Four years using linux mint on a 13 year old laptop. running very well, for what I need to do. Recognized my mouse my 2 printers with no problems. Bye bye Microsoft !
Nice and enjoy! :)
tysm man! btw congrats on 600 subs!
No problem and thank you :)
This was a really informative video I'm considering installing Linux Mint on my old laptop.
Do it! :)
hey bro, i see you actively help people in your comments, i love that good on you. great video and your voice is mad calming lmao. this video helped a bunch as i got an old laptop that could not run windows 10 well, 'preciate this guide, keep doing what you are man 🎉❤
Thank you and yes, I do my best to try to answer questions as best as I can. :)
planning on installing it on my main PC tomorrow. thank you!
No problem and enjoy! :)
linux mint is the best os i've ever seen i'm tired of windows i use mint on my lenovo thinkpad T420
A great OS for a t420!
@@Digital-ScriptoriumI'm done with windows 11 so I wanted to try a new linux distro and starting by mint and it was a Perfection I recommend it , I'm using it on a midrange pc
@@victusraiton nice!
You know what, you deserve millions of subscriber
Haha. I'm just glad people are finding the videos to be useful.
Thanks, I knew how to do this but just in case.
It's all good :)
Great Guide 👌
Thank you! Enjoy!
Thank you for this video. It's been about three years in the making but I finally fucked Windows off and after much deliberation and thought, I finally moved to Linux Mint. Your video made installation painless. Thank you for that. If you make any more videos about Linux Mint that might help me in future, useful features, commands that are crucial to know, how to streamline for games or great software packages that you recommend, it would be much appreciated.
Hahaha nice! The nice thing with mint is it shares the command structure of Ubuntu and Debian. If you have some spare time it might be worth checking out my Linux project videos. You'll see me doing various commands to make things happen. I try to explain what they do as well. Anyhow, enjoy!
@@Digital-Scriptorium I'll certainly do that! As it stands I'm trying to get my WiFi working as my laptop is relatively new!
@@WBGT007 it might require some tinkering but you got this!
@KhaleeqAhmedNaveed nice!
@KhaleeqAhmedNaveed no problem and thank you!
Today I got a big message to switch to windows 11, been loyal to windows since forever but so done with them. Thanks for the video, trying to learn what the switch will be like.
Yeah, I keep trying to adjust to Windows 11 but they sure do love to just change things that have worked for decades...
Thanks for the help
No problem! Enjoy! :)
Thank You!
No problem! Enjoy! :)
Super well done video. I'm impressed. I just bought a cheap HP 14TQ1003C to convert to Linux. I've been putting off wiping out Win 11 with Linux but I get lost in all the mumble jumbo. I've done it to two other laptops but usually something comes up that wasn't covered in the dozens of other tutorials I've watched, so I basically experiment until it works. I hate the stress it creates. I did notice that you said nothing about partitioning when installing. Everyone else ALWAYS sets up partitions. What should I do? I'm not a computer geek but have been messing with OS's since DOS. I think I get especially confused with simpler and simpler operating systems. LOL I'm going to have this video running while updating my laptop. Be healthy, stay safe and many blessings, Morgan
No problem! Generally just letting the Linux OS do partitions by default is the way to go these days. Back in the day it was more of a manual process.
GOOD VIDEO!😃🎉
Thank you! Enjoy! :)
Never ask what could go wrong ? Doing so and it will go wrong. LOL!
Hahaha exactly. I do jinx myself a lot...
During my install just jow on an asus laptop it popped up on the screen in the corner really quick in red letters that something failed now im just stuck on a black screen... Edit it came up and says install now
So the OS installer itself wants to install again or just some app?
What kind of desktop environment is used into this Linux Mint 21.2 "Victoria?
Cinnamon is what Mint uses by default
How can I get rid of swap and mount home folder and temp folder into ram to make the life of my ssd longer?
Unless it's acting as a super data heavy server I wouldn't worry about SSD life. If you do what to still go down the route though the forums for the OS might have some guides to follow.
Having some issues with LM 21.2 Victoria. Loaded Audacity 2.4.2 and can't record sound from audio tracks on my computer or any Websites without tons of background noise. On occasion, Software Manager, Firefox and other programs won't start properly. They seem to crash almost immediately after clicking on them. Now my girlfriend's laptop is crashing. Try to restart it, but it just freezes up.
Hmmm, very odd. If it was one computer doing odd things I would question hardware but two acting up is a bit of a pickle.
can you help me? ive tried to fix this many times. my wifi will disconnect usually within less than a minute of it connecting making it impossible to do anything. and it will ask for the wifi password sometimes even though its filled already. what makes it even worse is my internet speed is unfathomably low, like 200kbps! when i used ethernet it made it 1mbps.
Hmmm. I wonder if it thinks it's dropping with those speeds. It might be worth trying to find your wireless cards driver online and seeing if that would help.
brother if I switched to linux mint from windows will is lose my data other than drive in which i am installing linux
You'll want to do a data backup as not all of the windows data you have will be viewable/useable in Linux land.
I am using ventoy
And i am getting unable to install grub as error at last
Unfortunately, I have never used ventoy. Just Rufus, Etcher, out the Linux built in boot drive utility.
