Giddy, excited, curious and nervous all at the same time.
Let’s loosen that grip of adobe, microsoft and soon I hope apple too. :-)
Edit: Just hope I’m doing this right…

Are you installing this on an Apple device? Curious about your experience!
I installed on an old apple laptop (Mac book? ... Why arnt they just laptops). And it was fine.
I did have to use a WiFi dongle (or teathered phone hotspot) to get temporary WiFi. I then opened device manager and it got the right WiFi drivers. All good after that.
I think theres Something propriatray that makes newer Mac Books much harder to install on.
Side not. Also installed on some shitty windows tablet that had a 32bit BIOS/uffe but booted to 64bit os. After much trial and error with the live ios I got 32bit grub installed booting to 64bit mint.
@GlenRambo @Lasagna Little hint regarding Wifi-Drivers...
You do not need a temporary internet connection, if you plug in the
installation USB-Stick of LM.
LM then loads the drivers from the Stick.
