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
@linux
@First_Thunder Is there any way to disable that?
Yeah, in your Firefox settings. Click the menu with the 3 horizontal lines in the top right corner, click “More Tools”, and then click on “Customize Toolbar…”. On the bottom left corner there should be a checkbox that says “Title Bar”. Uncheck that and then click “Done” in the bottom right.
@Nyadia Figured it out and it worked! Strange that this isn’t the default.
Seems like a theming choice by Mint