I used ventoy today trying to install ubuntu, and it gave me some error in the middle of the installation. guess it's a ventoy problem, rufus did the work fine.
@@farhanrejwan interesting
Can we not install Linux without USB? I mean directly download it from the website and install it?
Currently not that I know of.
But what about the WIFI? I see only the wired option; I tried online solutions that require cloning git repos and it didn't work
So you know what kind of wireless adapter you have? You might have to manually pull down drivers for it.
@@Digital-Scriptorium I followed the tutorial on a laptop (very nice and simple thank you I love you *hugs you*) but it's the same for me as it is for you when you clicked the internet icon.
The laptop was windows and worked with wifi normally but now I don't have the option to use wifi.
@@rodolf5941 haha no problem! Yeah, I would check out the Mint forums for getting your wireless to be happy. Certain model machines can all be different in what needs to be done.
yo bro, for me its saying disk error when I reboot, pls help me
Hmmm, you might need to turn UEFI off in your BIOS.
@@Digital-Scriptorium thx
@@awesomedude3949 no problem!
Hello , I was following all the steps and it was going perfectly but during 9:31 I accidentally powered off my PC and now it's not booting and I am confused. It is showing this error:-
Failed to open \EFI\BOOT\mmx64.efi - Not Found
Failed to load image \EFI\BOOT\mmx64.efi: Not Found
Failed to start MokManager: Not Fond
Something has gone seriously wrong: import_mok_state() failed
Please help!!
I would just do a fresh install all over again.
@@Digital-Scriptorium I did try on the same usb but it just showed the same error.
Hmmm, it could be possible the thumb drive data got corrupted with the power off.
@@Digital-Scriptorium I'll try with a new usb tomorrow, will let you know
Sounds good and good luck!
i am stuck on infinite loop of pc booting and turning off stuck at dell's logo
Are you able to boot from the thumb drive again?
Ubuntu or Linux Mint which is better and all-rounder for all type of works!
Well I would say Mint is less bloated on resources. Ubuntu has become more and more of a resource hog over the years.
@@Digital-Scriptorium Ok, So it means that ubuntu is getting better day by day compare to other Linux operating system? Thank you for clearing my doubt! By the way nice and on the point tutorial i like the look and design of linux mint os.
@@DefaultSettings... no problem and enjoy!
My internet is connected but i can access the internet after upgrading to linix mint Victoria
PLEASE someone help
If you open terminal and type "ip address" without the quotes are you getting an IP?
@@Digital-Scriptorium
Yes sir I am getting an IP
@@myownprison1601 hmmm interesting. So the browser just can't connect out?
this did not show how to download it (at least for me), it showed how to work it through the usb etc, but not how to get it onto your computer to then work it through the usb
You should be able to download it from Linux Mints website.
I don't have a USB stick
You can check out the description for a recommended one or you can also burn the installer to a CD/DVD if you have a drive.
Sd card also work.
@reason6779 this is true!
@@Digital-Scriptorium yes, but
need usb type gadget. And those are really cheap. I myself use this method. 😍
@@reason6779 absolutely!
Lol i am stuck in multimedia codec page it's loading can you help sar
Is it frozen or what's it doing?
@@Digital-Scriptorium it took some time but it successfully install but i am facing slow Wi-Fi speed problem
@@Digital-Scriptorium but facing slow Wi-Fi speed issue
Have you run all of the updates yet? Usually you don't have to try and hunt down a specific driver but if it seems rather slow then that might be the best thing to do.
@@Digital-Scriptorium are you talking about apt get update
After installation my laptop says: you don't have any operating system😢
It could be a number of things. Secure boot might need to be turned off. UEFI might have to be enabled or disabled. It might even require just going through the setup again.
@@Digital-Scriptorium but you didn't mention any other setting?
Generally it doesn't require stuff to be custom toggled. Just thinking of potential reasons besides hard drive failure.
This is gibberish. How was the wireless connection established
I didn't show a wireless connection. Only hardwired was active. If wireless is an option then it will give you more options for connectivity.
6:53 - this is an example of bad interface, how there is no clear "to install select this" option.
How could a user knew that for install you need to run it first? Even "OEM Install" looks more logical.
Yeah, they could spruce that up a little.
It still looks outdated and not much has changed
Yeah, just back end changes really.
hi, I installed linux mint victoria on chuwi gemibook x pro! but on the home screen it doesn't give me the option to connect to the internet hotspot and tethering! When I click on network, there is no entry that takes me to an icon with WiFi and I can't use it. Could it be that the laptop is too new? thank you in advance! Thanks for the explanations!
It is possible the hardware is too new for embedded base drivers. Do you happen to have a USB NIC to plug into it to see if doing updates will pull what's needed?
@@Digital-Scriptorium I have a pakardbell from 2008/2009 which I installed the same ISO and in pre-installation live mode it immediately recognizes the router, then I enter the password and it connects! instead the chuwi behaves as if the distribution was fake! Thank you for replying, I hope it's resolved! Greetings from Italy
@@davidbrandes7235 no problem!
