Minty fresh Linux
This is my first proper evening on Linux. Last night I had the impulse at about 23:30 to install Linux Mint and I’m only now starting to use it.
After Partition Magic almost destroyed my Windows partition, I had to run a chkdisk to recover it, but all is well and I find I can leave Windows in peace and head back to Mint!
Indeed, there’s much to do here. My sound card doesn’t work, my networking seems a bit flaky and the typography in Gnome is awful. I looked at KDE briefly earlier on, but I’ll stick with Gnome for now.
I’m not completely new to Linux. J has been a fan since it was invented and she’s been playing around with various distros for several years. When we moved to Brussels, we came armed with a laptop running Mint and I got quite accustomed to its lo-fi charms. I’ll let you know how I get on!
