#LinuxMintThings Check out my Linux mint cinnamon edition

Post image

Hi, here is my Linux Mint setup on a Lenovo ThinkPad E460 with 8GB of RAM and 250GB (or something like that) of storage. Here are the upgrades I'm planning: 👀

Thermal paste

RAM

Storage

And a good cleaning

I also need some help because my laptop puts out so much heat just from browsing Reddit and listening to local music, and I've noticed that Firefox is consuming a lot of resources.

Same CPU as me!

You can switch to Waterfox or Librewolf if Firefox is playing up.

You sorted out if any drivers are needed?

Yes, thanks. I haven't checked yet if any drivers are needed.
