Hi guys, I have a question if you would be so kind. I’m a professional developer looking to finally make a semi break into Linux.
My daily driver is a Legion 5 / 6800H with 3070ti 32GB and I have been running Linux Mint in a virtual box now for a few weeks.
I can’t make a 100% transition over to Linux due to the nature of my work but I could be running at round 80-90% of my work via a Linux OS.
With the above said, I’m finally going to install a dual boot instance today. Is Mint a good starting point? Anyone else have experience with Mint and Legion or would you recommend I start somewhere else? (I have heared many people mention POP OS).
Essentially I want something I can jump head first into and just make a start familiarising myself.
I’m trying to regain some control over my data and a jump to Lemmy and a Jump away from Windows feels like a solid start !
Thank you and keep rocking…
Please feel free to message me on matrix if you have any questions, I love helping people with linux.
Thanks so much ! I really appreciate it… I have literally just hit the install button so no going back now :)
Enjoy, although do note, linux mint is an intentionally out of date distribution, which may make the wayland experience suboptimal, I’d stick to x11 until that situation is sorted, unless you’re on a rolling release bleeding edge distro like arch, it might not be very comfy.
