Moving from Windows to Linux involves changing your operating system.
Moving from Windows to Linux involves changing your operating system.
I changed my setup from Windows to Linux Mint. It works great for me. Everyone thought terminal would be tough, but I’m still curious about what they mean. It can get challenging sometimes, but setting up programs is simple. I’m running Linux Mint 22.1 with Cinnamon DE. I initially disliked Cinnamon but found ways to tweak it. My main changes were making everything visible and switching to a red theme. I also tried Fedora 42, but it didn’t work after rebooting—no online fixes available. So I went with Linux Mint instead. That choice was definitely better. I need some guidance on enabling VSync. I only found the option for OpenGL, but I have an NVIDIA GPU and drivers. Games like Marvel Rivals run smoothly. I encountered a DirectX 12 error, so I switched to using the gaming drivers. Any issues? I’ve been dual-booting with Windows too. Marvel Rivals sometimes has strange problems after about 35 minutes—my camera and movement become choppy. That’s why I still prefer Windows.
I often question this too since the 50+ users I've created aren't familiar with Terminal. Installing Linux on a USB drive for setup, if the ISO is from a Linux machine, just right-click it and select "Make bootable USB stick" – that's usually the fourth option listed. It seems so simple.
I understand. It's straightforward to follow these instructions.
