I’ve also got the Linux Basics for Hackers book but it’s at home while I’m on vacation.

I’m just really happy rn yall :) this install took some work, SecureBoot kept getting in the way and I’m not the most savvy person so there was a lot of Googling and trial and error in the way of getting here.

    Welcome! Don’t listen to anyone trying to shame you for your distro choice. The most important is that you didn’t choose windows.

      Thanks! I plan to experiment with others, but I wanted a nice smooth transition for my wife and I both, so Mint seemed like a great starting point.

        Mint is rad. I currently use barebones Debian testing with a bunch of customized stuff, but I always keep a bootable Mint flash drive on my keychain. It’s a very solid choice

    Quick tip: forgot how to use a command? Use man commandname to see a short manual page for that command.

    Forgot sudo on your command? !! refers to the previously typed command, so you can simply type sudo !! to fix it.
