Almost had me for a second, I thought muta posted a linux video
Dude me too , this is professional Muta😂
@@JoeRiverathis muta is kind of cool!
Funny thing is he actually did recently upload a video about installing linux mint as well 😂
I thought it was him too
Exactly my first thought.
Hello guys and gals, me no Mutahar.
Hutamar. Mutahars twin brother, who hasn't gone insane yet.
Hey guys and gals, me Mutahar2
I ate a mint while watching this.
It was refreshing.
lmao
You were supposed to do the Cinnamon challenge. Also, it's pronounced I "at-ayed" a Linux. :P
> Be me having used Linux for over a decade now
> Still clicks on recommended videos on beginning Linux videos
Keep it up man, seems the algorithm has picked up your video! XD
the algorithm confused him fo muta all he needs to do is make a video about virtual machines and scream a little bit and he'll have it convinced
All he needs to do is add 'wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man' to his delivery we'll never know the difference. I thought it was muta when he takes his medicine.
Would be interesting if this channel gets big enough and he appears on Muta's podcast. lmao
@@TheBenSanders that would be a confusing yet entertaining as hell podcast
Are you mutas lost cousin?
I'd be stoked if that's true 🤣
Used Mint combined with Windows for years and really loved it.
Now that gaming has got much better on Linux, I've ditched Windows and been distrohopping for about a year.
Yeah most balanced distro in the community no haters , it's between evrything till now .
I feel like the only complains I've heard about mint is outdated and insecure/unoptimised kernel. Either that or people calling users noobs. Definitely not a distro with no haters tho. But really, in the end, there's only either distros that have haters, or distros that no one uses.
idk about no haters. I wanted to use it, but between the older kernel and Cinnamon desktop it was not suitable for gaming for me. Fedora solves both problems without much of a usability hit.
IMO Mint is perfect for casual non-gamers, like my dad (who routinely calls me whenever his Windows laptop does something unusual).
@@ordinaryhuman5645 I use Linux Mint for gaming with little to no issues (beside the one's all Distros have). I'll admit I don't buy every game the second it comes out but You can also update your Kernel with a few clicks to be on a later one. I am on 6.5.0-26-generic right now, does 6.8.1 (latest stable) really make a difference?
My elderly parents use Mint 👍
I use mint but I have no children.
My Granma uses Arch. She used a terminal with Unix at her job in the late 1960s. Granmas know more about terminals than most of you Linux terminal users. Terminals are the oldest tech there is.
@@STONE6969Dude, for real? Arch??
@@SB-qm5wg yes for real, just like I said, terminals were widely used back in the 40s 50s 60s 70s and ealy 1980s. Graphical interface was developed to make it easier for the masses to use Computers.
@@STONE6969 True, evolving from the telegraph. If you haven't yet, watch "The Mother of All Demos"-because it demonstrated the revolutionary features of NLS as well as never-before-seen video presentation technologies-Engelbart unveiled NLS in San Francisco on December 9, 1968, to a large audience at the Fall Joint Computer Conference.
This is Calm Mutahar
Keep making these great videos - thank you.
I'm really enjoying your videos. I have started playing with Mint and Debian. Having a lot of fun and learning the ins and outs of security.
MoreExtraordinaryGamers
you're just suddenly pop out but it helped me so much ...for gaming on Linux...I didn't know about the heroic game launcher before ...thank you for the video....hope you make more videos like this...just waiting !!!! :)
Yeah I was having issues with my mic 😣
Sadly, I didn't realize that until I was done recording.
@@AverageNerdTalks ohh..... Can you make more about bottles and wine...I don't know about them fully and do not know how to use them specially install windows .exe files
Actually, on my hardware LMDE 6 is noticeably faster and snappier than the classic Mint 21.3.
Could it be due to the newer kernel at LMDE 6?
I could be wrong but I believe LMDE uses kernel 6.1? The Edge ISO for Mint uses 6.5 so if you tried Mint Edge, then it probably wasn't the kernel. Default Mint uses 5.15 which is terribly old so that could be the reason for performance issues.
In general though, I've found LMDE to be faster than classic Mint. But, I would still be wary of recommending it to new users.
@@AverageNerdTalks yes, I used the 5.15 version Mint.
I'm not a new user, not an experienced. I'm a returning user: about 18 years ago when I was a student, Mandriva Linux was my the only OS for 2 years. When I had to come back to Windows due to work, now I decided to check Linux again.
I have LM 21.3. ON my brand new ultra modern PC I had to change from 5.15 series kernels to 6.1 series (current is 6.1.0-1036-oem) and it all works damn well.... plug and play. ON my prehistoric PC (Pentium) the 5.15 series works well. Using the older kernel on the modern PC, some of the comm's didn't work. I think Linux Mint now has an EDGE download for modern PC's..... I got into this before that was available, which is why I had to manually do the kernel change/upgrade. Both PC's work well and are snappy in response. So, Check your kernel. Upgrade the kernel or re-install using EDGE... whatever feels good. I believe that LMDE 6 uses the 6.1 or 6.5 series kernel.... but I am unsure.
