    I got mint up and running with zero terminal input. It was so slick. Idk what you did, but maybe just try booting mint up yourself and leave chat gp out of it.

        Real basic. Steam, VLC, and a torrent client. Setting up a VPN was probably the toughest part. But even that was easy.

        I think a lot of people get into trouble trying to do a partition, which windows will try to hunt down and breach. In the name of security capitalism.

          I just single-booted mine, so no Windows partition, but I use my laptop for video editing, graphic design, and a bunch of other tasks, so I have to install a range of other software and productivity apps like Autokey, Flameshot, image resizer, fancy file nenamer, Figma, rustdesk, bitwarden, and like at least 20 others. Not all of these went easy, especially since there are some Linux software that runs on debian based systems using .deb files, and others that aren’t designed for use with Mint at all, so it’s hard or impossible to get these going.
