Hi all,
I am glad finally to be joining LinuxQuestions.org, and I am excited to be part of this community! Some facts about me:
I am a longtime user of desktop GNU/Linux. I got my start (as many have) first with Debian, and then Ubuntu, back in about 2004 or so.
I have experimented with many distros since then (too many to name), and now have settled on Linux Mint as my daily driver.
After years of getting by with dual-booting alongside Windows, or putting Linux onto external drives, I now have installed Linux Mint natively on my Lenovo laptop, with Mate, Cinnamon and xfce as my desktop environments.
I am very happy finally to be able to immerse fully in Linux (corporate employment requirements previously made Windows a necessity).
So I look forward to interacting with the community, learning from the experience of others, and helping to answer questions when I can.
However please post your thread in only one forum. Posting a single thread in the most relevant forum will make it easier for members to help you and will keep the discussion in one place. This thread is being closed because it is a duplicate.
