I also recommend StreetComplete (fdroid), an app that lets you contribute to the OpenStreetMaps database. It shows you a local map and asks questions like, how wide is this road? What kind of road is it? Is there a pedestrian crossing here? What kind of parking is here? How do power lines attach to this pole? etc.

Finally uninstalled Google Maps. Installed Organic Maps, instead. (f-droid).

You just couldn’t resist sucking up to Trump, could you Google? Remember when your company motto was, “don’t be evil?” That was 20 years ago.

This. And there is no way Trump will keep any “deal” that costs him money. He has literally built his business around stiffing contractors. No one should trust him or expect him to keep his word.

Huffing Donald Trump’s farts isn’t a “job.”

You’ll probably be installing programs and changing a lot of settings over the next few weeks. Make sure you use TimeShift (pre-installed on Mint) to make system snapshots. (It works like System Restore on Windows. You can even run it from your Linux Live flash drive if you mess up something so badly that you can’t boot from the hard drive).

LibreOffice comes pre-installed and you can use Thunderbird for email. And if you used Steam to play games on Windows, you’re in for a nice surprise. Steam has a native Linux client and it uses Proton / Wine to let you play your Windows games on Linux. It’s handled everything I’ve thrown at except for a couple of older games.
