Efficiency-boosting Linux Mint adventure details Mike’s first day
By: Tech Enthusiast
In a bold move to challenge himself, Mike, an individual who has rarely used Microsoft products on his personal computer, has embarked on a month-long journey to use only the Linux system for his daily activities. The decision to upgrade his laptop’s hard drive and cache came after careful consideration for several Internet privacy issues. His goal is to explore the world of Linux and document his experiences along the way.
Mike’s first day of the challenge involved planning, backups, and the installation of the Linux Mint system. Despite his background with computers, he admits to having minimal computer knowledge due to his “lazy nature.” However, he paved the way for a smooth transition by choosing to use a dual Windows/Linux system to avoid any potential issues.
He chose to install Linux Mint due to its user-friendly interface and its similarity to Windows systems of earlier years. After creating an installation disk and setting the laptop to boot from the flash drive, Mike began the process of installing the system. He allocated 500GB of space, including partitions for boot, swap, root, and home folders, and completed the installation with the help of online tutorials.
Once the system was installed, Mike emphasized the importance of performing software updates to ensure a smooth user experience. However, he encountered challenges with the Chinese input method not being preloaded into the system, and struggled to enable the relevant settings. Through online tutorials, he managed to rectify the issue and successfully set up the Chinese input method.
Despite encountering a few hiccups along the way, such as the system getting stuck during shutdown, Mike remained optimistic and looked forward to customizing the Linux Mint experience and installing various commonly used software in the coming days.
Stay tuned for the next installment of Mike’s Linux survival diary, as he delves into his experience with customizing the Linux Mint experience and installing essential software. Be sure not to miss out on his journey through the world of Linux.
