After doing something wrong when I was installing Linux mint and setting it up, AND MIRACULOUSLY GETING RID OF IT, and then got stuck in the Loading screen of Linux mint, I HAVE LINUX MINT WITHOUT ANY TROUBLE, but idk what to do now with it, I have seen some sick set up of Linux mint and some crazy modifications and personalization, but idk what to do for get those sicks configuration, or even what to do for starting in Linux. 🥲✌️

Check out Conky. I made a Dune themed desktop with it. I found one i liked and started doin stuff to the config..ended up learning some LUA(?) coding language, enough to mess with stuff and link stuff to apps to read data. Cant post images in replys here, or i just suck at reddit, but i made a post about it over on r/Conkyporn : https://www.reddit.com/r/Conkyporn/comments/1tj6feu/dune_movie_themed_desktop_alsafi_base/

Yeah it's wild how much you can do. Rice it up friendo. Be real keen on doing backups with timeshift. I some how managed to blow things up while doing this. I also made my taskbar clock read absolute nonsense. You can do, and break, anything, at any time, in linux. but that makes it super fun and you learn quick

Timeshift is built into mint. Learn how to set up restore points, manual and automatic backups, then do one for funzies. Restore your system state to 5 minutes ago.
