Dropped Win11 Hello Linux

Hey Gospel Guitars here, and I'm just wanting to spend a little time to show you What it's like to switch over from Windows 11 to Linux Mint Right now what you're looking at is my Linux Mint Desktop, I am not running Cinnamon I Have downloaded the KDE Plasma Desktop environment to run on top of Linux Mint And the version I'm running is LNDE the Debian edition 7 It's very easy to install this desktop environment over the Cinnamon environment. It's not really over the environment It's an addition to so when you boot the machine you can actually pick which environment you want to go into either Cinnamon or Plasma and Cinnamon just got kind of boring for me, so it's great for beginners But I want a little more flexibility and customization options and Plasma 6 gives that to me, so it's a little more modernized as you can see here We have categories on the left for software categories when you click like multimedia all your multimedia type software comes up Internet is internet and connectivity software the graphic software over here If you have educational which I only have FreeCAD right now games. I only have a few offices LibreOffice comes with System so you're fully equipped for handling all your Microsoft documents and everything I think that's what you are used to So if you click down here, you can see where there's a blue line over applications if you click on Places it gives you access to your normal places like you would in Windows home documents downloads movies pictures videos trash etc Also has history so you can see where you've been what you've been doing and your frequently used software and programs and places That you go to and then just click back to applications to launch your applications And you got your normal sleep restart buttons down here And of course your taskbar at the bottom of the screen which can be Customized and placed at the top of the screen through this utility just by right-clicking Click the Click on your menu to configure your taskbar Do that again show panel configuration? We'll bring you here, so now you can adjust the way this looks and operates fields And also add desktop widgets To your desktop with clocks or whatever you know monitors system monitors and things like that the weather or whatever These two squares down here change your virtual desktops, which you can have as many as you want You've got your system settings all Categorized nice and neat here on the left so anything you want to do to customize your system You will find it over here Okay wallpaper colors themes text fonts Bluetooth connections discs cameras touchscreens Pads, whatever you need. It's all over here, and it's all customizable and I think they did a really good job on Katie any system so Very quick look at some of the software that I'm going to be using I'm going to replace my low-end Vegas movie studio software with Where's Caden live On Linux and OBS of course runs on Windows and Linux as does Reaper also And I think we found ones on Windows as well as Linux and not positive on that one Most of these work on Windows hydrogen's a drum machine step sequencer You got your ELC player Pre-CAD bamboo studio XK Krita In GNU, I think everything in here runs on Windows So I was experimenting with all this stuff over the last year thinking what am I going to use if I go to Linux? I'm not a huge graphics guy, so I'm not really picky about my graphics. I have Krita and Because and I got him and so I have to learn them I'll probably be mostly in Caden live and OBS studio because I'm not writing any music right now for Reaper Or waveform, but I do want to experiment with them And of course office software is all here complete, and it's very good and Browsers, I got brave loaded up and conquer and Microsoft Edge might want Wonder why I have Microsoft Edge Because some of the soft passwords and things like getting into Social Security and stuff like that is Important to have it work right and it works right in Edge where it doesn't work right and other programs like like brave or Firefox Whatever at least in my experience edge always seems to work for my codes So I hang on to it So that's a quick look at the system Not a whole lot, I don't want to spend a lot of time going over the software at this point Do you have your dolphin manager whoops? Your file manager, which also looks very window ask It's got your different categories for your pictures and things like that, and if you have external hard drives, they'll show up down here For your store when you get the Linux mint It'll give you the software manager, so you can just go in here and find things so there's blender and Discord filezilla bit warden all the popular stuff a lot of it is crossed over to Linux So you shouldn't have a whole lot of problems unless your work is Demanding on exact programs like Adobe Premiere or something That's that would be different But in Linux you can it's expanded software base and more and more companies are Jumping on board so like personas you can get studio one for Linux now, so You want to go pro pro software and pay for it? You can there are programs out there that you can buy for Linux like DaVinci resolve and studio one and mix bus Which is based off of our door, but the interface is totally analog, and it's extremely cool So anyway, this is just a quick look at it. I've been on it. This will be week two now Of course I've been using it on a dual machine on and off for last year And I decided that I've had enough Windows 11. I'm just done with it So I said you just got to make the jump and and do it so commit to it So I did so now I have a Windows 10 dual booting with another Linux Which I might change to a different distribution, but I do have a Windows 10 running on one machine for like my boss software to edit soft Hardware because I got an 11 rack with an editor and I've got a base Boss, and I got boss DX 7 Processor and these things all have software. I've got digitech, and yeah, so if I can I still need to communicate with my hardware I can Do presets in Windows, but the rest of time I'm going to be in here unless I'm playing a racing game so Hope you found a helpful, and if you're thinking about making a switch. I encourage it. It's just it's just better and I know I don't live in Seattle I'm a Kraken fan, but I live in Spokane on the other side of state so I'm from Detroit I've always been a Red Winger, but now Seattle's finally got a team so gotta back it right All right, y'all have a good day, and thanks for watching don't forget to Like and subscribe And let me know in the comments what you think you know you want to see more videos on the computer side I don't go here very often on this channel, so thanks for watching
