Finally, after some time I made the switch to #Linux !

🧵1/2

Here is my experience and the hiccups I found :
- It was hell to find how to boot on the USB drive. You needed to disable secure boot and it didn’t tell you that anywhere, as far as I can tell
- It was easy enough to set up, connect to wifi etc
- Strangely Firefox has a bigger top app bar, instead of all the icons and tabs being on a single row, there are 2 rows (one with the tab name, and another one with the actual tabs
- The fingerprint reader could be set up, but when trying to log in it always says fingerprint not recognized
- Keyboard shortcuts changed, for example screenshots can’t be done using Win Shift S, the clipboard history doesn’t work by default etc
- The key to mute my mic doesn’t work, and is not recognized as a key. The other keys like disabling the trackpad work fine.
- I like how typing the name of software from windows like paint and notepad gives the linux equivalent

    @prole I have actually switched to KDE because there are more themes there (and jelly-like windows when you move them which is kinda fun!) while still on Mint and it ended up making websites load faster. Probably something to configure but I prefer overall kde over cinnamon.
