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.
Congratulations! It’s really fun to learn something new. Don’t let anyone distro shame you.
(Unless it’s into installing Gentoo)
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