Nice presentation. I use Linux Mint (along with some other distros) but still use Windows to a large extent. Of all the Linux distributions including Ubuntu, I've found Linux Mint to be the most straightforward and user-friendly of them all. A distribution that just works and requires the least amount of maintenance. The developers have done an excellent job in my opinion. I wasn't aware of the Cinnamon (Edge ISO) Edition. I don't have the latest hardware but I like that it contains the latest kernel.
Informative video! I have a laptop running a version of Kubuntu from the KFocus/Tuxedo folks based in Germany. Liked and Subscribed
Mint has been my daily driver for 3.5 years now. I still have to use Windows for work, but for all my daily tasks, surfing and personal computing needs Mint has been my sole driver since late 2020. I cannot see myself ever going back to Windows. I ran primarily Mint off and on for 2 years before that as well, so more or less my primary OS for closer to 5-6 years.
think you're the only channel that has actually told people the truth about Linux mint. there are so many of them out there that compare the old Lennox men to Debian they don't compare it to Linux mint edge, great job!
Using Linux Mint is great experience with linux! Only one downside is old games, instaling and trying to run old games are pain in the ass with linux. Newer and new games are great experience on Linux Mint with Steam and Proton thx to VALVE.
I have a couple of Lenovo educational type laptops. One with a celeron 4020, the other with an AMD chip. The Celeron has windows 11. I have tried MINT and now ZORIN on the AMD. Both make the less powerful AMD seem faster than the Celeron( not that the celeron is fast) Not sure if I should keep ZORIN or go back to MINT.
I have a lot probl. with Flatpack. As an example Discord and the fullowing sound problems i have after.
Normal Installations are no problems.
Everything is great but I am more curious about the recording part. How did you able to record screen while in installation process???🤨
on libre office if you just installed Linux mint edge LibreOffice needs to be updated. that means you need to uninstall it and reinstall the new one so you can keep up with Windows
Thanks for the Showcase! I also recently switched to Linux. I like your Fedora Setup and Cyberpunk was smooth! Hey my friend also had the Ryzen 3600 CPU, he upgraded to a 5700x, HUGE performance gain.
Your Video quality is really good! Would you mind giving us an extra Video about Content Creation on Linux?
And I just heard about Immutable Distros, would be cool if you can showcase one of these, like Fedora Silverblue/Kinoite!
Liked && Subbed!
I will be posting content for beginners to Linux distros. Thanks for the sub! 😃
Would suggest that SSDs are so cheap that disconnecting the MS Windows drive, and installing a fresh SSD to install Mint on would be a fine idea. That way, new users can not hurt the MS Windows drive and have a plan B should they decide to go back to MS Windows. Otherwise a very fine presentation!
Note: If you set it to automatically log in, you will have to type your password whenever you use certain programs. My son switched to Linux mint a little over a year ago, and he hated having to put in his password whenever he wanted to play Minecraft. I've been using various Linux based OSs for about two decades, and I currently use Arch, so it was easy for me to fix; but if you don't want to mess with a password more than necessary, make sure you leave that unchecked.
Thanks for the guide, SomeAverageNerds
Mint is Stable - fast (Xfce) and simple ... thats what i like ! 🙂
I use it - LMDE, no issues at all. Only one thing I miss: fractional scaling per monitor.
Cinnamon can via display settings, enable fractional scaling controls (experimental).
the monitors can be adjusted by using 'Terminal" but that's above my paygrade. YOU would need to be pretty competent / confident in your abilities. There are articles online about altering scaling and general monitor info, using terminal. Too scary for me. But if you are a competent linux terminal user, it would pay you to find stuff on the web about this. Either in Forums for LMDE or just search the web.
@@CTimmerman Hi, thx. I use (experimental) scalling however it does not work correctly but I can live with minor issues (I found 3, maybe 4)
Great job. U mentioned that selecting local mirror is not important, is that right ?
It can help your update speeds if they're too slow, but it's not required.
@@AverageNerdTalks the default mirror was very slow n stopped 2-3 times before completing. After which I looked over net and changed to indian ones, so now I don't know if I have selected the right mirror or not.
@@rohitverma5771 There's no "right" mirror per se. If one of them isn't working for you, try another one and see if it works. Mirrors essentially just hold copies of all linux mint packages so it doesn't technically matter which one you use.
@@AverageNerdTalks thank you very much. Best wishes for your TH-cam career
Mutahar, if he doesn't went clinically insane by spending too much time on the dark side!
Alternate Reality, Sane version of him 😅
By the way nice video! 💯
Hey, I would prefer onlyoffice as office suite as it is more compatible with ms office formats than Libre office
There's nothing stopping you from installing OnlyOffice and uninstalling LibreOffice
It has 0 support for right to left text so I don't see myself using it tho. Libre office is the most compatible for now
@@RenderingUser Libre office is one of the most advanced office suite but for general users only office is pretty fine
@@RationalBeing-rh1zf general users need right to left text support
@@RenderingUser like to write in other languages?
