Thor Hartmannson's videos

Post by MurphCID »

Thor Hartmannson has some really helpful XFCE and Cinnamon videos for both Mint and MX Linux. I learned a lot from him, check him out here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwH0x5 ... uSde0O34Zw

Thanks for posting that link! I just watched a couple minutes of his Mint 20.2 Cinnamon introduction video and already learned something...'F6' will switch quickly between two file manager panes. I liked his style of presentation and speaking too, easy to follow. I bookmarked his channel and will have to watch some of these.

I felt the same, he has an easy to follow style and he likes Mint.

He is just pounding out videos on Mint and other distros, but his Mint videos have become must watch videos for me. I have learned quite a bit from him.

Hey MurphCID...

I've only watched Thor's channel intro video and I already learned how ridiculously easy it is to change the LM menu. I'll echo others above who commented on the ease of his educational presentation style.

Later today I'm going to work on changing my board signature (again!) and adding a link to his channel will now be one of those changes.

Thanks for pointing him out!

My pleasure, I stumbled across him purely by chance.

Brilliant video again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6gYHY4vj8Q Such a resource for newbie users. It looks like Thor does a lot of custom modding on his desktop.

Thanks for the link! It appears that I can learn a lot, even as a 20 year Linux user.

He makes it so that someone like me can understand and apply his directions to make things work more efficiently. I am very impressed with Thor, he is a good teacher.
