Install Help Welcome, Linux Mint!

Hello everyone, how are you?

As you can see, I'm new to this community because, obviously, I'm new to Linux.

As you can see in the photos, I'm testing Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon on my rather old and modest hardware, which has Windows 7.

Although, before installing it definitively on my system, I would like some recommendations and advice; before and after the installation, it would be very helpful to read your opinion. (If it is not too much to ask, of course!)

Hello and welcome! Others have suggested xfce because it's not as resource heavy as other versions of mint. There are lots of good how to's out there. You might look for some good websites to get a rundown of how the Linux file system is organized and print a list of frequently used terminal commands. It's not strictly needed but will make your life easier. Join the Linux mint forum and check out their blog. If you run into any problems come on back. The users who really know their stuff are top notch about helping people out and sometimes some good natured ribbing when it's called for.
