i've only ever used linux for servers as a web dev but friday i decided to erase windows on my laptop and install mint and i'm basically obsessed now (the best part is how updates just happen but they don't restart your computer randomly when you don't ask)
Everything seems to be pretty plug and play flawless on mint. With the exception of some not so good kernels the last 2 updates resulting in little hiccups on steam. Everything else is polished and great.
i think the only thing i found that doesn't have an equivalent is google drive (which mounts as a drive on windows and streams files) :(
You can mount Google drive (even better, Koofr) in Linux.
does that use space on your drive? the thing i liked in windows was it just streamed the files so I didn't need all the space available (my full drive is like 400gb)
It doesn't. You can mount it as a network drive.
oooh great, that was my main concern! (i didn't want to try it and then end up filling up my hdd)
Unless it's a kernel update!
It only asks you to restart?
