The e-book starts with the following Introduction: “This ebook series began with “Linux Mint 17 - Full and Painless Migration for Anyone”, which led to a super edition called “Linux Mint 17 - Abandon Microsoft Today”, and now culminates with “Linux Mint 18 - The Ultimate Cold Turkey Survival Guide”. This book is the 3rd journal of my complete and full conversion to using Linux Mint exclusively over a period of three years now. The amount of knowledge and chapters has grown with each ebook. Written from the perspective of a Windows user gone cold turkey this ebook series intends to answer all of the common questions you would have after migrating to Linux. This 3rd ebook is the most complete I have ever written covering the changes in Linux tech such as SystemD, changes to APT, support for modern hardware, UEFI and GPT, power management, AMD going full open source, and Firefox supporting Netflix.com. All new Emergency chapters for those special moments when Linux Mint won't boot. QEMU with GPU Passthrough as a gaming alternative is now covered plus updated info on WINE and CrossOver. More complete printer/scanner/multifunction chapters that cover HP proprietary plugins and how to download them. Support for those who use Teamviewer on keeping yourself safe. How to download entire youtube playlists. A new extensive Security section with advanced blacklisting techniques with two perl scripts to make it easier. Blueray compression from the shell with examples for recording VHS tapes or any video source. And though the chapter list may look like the previous book, it all has been reworked for Mint 18 and modernized and expanded.
If you are jumping in head first and cold turkey into Linux Mint you need a friend. This ebook is your friend.”
As I started reading the e-book for this review my first step was to install Linux Mint on a desktop computer so that I could read the e-book and be able to test the procedures and tips when I wanted.
I use Ubuntu 17.04 and Unity as my current desktop system so I was not familiar with Mint.
The e-book begins by promising a lot, and it delivers as promised. There is a mountain of learning and helpful tips in this e-book.
The design of the e-book is to take you through the natural steps, and issues, an ordinary user would go through in installing and using Linux Mint.
As noted, there is a mountain of useful/helpful information in the e-book. This Ubuntu user is learning from and enjoying this e-book. It is apparent that the author poured much time and effort into the e-book. I plan to get much more familiar with Mint thanks to this e-book.
This book comes at a good point in time – an article in issue #120 of FCM suggested that the announced end of support for the Unity desktop in Ubuntu may push many of those users to Mint+Cinnamon desktop.
I recommend you buy the book and enjoy Mint for yourself. As noted earlier, it is available for purchase at the following link: http://www.lulu.com/shop/roger-lee/linux-mint-18-the-ultimate-cold-turkey-survival-guide/ebook/product-23182850.html
