I’m trying Mint too, for the most part it has been a relatively intuitive transition from Windows… up until the moment I try to customize things. Fuck me for trying to pin programs to my panel, make my own shortcuts/launchers, install things to my choice of directories or recategorize my start menu shortcuts. I’m so used to just being able to right click on something and have the thing I wanted to do be an option there, or be able to just click and drag something somewhere and it just does the thing. Looking up the directions for how to do a really basic thing after the third or fourth time gets reeeeal old.
That’s one of the things about switching OS. Your habits and ways of doing things need to change. Doesn’t matter which OS you come from or which one you go to.
It’s one of the more challenging parts, even though it’s not the hardest part.
I don’t actually use a computer for much anymore. I model in Blender for 3D printing, and have two slicers installed but I think I have just used Prusa mostly. Eventually I’ll get around to wanting to play with a DAW again. I have a couple, but I haven’t messed with them. Fooled with GIMP a little. I’m the most boring Linux user. Everything online is done on my mobile.
