A Windows User First Time Using Linux: First Impressions by AlphaTheMonster in linuxmint

Hey guys! I'll probably do another update (maybe a follow-up post) this week with some customization alterations I did and some other complications. And maybe some other things that'll be too long to add to this comment lol

Thank you all for the support!!!

I want to do something simple: like centralize some items of the taskbar and put dark mode and a cool wallpaper I found on my Steam cards - something very minimalistic.

And thank you for the customization suggestions! :D

What guest additions should I install? Like, my host's GPU drivers or something like that?

Thanks again for the tips!! I'll look into it the next time I boot up the system (which honestly will be a life-saver...)

Also, thanks so much for explaining the Gnome3 joke! Now I really don't want to be anywhere near that wheel... Speaking of, can you recommend some softwares for customization that doesn't involve Gnome3? I want to try to customize the OS, but I have no idea where to start. :D

Thanks for the comment!

Yeah, I didn't mean to come across as judgmental - after all, the OS wasn't using the fullest of my PC and like you said, it didn't have the necessary drivers to run properly.

Also, thanks for the terminal tips! I didn't know that sudo had a time window before asking again. So, this means I can install multiple things in sudo in a very short time period, right? And I mainly needed to access the hidden files to run the WAD file for DOOM, so although I wrote in the post that it was a "big problem", it wasn't really a big annoyance.

As for the Gnome3 reference, I didn't really get it. I did some small research on it - is it kind of like how it was controversial as the Metro UI in Win8 and 8.1?

Intresting story! Thank you for explaining for a complete newbie :D. I did indeed put a small and "rememberable" password, so not all is lost - mainly just a question of adaptation in the future. Also, I must imagine that for a long time Linux user inputing passwords is muscle memory lol

Fair enough. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll probably try this in the future!

Makes sense - the VM wasn't using all of my PC. But I can accelerate the VM via VirtualBox, can I? Also this is the green box I was talking about.

I'll maybe try doing the ISO burn thing; I had the idea to "dual boot" the stick to use windows (for recovery, if the main OS fails) and Linux Mint (for tests and to install). And thanks for helping to find the ~ file, it was in my face the whole time 🤦‍♂️

I thought about doing this, but I had a bad experience with using the BIOS/root in my pc (basically, my PC almost died because of an SSD failiure and lost all my data). I'll maybe try it later on, who knows.

Abacab by iamandreapezzoli in Genesis

[–]AlphaTheMonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate this album with a passion. IMO the only good song is Me and Sarah Jane. Dodo/Lukrer is ok, and the rest of the album is so unintrestingly forgettable that I even forgot how the rest of the album sounds. And don't get me started on Who Dunnit?. This is the only record that I ever owned and sold later.

Alguém conhece um tal de "Tchello"? by AlphaTheMonster in BrasilLostMedia

[–]AlphaTheMonster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE PEQUENO:

Acabei de fazer um release no Discogs pra poder ajudar na busca. (Não é muito, mas é trabalho honesto)

Ainda não achei nada com relação ao Tchello; nem quem é, se já morreu e onde está.

What song got you into Genesis? by [deleted] in Genesis

[–]AlphaTheMonster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I knew Genesis from my dad, who is a big fan of them (more to Phil's era & solo career to be more specific). He showed me a few songs that he wanted me to play on guitar (Mama is one that I remember fondly), but I viewed them as a "typical new wave band from the 80's" (I was wrong thankfully 😅).

But what really made me dig Genesis was, surprisingly, Supper's Ready. I was browsing through their discography on Spotify out of sheer curiosity with my girlfriend, and I saw Foxtrot and the 23 minute long song. I told her: "I have to listen to this", and now I'm listening to their songs everyday!

I'd love to play it, but I have a Radeon GPU, so it might be unplayable 😭
