Booting from external USB drives on powerpc macs is always a gamble, and they very rarely show up in the boot menu. Try this: www.macintoshrepository.org/articles/115-how-to-boot-ppc-powermacs-g3-g4-g5-from-a-usb-stick-or-drive-

Yeah I've been getting this way too - I run Fedora/KDE/Wayland on my laptop. I do still recommend Mint for new switchers, though.

Interesting! Glad to hear linux mint is working well for you though. :-)

Thanks so much for sharing how you used a 145b to run your business. I do agree, it’s a great distraction-free platform! I’ve been using Clarisworks a bit on here, but my files keep getting corrupted. Time to swap out the SCSI for a blueSCSI I think.

I’m so happy for you! Really glad this video was useful for you. I still plan to do a few more videos on mint for people looking to switch. :-)

I'm really glad you found it helpful! Enjoy mint. 🙂

A story as old as Windows has existed. What a hilarious way to have the decision made for you. 😂

It absolutely can! BUT I wouldn’t say very fast, it’s a super old machine with a weak CPU and GPU.

@@QuinsTechCorner What flavor did you try: Cinnamon, MATE, or Xfce?

@@emirvmendoza Xfce. It ran, but it was definitely too much of an ask for this machine.

@@QuinsTechCorner Thank you very much

I’m really glad to hear you’re happy with it! An unstable windows experience is definitely the main “stick” for getting people to switch. And if there’s a carrot, it’s the stability and privacy-respecting nature of linux :-)

@@QuinsTechCorner what pissed me off is difficulty in running gothic 2 night of the raven or any pirania bytes games but... In general it just works. My main straw was recall - i learned about it few months later than premiere of this spyware lol.

That’s awesome! I hope you’re enjoying it. :-)

Great tip.

@@Siltprogramation Yeah i ended up figuring this out. I just got rid of the second monitor because I loved mint/cinnamon (which has experimental wayland only).

@@user-nm7ij7ty5r That’s awesome!!

When it’s ready I suppose 😂 They don’t confirm to a particular release schedule/cycle, but I do know that the beta isn’t far away. :-)

Thanks for the feedback, I’m really glad you liked it. New videos will come slowly due to my working full time, but they’ll be there eventually. :-)

Thanks for the comment, I’m glad the video got you thinking. These are great questions, and I’ll definitely address them in this series. Unfortunately progress will be quite slow as I’m working full time. This is definitely a side hobby. :-)

Nice! Yeah that's what struck me, casual performance was really good which I didn't expect. Enjoy the 2018 MacBook Pro :-)

Sounds good!

@@kolz4ever1980 Fully agree! I love mint and still use it on my desktop every day. Coincidentally I use fedora on my laptop, because the hardware is very new and support with mint wasn’t amazing.

Interesting! The 10700k is roughly 10% faster than the CPU I have in this machine, so you'll have no issues with performance. A word of caution though, these hackintosh projects are not going to be great for long-term. Apple will eventually (soon) stop building macOS for Intel, and when that happens we'll no longer be able to get up-to-date versions of macOS unless we actually have a real mac. I do agree it's pretty upsetting the way the pricing structures have been going in recent years. I love the hardware, but no longer buy anything from Apple due to this, and issues with anti-consumer policies/design.

Hey :-) No, I used the OCLP app to copy the installer files to the USB. It's very easy, and I definitely recommend doing it that way.

I used both a logitech keyboard and mouse. :-) Pretty much anything will work.

I bought them from Macfixit Australia. You should be able to find them on ebay though!

I used gnome maybe 10 years ago, but not since! I do love cinnamon.

Great! Glad to be of assistance.

Glad to hear it!

Just installed my first copy on an older Asus as a test run and to learn it now I'm going to convert everything but my wife's high end gaming laptop to Linux. She wants to be able to play Roblox and game pass stuff with her family even though I have a series X for that... Lol

I’m really glad to hear it! Hopefully you can both use mint and it treats you well. Yes, I plan to do a few more videos in this series. If you have any specific topic you’d like me to cover, let me know!

@@QuinsTechCorner Thank you very much; will get back to you soon on that.

So Quin I have a couple of things for you. My question is very basic and not necessarily video-worthy but....how do you import short-cuts from Microsoft Start to Mint....or other things for that matter! Basically going from Windows to Mint. My boyfriend's question is more complex....something he hasn't seen anybody talk about so far. He wants to know "What sort of Windows software can be run on Linux with Wine or other emulator software? And...how well does it run on emulators?" Hopefully this makes sense! Thanks!

​@@fieldingpreston9085 running emulators is simple. Hell, you'll find them also in the software center and use the same roms. You can also use the windows version and use wine to run them if you prefer. I do with mame since a lot of times you'll be sandboxed and the program won't let browse outside of it's directory to an external drive. But yeah it's extremely possible for that. The bigger issues will be if either of you play games online and if they got easy anti cheats like destiny 2 or others like league of legends. There's no work around for those but look up proton db on Google to see what games do and don't run. Many many games do run including online stuff like elden ring and so on

@@kolz4ever1980 Thanks

Ah yep, it’s the worst. I came across this same problem, and decided I could either upgrade my side monitor to 165Hz like my main, unplug it when gaming, or just remove it altogether. I removed it. I’m so done with Windows that I made the sacrifice. I do understand that this is something that’s going to be addressed in Wayland, when it gets implemented properly in mint :-)

You’re very welcome! LMDE would be a great choice if you like the debian base. :-)

@@QuinsTechCorner already ran into an issue and it won’t boot from hard drive after install lol! I’ll figure it out but any tips are welcome

@@Lexsoufz How is it behaving? Just straight up won’t boot? It could be that the boot loader failed to install. Do you see GRUB (a boot menu) appear after starting the machine?

