I just switched to Linux Mint Cinnamon today, and I'm completely new to it. I want to know what tips and tricks can help me become a more proficient Linux user. Any advice would be appreciated!

One essential lesson with Linux is to search for answers yourself. Whatever you’re curious about has probably been covered somewhere. So take some time to do a bit of research online or check out YouTube for beginner-friendly content on optimizing your experience. It’ll save everyone time and you’ll learn a ton!
Honestly, just start using it like you normally would with any computer. Explore the interface and get familiar with the system. It's all about practice!
Remember, it’s just an operating system! Use it like any other computer, and don’t stress about being 'good' at it. It's all about getting familiar with the tools at your disposal.
I recently installed Linux Mint on my laptop too! My best advice is to just play around with it and use it regularly. You'll be surprised how quickly you learn. I still catch myself trying to right-click to move files like I did in Windows. Old habits die hard, right?
Totally agree! Also, try to learn how to use both the GUI and the terminal. It really helps you understand the inner workings of Linux.
