On Wednesday my sys-admin friend will help me to install mint or ZorinOS (I have to figure that out until then) on my notebook. I already created an 80 GB partition for the start. With his help I will successively make it bigger and the Windows part smaller in the future. This will give me time to get used to the GUI, find and install the apps I need and do research concerning hardware problems, that might occur in the future. So the current task is making the decision if I want to use mint or ZorinOS. Please correct me and my language if I got anything wrong, I really want to learn how all this works. #linux I'm a big fan of ZorinOS for the out-of-box experience.

That way you can change the configuration/scale.

But I also want to make wooden piano black keytops, and I'm conflicted. Because that's what I'd like most. ; } @AceArsenault@fosstodon.org you should definitely do what makes you happy.
