So i just moved to Linux !

After being tired of reinstalling windows every few months because of it slowing down and becoming laggy as hell,i decided to install Linux on my laptop.

I have zero experience with it,i followed a tutorial on Youtube like a newbie and everything went fine. After setting up some few things i ran into a small issue,WIFI was slow as hell and signal was weak too.

But i didn’t give up,stayed until 4AM looking for a solution and i fixed it,so now i have full WIFI bars and fast internet !

I was shocked of how my laptop was running Linux without any CPU or FAN noise,so quiet and cold,RAM usage is insane too,only 20% used out of my 8GB while using and updating...etc,insane !

It seems i’m loving it so far,the only thing i’m scared of is the lack of compatibility, since i’m student,i use microsoft office a lot,i don’t think they can work on Linux but i ll see how it goes.

For gaming, not a big deal i’m not a big gamer, maybe i’ll try some games on it,but it’s not my priority.

If you guys have any advices or tips for someone who just started Linux,i’m here and will be so thankful.

Tip : I installed Linux Mint 19.2.

VoidConf: automatically bootstrap a void linux machine according to your needs!

Hello. sometimes ago i started a project called VoidConf that lets you bootstrap a fresh void linux according to your needs.
It actually clone a repo and start symlinking files of them in your home directory.
The result is you that have almost last updates of your config files and whenever you change any files in your home directory(if they track by VoidConf directory), your cloned git repo will update and you can push the changes to your remote. :)
This is the address of project:
[https://github.com/LinArcX/VoidConf](https://github.com/LinArcX/VoidConf)
Feel free to clone it and change [bootstrap.sh](https://bootstrap.sh/) according to your needs.

Although this project specifically written to configure a void linux machine, but you can grab the idea and automate any distro that you want. Just change the package names and service paths and in [bootstrap.sh](https://bootstrap.sh) and everything will should work.

Chrome vs Firefox in Linux

So I have attempted, multiple times to replace Chrome with Firefox. And each time, within a day or two, I am completely unimpressed with FireFox. Pages load way slower, some give me problems loading at all. I have uBlock Origin installed, have disabled it for certain websites and I have noticed improved load time on those sites. I also use TouchVPN, don't really notice much of a difference with the VPN on or off so I don't believe it has anything to do with the latency from the VPN. What am I missing here? I have heard others using Chromium over Chrome. I have used Chromium years ago, wasn't impressed. Should I give it another shot? What browser do you use? I use bitwarden for my password manager, love it as I can have it on all my systems. I do not like Chrome because of the privacy sharing obviously, that is the main reason I am trying to get away from it but at the expense of significant performance? I mean going from instant load times to sometimes 10-15 seconds to load a page, what is this 1999? Suggestions if possible would be great! Thank you!

Copy and past shortcuts in the terminal?

I've been using Linux for a fair amount of time, and as such I've learned to use the terminal quite often. However, in all my 7 years I've been using Linux as my daily driver, I never knew that `ctrl + shift + c` copies and `ctrl + shift + v` pastes. Is this something that a lot of people know? Although I'll still use middle click paste more often, I'm so shocked I have not known about these shortcuts.
