I've also got the Linux Basics for Hackers book but it's at home while I'm on vacation.
I'm just really happy rn yall :) this install took some work, SecureBoot kept getting in the way and I'm not the most savvy person so there was a lot of Googling and trial and error in the way of getting here.

Welcome! Don’t listen to anyone trying to shame you for your distro choice. The most important is that you didn’t choose windows.
No, no! Listen to the shamers! Change your distro eight times over the first month as you listen to them whine, and eventually return to the first one you chose, full of wisdom of why those other distros suck so you can tell the noobs who choose one of them first instead of your glorious choice!
Thanks! I plan to experiment with others, but I wanted a nice smooth transition for my wife and I both, so Mint seemed like a great starting point.
Mint is rad. I currently use barebones Debian testing with a bunch of customized stuff, but I always keep a bootable Mint flash drive on my keychain. It's a very solid choice
I used Mint for almost its entire existence so far, but recently I've started main driving immutables, and gotta say the experience is even more user friendly. That's my current experimentation stage but, so far, it doesn't feel experimental at all, it just works out the box, no issues.
My boyfriend wanted Linux on his laptop and he's not tech savvy at all. I installed Mint for him and he's very happy with it, no complaints. It's a very good choice.
I’ve been daily driving mint for over a year now, gotta say, never been tempted by anything else. It really is solid and functional and easy to work with. The only issue I’ve ever had with the system was programs closing randomly, and turns out I was just running out of ram. Fixed that by adding more swap (using part of the hard drive as back up ram).
Having come from windows, it’s really nice to not have to search through 5 different settings menus, not to mention not having changes I made reverted at every update.
Just as long as it's not Red Star, that's even worse than windows.
If you have something to hide from The Glorious and Omnipotent Kim Jong Un, our beloved leader, you do not deserve to be a human. All hail our Dear Leader.
M’comrade…
I agree that’s why I don’t listen to all the hater’s who say my distro Choice of Android Tv is bad.
Your distro of choice is a good distro unless you chose anything other than TempleOS
Thank God, I was afraid you would shame my Hannah Montana Linux
I'm not even gonna lie, I considered it
Mint's a pretty nice distro, all things considered. The only one I'd turn my nose up against is Manjaro, mostly because of their leadership's reputation as clowns.
