I am currently up late doing anything but sleeping. Later, during the day, I will have officially taken the dive into Linux! I am very excited to do so. Does anyone have any tips, anything that a new user should know? That would be greatly appreciated.

Also might be worth mentioning at the present time Mint is based on Ubuntu 24.04, that can help narrow things down, but also help if you need third party packages.
