Nice video! Also this is much better than AI voice-over.

I'll be using my system as a server so other computers on my network can remote. In this case do i need the firewall turned off for it to work?

You have a better voice than that bot you were using. Before you start making a video, make every thing bigger. We can't see anything lol.

Can MINT "Snapshot" save and restore to an external USB drive instead of just a Partition on your MINT drive?
Can your MINT drive snapshots create and restore from another installed internal drive on your computer?
I realize you would have to have any external drive connected and running at the time of any Snapshot creations or restores. An additional Internal drive other than your Linux MINT drive, would be the best place to keep your MINT "snapshots" .... if it is permitted!

Daily snapshots on mint is excessive IMO.
Mint is not a bleeding edge distro, its not like an update will kill your system like what might happen on arch, if you are the type that tweaks config files, you would normally make backups as just a precaution.
Weekly timeshots are fine.

How about zooming in so we can actually see and read what the hell you're doing.

Believe it or not, adjusting the resolution on one's phone via the YouTube application or even the desktop site doesn't do. Jack crab to help us read the text on your screen depending on which window you have pulled up.

Five things to do on Windows after install: 1) Nothing. 2) You start working on whatever you have to do.
Five things to do on OS X after install: 1) Nothing. 2) You start enjoying having a computer. :-)