I am stuck in choosing between switching to Linux min and fedora I want to jump into fedora but Red Hat worries me, Still haven't decided which one suits me, heck I might go for Debian if so. I just want to know all of those three use cases and which one is better and why ?
it all about what feel good for you. All of them do pretty much the same. Just you have options, everything is customizable..... Fedora/ Red Hat and Debian/Ubuntu /Linux Mint are all tried and tested. All are mature well backed up O/S's. They cost nothing except a little of your time to install. The O/S's are on the web for you to download for free, and use for free. So start with one... use for a month, download and install another and do the same... etc etc NOTE there is at least a 100 common linux O/S's. Most are free. One or two are paid O/S's.... but they are all good. Your Choice !!! Check reviews of the O/S's you are interested in.
@@colonelfustercluck486 well reason why I am skeptical with ubuntu is how it been behaving as for fedora I have no issues with it but the person who is sponsoring it Red Hat that who worries me .
ayo muta you look a bit different, guess you stopped being insane and switched to mint from arch
As an arch user i approve of this guide.
we need a video about virtual machines
I heard its a good idea to always run windows in a virtual machine.
I don't have a Linux pre installed laptop, that's the issue with me. My hardware isn't fully supported by Linux (to be specific, my sound card, Realtek). That's the reason I have to stay in Windows. Another reason is I've to use Microsoft Office.
I'd be very surprised if your sound card doesn't work with modern Linux based operating systems....
I have been daily driving Linux Mint for 10 years. I only use Windows few times a month in works.
Good video, writing this comment for the youtube algorithm,
Thanks Mutahar :)
we need more content on linux games,,,you can also stream while playing. please talk about play on linux also and the issue of wine
Sounds like a plan 🙂
or "Play on Linux" or using Windows on a Linux Host VM
BTW: The old Windows SPACE CADET is in the Linux Mint repository games section. It really works well....... the person that did that deserves a Nobel Prize. SPACE CADET in Linux, whatever next!!!!
Yo better guide than muta
they're trying to make very different guides tho
Okey I think the expression is "the looks are uncanny" :D
thanks mutahar
also can you show your dotfiles on your actual setup?
Bro is hutamar
deamn didnt think the channel would be so small
can we use adobe and microsoft office in mint? please someone do reply
Nope. Adobe doesn't release their software for any Linux distro. Microsoft office isn't available for Linux distros either.
@@AverageNerdTalksOk thanks for the reply. BDW if i have to use this two adobe and ms office which OS u recommend except windows?
@@JARHEADXz Unfortunately, you're stuck with either Mac OS or Windows since those are the only two operating systems supported by both Microsoft Office and Adobe applications.
@@AverageNerdTalks Got it. can you make a video on how to install mac os on windows? i want to try some new os
@@JARHEADXz Mac OS is exclusively available on Apple computers. There is no legal way to install it on a non-Apple computer.
Btw i just wanna what do you do, a job or just a full time youtuber
That's a secret 😉
TH-cam isn't my full time job though.
I used Fedora for over 20 years. For the last two, I've run Mint. Why? Because I got tired of Fedora nuking itself with updates and doing radical things every so often that completely breaks stuff for the end user. I did my fair share of IT work but recently with the adoption of Wayland, it became untenable for me to use and I don't recommend it anymore. Mint was a nice, refreshing approach that focuses on functionality and stability first. That approach is working well and over 2 years later I'm on the same installation. I've successfully upgraded from 20.3 all the way through the current 21.3. I do a wide variety of tasks. Everything from Spreadsheets to advanced low latency audio production and gaming. Mint has enabled me to do all of that. Without the controversy and instability that most other distros tend to have when doing that. Sure, there may be "feature rich" distros out there, but good luck keeping them running without issues for more than 6 months. Mint is one of the few distros that I've used that has done that. All the while accepting my customizations and modifications for my tasks.
Content is gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood
1:08 "...it's a bit old."
Me, who still uses Ubuntu LTS 20.04 on some servers: 😶
I heard this is what happened if you kept talking about linux you'll slowly turn into muta himself
is this mutahar in his happy place? sounds so chill in comparison
I use Arch Btw.
I use linux mint on a daily basis for about 6 years now. I would never go back to windows...
Nice to blur steam name... but forgot friend code and email to blur😅
Oh yeah lol! Totally missed that. Thanks for letting me know!
I'd subscribe, but you're at 420 subs, and I don't want to be the one that ruins that.
It's 422 now, so I subscribed.
mutahar i love your videos
and great video by the way
I hope mutahar notices you
Lawful good mutahar
windows and linux on same hard drive no.windows and linux on different hard drives👍🏻👍🏻always good.
I Have partitioned my hard drive. I run Windows and Linux from the same drive. 1 drive, 2 O/S's... no problem. This is common. Search the internet for more info.
One big important rule... if you are putting windows on it, install it first, then install other O/S's. IF you are putting a few Linux O/S's on a disk, it doesn't matter. You can install them in any order.
✓ Is Indian
✓ Uses Linux
✓ Has beard
*×* Is Muta
Why do people keep mentioning Mutahar? He doesn't look anything like him!
Same hairstyle and close enough face shape. He looks close enough
How dare you 😆
Smartest move you can make- DELETE WINDOWS and never look back.. and avoid as much google crap as possible and NO cloud junk EVER..
Not when uni has... Requirements
