This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Which additional software in all did you install after boot though?
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.
