Things are mostly going well (couldn't be happier to have ditched windows 10)
I'm an old dos baby so the terminal isn't foreign to me. Learning the vocabulary probably should have happened first but desperate times.. no internet.. so it's learning as I go.
So far, the boot time is over 3 minutes.. kinda frustrating
Normally the first thing I'd do after getting a new OS up and running would be to install an anti-virus... then my VPN and after that the anti malware stuff.
I have done none of that.. I don't think I saw any of that in the software manager.. does Linux not need those things? If we do need them.. what are their names?
I have tried to get expressvpn on the machine.. the last thing that happened in terminal is it asked for my authentication code.. and just hung there.. wouldn't take input, typing or pasting. Weird.
Also.. wine won't even give me the install button on the software manager.. the buffer circle never ends .. I was kinda hoping to have some wine on this machine.. thoughts?
And thank you
