10 Things to do after a fresh install of Linux Mint Cinnamon

Nemo Refresh Action
*** I forgot to mention in the video, in order for this refresh to work, you must have xdotool installed.
Open a terminal and type the following
apt install xdotool
That should allow the following action to show up. Sorry for the omission **

After more than one year of Linux Mint and I'm very pleased, I thought, you would not bring so much information, but I was wrong.

Your video is very informative and clear! No irrelevant and irritating background music or 'clever' editing, but also very pedagogical.

I like many others, I stopped distro hopping, when I tried Linux Mint. Most of the keyboards shortcuts i have used for many years since the DRDOS days still works and was one of the many reasons, why I had chosen Linux Mint - Debian and Ubuntu.

Regarding file renaming, the old F2 still works fine.

That media info tab tip is brilliant! Thank you! 👍🏻😎

Great job! This is really useful for everyone. I'm new to Linux, and I love it!

This is exactly what I was looking for. Was finally successful in installing Mint on an older MacBook Air for testing that I had laying around. I come from Apple side but do own a Windows for certain programs but excited to see what I can do with Linux.

Excellent! Refresh button and media-nemo! Thanks for the upload. Had to install the package xdotool for the refresh button 😃👍

tks for the vid. couple things. 1, customizing the time date is really easy, set the slider to custom time and date then search time date syntax linux, usually shows quickly and you can totally customize time date format; 2. set monitor to always on then use the turn monitor off applet to shut the monitor off as needed. tks again, good tips. really liked the vid info hacks and setting the refresh by clicking on background.

Very nicely done! This from someone who is going to try out Mint in a virtual environment under Windows-10.

I've seen a lot of recommendations to just use Timeshift to backup only system files and then use a different program to backup personal data which can provide more options. Great tips. I took some screenshots as notes.

I plan on installing Mint soon, so all this was very informative. Thanks!

(Regarding 13m55s into video...) If you want Nemo to open in List view when you open as root, you should also change the preferred setting in a Nemo window that is opened as root. It's a per-account setting, and root is a different account.

[alansegura]

On Nemo file manager you also have the "make link" and "refresh" actions as keyboard shortcuts. I think that is easier and faster than the right click context menu.

nice video thank you. just put it on my old dell i5 4th gen laptop runs a treat.

[fbushphone]

Really cool tips especially the media info and refresh action thank you for sharing

[Rood]

13:58 it opens in folder view because you changed it for your user, but not the root user. You need to go in while opened as root and make the same change as you did earlier.

[ToddSauve]

Thank you for this! These are all very intelligent things for a new user to do with their fresh install. 👌👌😉😉
