Hey Chris, recently made the move to Linux. You have been an amazingly useful source for me.

Some issues have had me nearly re-installing windows which you have explained how and why.

Thank you so much for making this course using Linux Mint. I've been a Mint user for the last 5 years.

Might also mention the tool "alien" to convert between .deb and .rpm in case any software you want is only available to download in one package format and you need it in the other.

Where is the cat Titus 👀. You can't just tease me with a cat thumbnail like that 👀. I now would like to see that cat please 👀. Great comprehensive video btw

"The terminal can be scary". Chris is being silly. :p
Don't worry guys, most Linux-users who do use the terminal don't know that much about it either, you learn that little bit fast.

"Games are going to be in an entirely different episode... as there is so much you can do.."

I love updating and installing dependencies and softwares in the Terminal.

[berlinschiadrian]

Excelent idea for a video. I would love to expand my terminal knowledge. Something like " how i use grep/find" and maybe touch on awk, extra options in man etc.

But keep up the work.

Really like your channel, happens I am working on my Mint on Mint kvm right now

You made me stay in Linux and love it.Specially the wine videos.

Chris, One thing I have found on Mint is that when you download a software package online that is not in the software repository, and it needs updating. Sometimes Mint will update this package automatically through the update manager without you having to go and re-download the updated version. I have never seen other distributions do this and I don't know the parameters in which Mint needs for this to work, only that I have seen programs self update without me having to go search for them. Definitely good as it takes some of the hassle out of updating.

Chris, you have tried almost all the distributions. and your videos, personally i find, are very much organized and informative. I like linux but sometime i do hesitate to try newly coming distros like ubuntudde, elementary os etc etc because of my fear there could be sensitive data stealing from my pc. what is your view on this? dont hate my comment and i am just concerned about my data.

*Chris ...another great video thanks 👍....but could you make another one showing how to UPGRADE installed packages 👍*

[penrite]

Your thumb nail pic suggest. That that's the only action you've got in a while.... heheheh Jokin mate. Good work

Mint is my Fav! Easy to use. Installed all I needed, Zoom, Whatsapp, VirtualBox for Android OS to get some Google play store

[angelrivera]

I was really considering installing LMDE only for myself as it seems a bit advance but I might as well install it for my family also as it seems more stable. Plus it can be setup to not use the terminal for them. I was considering LM Mate version or Xfce at first for my family's laptops, LMDE seems like a viable option.

You should also do some videos on recovery of Mint from problems users may encounter (broken packages, DE won't load etc.) and backing up data with Mint.

Honestly, finally got GOG 2.0 to integrate my twich library. So your gaming video may get me to change

[BrunoPelegriniSilva]

Hi! I only knew your video about linux mobile, now this video really, really helped. You're very easy to learn from, I'm a linux starter, running Mint 20 now... Thanks! Keep up the good work! PS: do you know any good way to have OneNote working on linux? Not the P3X solution, I need the regular way, to embed video and take notes... Thanks!

[piercemooney]

Great! I love how this is a Canonical-proof alternative version. Makes me feel like a legit Linux user.
