Say you’re a beginner, you have watched our previous video and decided to install Linux Mint 21.3, the latest iteration of the very popular Linux distribution, as of the time of recording the video. Now, you’re wondering what to do next. You’re in the right place!
The terminal commands used in the video:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt autoclean
sudo apt clean
sudo apt install
ttf-mscorefonts-installer
I'm considering switching from Windows 10 as my pc doesn't support W11. Your video was very useful as it showed what to do if you encounter a problem. I like this as it shows reality and stops a inexperienced user like me panicking and rejecting the software. Thank you very much.
You're welcome! There's no need to panick! It's very easy to find help nowadays when it comes to Linux! Thanks for your comment!
Was thinking of moving from Windows to mint. Your video has convinced me not to. First thing you tried to do didn't work and you had to use command line workarounds. Linux isn't for me . . .yet.
Just change the sources for your updates. The software sources application should be in the menu. Setting sources to something nearer you may be preferable anyway, but you can try others if they are faster. Any source can have a glitch from time to time, but it doesn't matter because you can choose a different one. One not working doesn't mean the whole distro is broken, just that one source had a problem. Just try another one. I've done it a number of times for the same reason as in the video, and to get faster downloads.
I ran Mint for about 10 years and had very few problems. I suggest trying Mint on a separate drive. That way you can choose which one you want when booting up, try Mint from time to time or run Windows if needed.
Like windows don’t run into issues 😂😂😂
I don’t think anyone should just fully switch, but at the same time Windows is a lot more problematic with installation than any other OS. Like not being able to just install without finding tricks to do without an account user.
I just recently started the transition and I’m really enjoying it. I still have Windows, but mint is very fun to work with it just work.
@@gioriv Glad it's working for you!
If u r not sure try first in virtual machine.
I personally had no issues with mint till now. Eqsy installation everything is gui based no commandline.
Nice.
But if someone new have this bug on update app, he will uninstall system very fast.
true lol. im currently trying to switch from windows to linux so im watching tons of guides. and the first thing i see are bugs like that. missing mouse driver / software, nvidia problems and so on. I am already completely demotivated right now
@KAKUN_DESU Don't get too discouraged. We're going to either have to learn Linux or get used to big tech owning our computers and all the files on them. I've been toying off and on with Linux for some years now and I've always ended up back on windows because it is just easier to keep on with what you already know. But I think this whole Recall crap is finally pushing me over the edge to where I'm ready to say eff windows, instead of dual boot playing with Linux as a second OS, it's time to make that the primary and maybe keep a small windows install for a few games that I can't play on Linux
My screen looks nothing like that pictured.
Mine runs on a 13 year old Toshiba Satellite....... no problems.
Of course! It's Linux Mint! 🙂
What desktop environment did you use?

thanks for the overview and workarounds
Thanks to you!
Great well presented Video. Now I will maybe stop Distro Hopping and get away from Windows 11 more. I am at this stage but after much trial and error, I am running LMDE on a seperate Mini-pc so I don't screw up my work Machine.
Thank you so much! That's a good approach!
Great video! Cheers, Ben
Thank you so much Ben! Cheers!
Great video
Thaaanks!
Beside the fact Linux is basically a Grey Knight level of training for us mortals, i think ot better to be prepared for a thing then not.
I cant display on my tv as 2nd screen (mirror or extend) through hdmi. It works on windows
I haven't had that problem. Install arandr and lxrandr to see if you can get things working with them. They should show up in the menu after being installed. If not, log out, back in, and check again. Good luck.

Thank you so much!
Bravo kralju
Hvala drugar!
It just works (it's not windows)! 😂😂😂
Of course! (Sorry for a late reply!)
Virtual user's talk crap and I'm being nice
In theory... I shouldn't have to use any terminal commands as a new Linux user to install the OS which is new and unfamiliar to us new users. Until I have become more familiar with it. Being a noob...how would one find them? Do I have to crawl all over the internet to find the commands I need? These are things that frustrate new users making the jump to Linux much harder. Remember gang, we are new to this OS. The transition from Windows to Linux should be as sooth as possible or people will go back to what they know and have been using for years.
Thanks for your comment. Exactly, the command line could scare beginners. However, it's not a good idea to hide it, and it's not fair not to say to people that issues may arise.
STOP WITH THE BACKGROUND MUSIC!!!!!! 👿💀💩
No need for shouts! ;-)
What was your point of this video? Get people to switch to Linux or get people to stay on Windows? Showing that the simple thing of just installing the OS renders errors is not the way to get me or other Windows users to switch. I do not believe any of my Windows installations ever got an error. And I have used Windows since 3.11. Erase this video and remake it because you are only hurting Linux!
That's a good question, and thank you for that! We couldn't do a video and hide things from people! The point is that one can switch to Linux easily, and she/he can stumble upon issues in the process. However, they should not be scared by the issues, the issues are not that hard, and it's easy to find help for any problem people might encounter. So, thank you one more time!
I like the video. It's always great to know various work around. Thank you for this video. Definitely keep it up.
@@jschudel777 Thaaanks!
Having just installed Mint on a windows 11 laptop today without difficulty, (with You Tube instruction) I am fine learning the way to correct errors as I have never used Linux previously. If a person is not ready to learn what is needed to deal with a new OS then he or she should stay with whatever they are comfortable. I have used and continue to use windows for decades and Mac since it first came out. I am 81 yrs old and want to continue my education and wish to become familiar with Linux as much as I am able.

I dumped Mint when they dumped KDE (this decision meanwhile being reinforc&confirm-ed by their Ubuntu-dependency&quirks).
Subsequently I halt&cancell-ed my switching from Win8.1Pro to Linux (KDE-Plasma).
Instead, at Win8.1-EOL, contrary to longstanding intentions, I upgraded to Win10Pro (my Hw = Win11-incompatible).
As things look now, when m$oft doesn't reduce Win11-Hw-req's to Win10-levels, I'll switch to MX-Linux (KDE-Plasma) at Win10-EOL, since my Hw will last me just fine much longer & I ain't ever got the budget within my ltd-pension for Hw-upgrade(s) anyhow.

Linux mint is unpolished.
