Linux at home

Still not sure about switching to Linux Mint?

Video is a bit sensational. Pretty common fault with YouTube videos, where creators use a highly exaggerated intro to get views.

Linux is growing but is still only about 5% against Windows 70%.

I have a couple of older laptops that don't support Windows 11, so may have a look at trying Mint on one of them.

Hello,

I have also an older laptop that was not fit for win 11.
I have installed open suse tumbleweed on it.

I switched an old Windows 7 (yes seven) laptop to Linux Mint a few weeks ago. Works like a charm. The look and feel is very Windows-like.
Not that I were afraid of using a text console - used to be the bread and butter tool many years ago - but a nice feature for newcomers to Linux.