@@QuinsTechCorner I did it with and without grub boot loader and no luck. Read something about reinstalling windows and updating bios, which I proceeded to try. Now, since removing Linux and putting windows back, my laptop won’t charge passed 5% and it won’t allow me to update bios even when plugged in. Uh oh lol

@@Lexsoufz That’s starting to sound more like a coincidental hardware issue!.. not great. 💀

That’s pretty upsetting, yep.. 😂 Very cool though. How are you liking it?

@@QuinsTechCorner As a gamer, pop os eliminated the need to setup my nvidia driver since they had an iso with it. Proton (and GE) made all my Steam Windows only games work. GOG has some Linux installers (via .sh files that need executable perms) but if you read the txt file, tells you what you need as dependencies (IE: Flatout 2 requires Wine) and its smooth sailing from there. Flatpak has Prism Launcher so I can easily mod and play Minecraft. I also got Fallout 4 and Skyrim to work (mods too). I even got all (my applicable) online games to work. Overall, the only thing I cant get to work is my Elgato Stream Deck MK2 since the only Linux tools support older models. All my games work fine, native Linux or no, with minimal tweaking. Im seriously considering ditching Windows 11 and putting it on my SSD, just waiting for my Elgato device to be supported at this point.

I’ve been using it for a few months as my only OS, I love it. And yea, no recall, and no “Apple intelligence”. Thanks for watching.

It does bear a resemblance to that era of windows, I suppose! The great thing about most Linux distros is that you can customise them to your liking. :-)

That’s an interesting one! I sure can - I’ll add it to my list of upcoming videos. :-)

Yeah I enjoyed 7 too. I kept using windows because i play games a lot, but now with proton the switch was a no-brainer. :-) Thanks for watching!

A great idea! It can never hurt. :-)

Im about to make a usb boot drive tomorrow and install mint on my laptop thats pretty new but has crap specs. Hey it ran some games off gamepass and battlefield 4 just fine. How do i intiate the firewall and i have a McAfee subscription that prob just robbed me anyway do you need that kind of software on linux?

@@lionnotsheep6048 Go to 'All Applications' and search for 'Firewall' down there. Under 'Status' switch it on. There are other things one can do with it but that's all I do. Can't help about McAfee

You can set up the firewall by going into the system settings. It's also displayed as a suggestion as soon as you log in to Mint for the first time. I would advise that you don't need McAfee or any other kind of antivirus on Linux. So long as you're not visiting unsafe websites, and you trust the content you obtain, you'll be fine.

@@QuinsTechCorner got it up and running on an old Asus instead of my newer dell. Asus has an i3 and 4gb soldered ram weird never knew they soldered ram till I opened the back and it has only 1 empty ram slot but reads 4gb. I had some weird errors happened when I removed the USB stick on the first re boot but I just didn't touch anything and it resolved itself. Can't believe this laptop would lag insanely crazy with windows 10 and now it runs like a dream on mint.

I referenced multiple guides, but please enlighten me? If I totally misunderstood it, I’d like to know why, instead of just being told so.

@@QuinsTechCorner You are presenting a flatpak application as if it takes far more space on the drive than it does. Flatpak shares runtimes and dependencies and there are deduplication on file level. If all you have is a single flatpak application then of course you will think it's a lot of disk space because it would be like installing a distro + the application. It's a misrepresentation to say you should only use system packages because flatpak applications are so big (they are not).

Thanks for letting me know, I've dug a bit deeper and it looks like it's a common misconception, one that I also got swept up in. I will rectify this immediately and cut out that section of the video.

I’m glad it was helpful! I absolutely can - I’ll add it to my list of upcoming videos.

I fully agree!! :-)

I’m really glad it’s working well for you! That’s an interesting one, i’ll have a think about that. :-) Do you mean a convenient way to snap windows to sizes, for example?

Someone else has said this - thanks for correcting me, I'll rectify.

Wow! Yeah that’s gonna be a crawl! I’m interested to hear if you get it working properly with more memory. Good luck!

They’re mighty convenient, that’s for sure!

I’ll check it out! :-)

It's mostly down to regional accents like how some groups of midwesterners, like me, often say "tuh" instead of to. If you don't like it then you can just not watch videos that have people who do that.

Lmao it’s almost like people come from different places and have different accents innit bruv.

Yeah I’ll definitely have to check out fastfetch. Also, what’s the advantage of apt over apt-get?

@QuinsTechCorner apt just has more guardrails, which is intended to make it more user-friendly, especially for newer users. Includes other features like more visual feedback, less obscure commands, etc. Most of the arguments are the same for what the majority of users do, though. I believe it's also the official guidance from most distributions now.

@@iam0ri Sounds great! Will look into it.

@@QuinsTechCorner Doing apt-get has been deprecated for some time now.

Bewdyful 😎 It’s not far off to be honest, but it’s pretty flat and modern too.

1Т 15 МАТЕ, пот с1ппамоп

it sure can!

yeah and traditional...but that's what make it amazing and unique❤❤❤.... I use mint in my main driver and the second one i use fedora gnome...

Gnome forever
