  • Does this mean I won’t be able to use the letter ‘x’ anymore because a multi-billion dollar company has trademarked it:

    • Two people fighting will now be boing.
    • When I want to bake some bread I will mi the ingredients together.
    • When I want to leave a building I will eit it.
    • I will now look up to the stars at night to see the magnificent epance of the Milkyway galay.







  • Yeah, okay, I am a little bit techy, but so far I haven’t had to employ any of my limited techy abilities in Linux Mint. I didn’t even notice I was using it more, it just happened over a few months that I was finding there was no need to go back to Windows. To load programs on Linux Mint I just google “How to load program X on Linux”, and there will be a page saying, type “sudo apt install <program_name>” in Terminal and it always works and I’m done. (I’m a beginner programmer who was told to try Linux for the Unix stuff) .

    If you’re a gamer, I would look up any discussion of gaming in Linux - that would be my only proviso.


  • I wouldn’t say I’m that techy and I recently jumped over to Linux Mint from Windows because it has the C-compiler gcc pre-installed and it’s UNIX seems to be a better experience for programming. It was easy to install, I find I’m going back to Windows less and less. I used to use Photoshop a lot, now I’m just using Krita. I’m lovin it so far. Only games are a problem maybe, although the game I play has a linux version, I just can’t be bothered loading yet.

    Linux Mint is supposed to be the easy for-the-layman Linux distro and that’s been my experience so far - everything has worked, no issues.
