1:10 no...ya don't have to open your terminal do update your Linux Mint system. There is a shield looking icon towards the far right of the panel that does the same thing and it's a GUI deal ( which basic and intermediate winturd of users will more appreciate dealing with seeing as hie Linux beginners, chance are, might not be friendly with a console or cmd prompt looking deal.)
I ran linux mint 20.3 cinammon in a virtual box, when i install tlp it gets an error. Is that because I am only uisng a virual environment and this one doesn't have a battery?
Just a heads up, and maybe a small gripe of mine, but you no longer need to issue 'apt-get' although it still works. Now, it's just 'sudo apt install.'
@@SkillsBuildTraining Thank you. I successfully got my entire Mint partition encrypted in a dual boot config (same disk) with a bitlockered Windows 10 on my laptop.
Yes but dual booting Linux and winturd from the same drive presents a rabbit hole of possible problems.. One of which is inevitable that a windows update can measure something involving the Linux booting partition. You're safer just installing the Linux distro into a separate drive AND while the windows drive is completely disconnected.
I have a problem. After installing linux mint in my laptop touchpad is not working. I tried with touchpad settings but nothing happened. What should I do ? Do you have a solution ? Please help me 😑
Yes...because you remembered to post your laptops make and model info...-_- We can't read your mind dude. It's not rocket science..details . You also didn't specify which Linux distro and desktop you were running.
2:08 to 2:20 ...NOT needed if you had sense to enough to check the GUI box during your Linux mint installation wizard that said " I stall third party codecs"
@@skelebro9999 just did a check and canterbury is no longer the fastest for me, there is a new kid on the block that is faster, so l guess it pays to check your mirrors periodically
1:34 to 1:44 sudo apt-get update as well as sudo apt update will NOT update your system in and of ONLY doing just one of those commands. It actually just LOOKS for available updates given whatever software sources your Ubuntu or debian based distro is already set to look from. you still have to issue another command to tell it to download and install such updates. this is another reason why the beginner Linux user is better off using the GUI to update that way he or she SEES up front when launching it or clicking on the refresh button what is available and knows it isn't just auto downloaded and installed yet. Clarity..ya need to work on understanding Linux commands better
Mint has a nice gui that the creator of this video didn't really utilize very well, although he had demonstrated basic Linux command line commands rather well.
1. That market share number couldn't be more inaccurate than if creepy pedo joe Biden said it so. The actual number is really more like 9 percent. And ya DONT have a be a terminal wizard to use Linux This is 2022( and even if it was 2020.. I would still say the same thing)..not 2002. Just because this videos narrator choose to use the terminal to run the update command ( and he was wrong anyways... sudo apt-get update as well as simply sudo apt update DOESN'T download and install updates automatically..it LOOKS for updates to packages that are available via the software sources aka repositories your Linux distro is setup to use OOTB unless you chance them)
Why didn't you use any of the included GUI tools to update or install plugins initially? The repo add tool? The package manager? You're skipping over what makes mint mint smh. This is all so much more complicated that it need to be. What's worse is by the end you end up using some of them! Woooooow
Late replying, but thought I would anyway - totally agree with you. Mint (and all ubuntu derivs) has provided the gui's, the video would have been better running through these.
Why would you tell someone to use the terminal in Linux Mint, it's a distro for people that don't want to use the terminal. If someone's that way inclined they'll find the terminal themselves and they probably don't need to watch this kind of video.
sudo apt-get update or sudo apt update only LOOKS for available packages or package updates ..the video narrator here was wrong in claiming it auto downloads and installs them That's sudo apt install update -yy or something like that..possible sudo apt upgrade -yy you're better off using the GUI update manager so you can more easily see what you're doing BEFORE actually doing it .
lol, oh no! not 15 minutes of popping in commands to get initial setup done. it's not like windows has any of that! on windows you only need to -update after install -install core drivers -update drivers -install graphics drivers -update graphics drivers -restart -uninstall bloatware individually -setup antivirus or defender -setup limited user account -setup permissions -setup startup programs -setup privacy preferences -defrag hdd -restart again and thats only what you pretty much NEED to do. if you skip any of those, then you almost certainly have a worse end user experience than somebody who does. on top of that, if you want office, you have to pay for and then install it. If you have multiple monitors, youll want to buy and install display fusion. and lets not even get started with the abysmal lack of proper networking software default on windows. gotta hunt that down too I have my own personal gripes with certain things about linux, and i totally get that its not for everybody. but if you think this setup is worse than a windows pc, you're delusional. if you're gonna bitch, at least pick something that's actually true. you really dont have to try hard to poke holes in linux distros. all of them have plenty of disadvantages

The xkill shortcut is a nice idea, I was thinking of something like this when an emulated game or something stops responding

Could you remake this video using the GUI tools instead, rather than the Terminal for those who would prefer to use the GUI interfaces?
Thanks for the question Kevin. We'll look into this.

Hi Ryan,
Are you running the virtual box on a desktop or a laptop?
Just a heads up, and maybe a small gripe of mine, but you no longer need to issue 'apt-get' although it still works. Now, it's just 'sudo apt install.'
Thanks for your feedback @callistagraves7815.
Am I missing the terminal commands somewhere that I can just cut and paste?
Thanks. Very useful

If dual booting from a single drive, is it possible to create a partition thats readable & writable to both Linux Mint & Windows 10?

Yes, that should be possible. You can also double-check here: forums.linuxmint.com/

the first thing to do after installing mint is change to local mirrors so everything you do after that is done a lot quicker
Thanks for that comment debeeriz.
nah m8 the local mirrors doesn't work for me
the default mirrors are decent
@@skelebro9999 the default mirrors are thousands of miles away from me in new zealand, my fastest are xnet and canterbury university,

linux market share less than two percent in 2021 and the main reason is most of the time we have to use terminal ,developer should think about it.

your commands don't work

The first thing to do is sell the laptop and buy a MacBook Pro.
At least it has a unix like file structure.... Not that most Mac users would appreciate that.
That's why I do not like Linux. Thanks for reminding me :)
Thanks for your comment Petru.
If people would just not spaz, Linux can be a way better experience than crappy windoze!...lol
lol, oh no! not 15 minutes of popping in commands to get initial setup done. it's not like windows has any of that! on windows you only need to
-update after install
-install core drivers
-update drivers
-install graphics drivers
-update graphics drivers
-restart
-uninstall bloatware individually
-setup antivirus or defender
-setup limited user account
-setup permissions
-setup startup programs
-setup privacy preferences
-defrag hdd
-restart again
and thats only what you pretty much NEED to do. if you skip any of those, then you almost certainly have a worse end user experience than somebody who does.
