Using Linux Mint As My Daily Driver: Two Years On. And Also A Small Update On Life Now That I’ve Graduated.

2 minute read

Two year ago, I decided to install Linux Mint on my old Acer laptop. Since then, I’ve been using Mint as my daily driver, and last year I wrote an article where I looked back at my year thus far as a Linux user. This hastily written article celebrates two years so far as a Mint user. I’ll also fill you in on some life updates and plans. It’s not a very long read, certainly not as long as the previous anniversary post, but I thought I’d write something quick to fill us in. Hopefully I’ll make more detailed blog posts in the future.

In previous blog posts I have mentioned the fact that I was still searching for a placement. That search has ended with me going straight into the third and final year of my Bachelors degree.

One year ago, I decided to install Linux Mint on my old Acer laptop. Since then, I’ve been using Mint as my daily driver, and in this article I’m looking back on some of my highlights so far as a Linux user, what I still miss about my time as a Windows user, and then looking back on if I ultimately made the right choice (SPOILER ALERT: I did indeed make the right choice! 😉) and finally if I plan to switch distros. Strap in, folks! This one’s a LOOOOOOOOOOONG read!
