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.
Does anyone distro shame Mint? The only distro-shaming I’ve seen is against Ubuntu, and that’s because of Canonical’s repeated attempts to turn Linux into Windows and push their own proprietary bullshit.
I like Mint quite a bit myself. Mint Cinnamon is my preferred “just put Linux on it” distro.
My comment was mostly tongue in cheek :-p
