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.

Several people are here telling you you won't ever need terminal. They are lying to you. You will need to use it, often. Even for simple things like installing software. Because that's often how it's distributed.

And even when there is a graphical option, they will give you terminal commands anyway, because that's just the way things are done on Linux.
