Trying Mint

[ninja01]

I am trying Mint for the first time, after a very long experience in using Windows from win xp (My best version to date) to win10 (Hopefully my last version).

So I am curious here, who's using Linux?

And what kind of things you can try in Mint?

Thanks for reading))

I am using Mint on my laptop. My experience so far has been generally positive. Graphics stuff worked mostly out of the box. Had to manually install a driver to get some sort of dock/usb hub to work.

The dumb thing to me is hibernation being so hard to enable. You need to manually set up a bunch of stuff from the command-line to get it to work. I've also been having power problems in general, like the screen not coming back on after going to sleep/suspend.

I'm ok with tinkering to get it to work, but it's not the sort of thing I would recommend to a non-technical family member. Still less frustrating than Windows though :)
I really like the Linux filesystem over Windows.
Mounting phones in Linux is bug-free for me, while it's riddled with bugs in Windows.
