Super well done video. I'm impressed. I just bought a cheap HP 14TQ1003C to convert to Linux. I've been putting off wiping out Win 11 with Linux but I get lost in all the mumble jumbo. I've done it to two other laptops but usually something comes up that wasn't covered in the dozens of other tutorials I've watched, so I basically experiment until it works. I hate the stress it creates. I did notice that you said nothing about partitioning when installing. Everyone else ALWAYS sets up partitions. What should I do? I'm not a computer geek but have been messing with OS's since DOS. I think I get especially confused with simpler and simpler operating systems. LOL I'm going to have this video running while updating my laptop. Be healthy, stay safe and many blessings, Morgan

Thank you for this video. It's been about three years in the making but I finally fucked Windows off and after much deliberation and thought, I finally moved to Linux Mint. Your video made installation painless. Thank you for that. If you make any more videos about Linux Mint that might help me in future, useful features, commands that are crucial to know, how to streamline for games or great software packages that you recommend, it would be much appreciated.

Today I got a big message to switch to windows 11, been loyal to windows since forever but so done with them. Thanks for the video, trying to learn what the switch will be like.

Never ask what could go wrong ? Doing so and it will go wrong. LOL!

Having some issues with LM 21.2 Victoria. Loaded Audacity 2.4.2 and can't record sound from audio tracks on my computer or any Websites without tons of background noise. On occasion, Software Manager, Firefox and other programs won't start properly. They seem to crash almost immediately after clicking on them. Now my girlfriend's laptop is crashing. Try to restart it, but it just freezes up.

[boringboringboringboring]

What kind of desktop environment is used into this Linux Mint 21.2 "Victoria?

[stoven]

can you help me? ive tried to fix this many times. my wifi will disconnect usually within less than a minute of it connecting making it impossible to do anything. and it will ask for the wifi password sometimes even though its filled already. what makes it even worse is my internet speed is unfathomably low, like 200kbps! when i used ethernet it made it 1mbps.
