It’s probably been 15 years since I’ve used Linux and Mint seems to be the recommended distro for people who aren’t all that familiar with Linux like me, but I didn’t know if there was anything I should know with this ThinkPad model that anyone is familiar with. My searching around shows people saying everything from it was painless to install to they had tons of issues and I have no idea how common either one is.
So any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
Installing Mint or Ubuntu on laptop is an easy thing. Even with few knowledge. I think it’s important to know wich window manager you prefer. In before, because changing this is a little stressful for beginners. I started with Gnome, I didn’t like. KDE was fine, but in the long term too slow. Xcfe is the best for me. But I didn’t know in before and this costs time.
