Good morning With recent changes to the Windows platform I've decided to make the swap to Linux. While it's not the first time I've tried it out I'm hoping to find the transition easier this time. I'm giving Mint a go and will try and make this my main OS. I will keep windows as a dual boot option for now just in case I have to do a task that I haven't learned how to do with Linux.

So far I've managed to get steam running and tested a game I'd play to confirm it was working.

I suspect the biggest challenge will be terminal.

If anyone has any feedback or suggestions I'm open to them. Heck even funny moments when you first started. I still find when Linus nuked his setup very funny.

Yeah. I just had my first run in with an issue that I ended up using the Terminal to fix. I use audio from my monitor that's connected to my Nvidia GPU and it was having a 1-3 second audio delay. It was a power idle default and I had to make some adjustments and get it saved. Still not 100% sure how it works. With how rough google is to search for things I was using chatGPT to help me out. While it worked I don't know how. I imagine as time goes on I'll get more comfortable with it.
