between MS-Windows and Linux Mint. Now, many linuxes (Ubuntu, Zorin, Arch, etc.) offer Cinnamon.

why not just use windows when you are used to it? linux is not for everyone and requires maintainance

you lovely excellent man i have a complaint. you talked about installing this I believe on the assumption that whoever was listening had only one hard drive. I'm not being a smartass, it was scary to hear about any other os just being wiped off my computer and that's what it sounded like. i needed to cross reference YOU, of all people

sometimes Linux mint 21 lack with Intel processor . Intel is optimized for windows. Ubuntu is better. I like windows or Mac for daily life.

He’s good wild today , I guess it was the minty!

Nothing like a minty!

I'm a total newbie to this IS as Ive just recently ininstalled this os for a friend pc who didn't have Wimdows etc . I'm very impressed by the OS , and this bsolutely fantasic video has shone me moor benafits. Thank you.

2022/1/9 and still enjoying mint 19. never will return to windows.

This video was super helpful and made the process pretty straight forward. Well done.

Linux Mint is great

hey sir
I am new on Linux
where I can chose the partition

Drives on the desktop makes me think of Workbench. First GUI on a computer of my own.

Is it good for gaming experience

Sir how to install wifi and Bluetooth adapter...my mint os doesn't show any wifi network names

Looks like you run windows with GNU apps😂😂😂

Great fan of ur videos. Any chance we can see dual boot Chrome OS installation on Windows? 🤔

Hello! I need you to know that I'll be using your voice to learn British accent and about computers as well 😁
So, I'll be playing all of your videos on repeat even at night 😎

Very helpful - thank you.

This got recommended to me just when I needed it. I installed mint a few days ago and this seems helpful

How to open exe file

I'm legally blind, and from what I've seen in this video, the "windows" resemble the ones in windows 10, which are bloody hard for me to see the control buttons in. There also doesn't appear to be any border around these windows. Is there a way to make the borders thick, with a colour, and a way to have the title bars, at top of window be a particular colour, with coloured control buttons? Also, I'd love to see a demo of this operating system's accessibility features, beyond the text scaling you showed. In particular, I'm interested to know if there's a proper screen magnifying feature. Reason I'm asking, is in 2025, when Windows 10 looses support, I'll be forced to dump Win10 from all studio machines, and go to Linux, only, as I can't afford to update the hardware to TPM 2.0, for Win11. Thanks for the video.

I have Sylvia (Mint 18.3 xfce), and I really don't see the major differences. A little more compare and contrast would be appreciated. Like how does the distro perform finding drivers when installing on a machine that had Windows with no remnants left behind. As always, thanks for the videos.

Wow, thank u so much for this, fixing to switch to Linux and had settled on zorin, now here u come into my recommendation with Linux mint, I think I like this better.

Thank you! I haven't played around with Linux for something like, 15 years, and I've been wanting to try it out again. Came across this video and learned about Mint and I'm installing it now on an old Acer Aspire lappy.

Etcher is corrupting the flash drive when it is flashing. Is this normal or a faulty drive?

what is meant by the term volume? is there a windows equivalent?

I m using mint but not able to get laptop speaker working

I installed the latest version of Linux mint on my new HP laptop but It doesn't have the wireless option under network settings, it only gives me a wired option, I connected my laptop to the internet via ethernet cable and I tried to download some software and wireless drives but it wouldn't download some of the software and wireless drives any suggestions that could help.
Update I installed ubuntu and it gave me the wireless option so now I am using ubuntu instead.

Thank You SIr. 4this content!

Zorin is mind blowing

Just installed Linux Mint in dual boot with windows 10 today and I am pleasantly surprised how good it is. So I'm going to keep it and experiment a lot more. Can I install Ubuntu and or Mate as an upgrade Chris? Really enjoy your vids buddy, thanks.

I'm trying to download cinnimum from the linux mint site but nothing will download. My google browser address bar says Not secure. Is that why nothing will download? How do I get around that? (In Michigan)

I'm having problem in mint while using zoom. Whenever I try to talk, the other end users only hear a crackling noise. I'm just a newbie, and can't figure my way out of this. Unfortunately, this is keeping me away from using this beautiful distro. Any help?

Excellent video...used it today to install Mint on my ASUS netbook...thank you for a very informative video.

This guy introduced me to Linux Mint with this video and made me want to try Linux again, few months later and Im using Debian for everything except gaming and video editing. My favourite tech channel!
