Good morning With recent changes to the Windows platform I've decided to make the swap to Linux. While it's not the first time I've tried it out I'm hoping to find the transition easier this time. I'm giving Mint a go and will try and make this my main OS. I will keep windows as a dual boot option for now just in case I have to do a task that I haven't learned how to do with Linux.

So far I've managed to get steam running and tested a game I'd play to confirm it was working.

I suspect the biggest challenge will be terminal.

If anyone has any feedback or suggestions I'm open to them. Heck even funny moments when you first started. I still find when Linus nuked his setup very funny.

At this day and age, it's easy to avoid dealing with terminal entirely, even with the more advanced use case like system backup & restore.

The only basic task I can think of that requires terminal would be auto-removing obsolete packages like older kernels.

There are niche use cases that require terminal, but you probably won't get into that anytime soon.
