Sorry about the terrible webcam stutters – still getting to the bottom of it – was really random. 🙃
WOW! Thanks for a video that is full of very useful information.
does Linux mint have bleeding edge iso?
They are doing gods work with improvement on timeshift…
Also on the gaming front I would recommend mangohud and gooverlay
Ah yes, 10 things to do after installing a fresh new distro… and then abandoning it until another update or new distro comes along. 🤣
MOST OF THESE can be applied to LMDE 5 too— right????
Since you like flatpak and fedora, have you considered making a video about Fedora Silverblue? I use it as a daily driver and I love it, so I think more people being introduced to it would be very beneficial to the project!
I think it's about time for Linux Mint to have a proper app launcher preinstalled and fully configured for the system. It'll make many people that would prefer Pop!_OS style to be comfortable with Mint.
When I was new on Mint, I happened to let Timeshift eat up all drive space and it resulted in a dead distro. Good that they sorted that one out. 👌
As I have noticed, flatpaks only make sense on LTS kinda distros, the ones that doesn't rolling nor are bleeding edge so this way you can have up-to-date apps without worrying yourself about possible crashes and instabilities like dependencies missing (because the distro is too old) or the infamous dependency hell.
Maui shell and elementary os 7 videos will be cool
I was thinking about trying it but I don't like the idea of having automatic updates.
Can you play League of Legends on this version of Linux ?
how is it that in 2022, linux can look like windows xp lolol
5:20 Why did Wi-Fi get disconnected?
Hi Blaine, how about showing how to migrate all your files from the Windows environment to the Linux environment. This might (?) be simple for those who know Linux but if you are new to Linux this isn’t a given.
One of the first things I do is enable the firewall…
You left out an important thing. How to get 4k at 60hz on Mint. I'll just ask then. How do you get 4k at 60hz on Mint?

10 things to do on [insert recently released distribution] after install
idk what Linux mint has, but I always have stuttering sound issues in it. 🙁 wasn't always the case, but after Linux mint 19, I've been having those issues. I love linux mint, but yea
Thanks for the review, mint has been my daily driver for years. Unfortunately I don't agree with Flatpaks as they are huge compared to native debs, flatpaks also don't update very well with them leaving various updates behind therefore bloating your system to the point of literally choking at boot if run out of space. They need to address this issue with a simple GUI to clean up and remove cached updates in both flatpak and apt. Will be waiting for the easy upgrade option from 20.3 to 21. Keep up the great work.
From the video driver it's offering, I bet your card is an nVidia GeForce GT 530.
Very useful video – thanks for the software recommendations. More such recommendations in future videos, would be greatly appreciated.
i used linux mint for months, its good, it just need the ui to be refreshed
ty! i'm planning to switch from arch to mint
Blueman won’t pair with my Logitech mx mouse.
The 'update gear cog is in Mint 20.3 as well, looking at it right now. Great Video.
one of the "10 things to do" (that is not already obvious on the welcome screen) is create Microsoft One Note web app. seriously? If the first thing that pops into your head is One Note then just stick with Windows. The cloud storage is notable though, so I'll give you that. 1/10
4:47 to 4:59 except, someone show me proof if I'm wrong here, the Mac os Time backup program might actually be restoring whole system images ..vs Timeshift in Linux mint just restores your PC only to the extent of a bootable state and isn't designed as a FULL system (as in including multiple drives worth of data) image solution)
So DONT completely rely on Timeshift.
Copy and paste aka manually back up your media files, saved game files and folders, screenshots of programs' settings .etc i to a separate drive AND on another separate drive target it with your Foxclone system image backups or clones
4:57 to 5:15 yes this was a long over due evolutionary change in hoe Timeshift works…default OOTB.
Regardless I STILL recommend you target a separate drive for your Timeshift snapshot backups.
Why?
What if that main LM-installed drive fails? Can't restore to another drive from the Timeshift backup from the failed drive to a GOOD drive. Good luck with that.
10:08 to 10:21 what is the point of using a web app? I never understood this
#11 – Wipe entire drive and install something not pilfered and rebranded by a bunch of whiny babies that can't even create their own distro yet set out to criticize every one else's. Unless you're a noob looking for a distro run by noobs.
it took me nearly 30 minutes to download and update firefox on linux mint 21. Is there any way to fix this error? Thank you!
You managed to miss something as essential "Enabling firewall" 🧐
Meanwhile, you push Web Apps 😂😂😂
Hi. Very informative. Can add MINT with Vanessa Distro
