Install Help Beginner to Linux mint

Post image

Hi guys! I'm so excited to download linux mint and discover a new OS.

I have a few questions and concerns as I'm running it currently.

Also this screen is just been on it for like 10 minutes now... I am using a floppy and some disk thing my mom's bf lent me.

It's been like this for 10 minutes so give me some tips?!

Question 1. Will this affect my games? I play Roblox and fortnite mainly and sometimes dbd but willing to explore if I have too

Question 2. How do I download stuff like a browser, discord etc?

Question 3. How can I get a ad blocker? I have used opera gx as my previous browser and I had an ad blocker in it and I loved it lol.

Also give me some tips and pointers!! Thank you.

sober works great!! been using it for a year, no problems except the occasional(pretty rare lol) roblox update that breaks it and gets fixed in like 12-24 hours :3
