Oh my, guys, I’m so sorry for publishing the last and pretty small part of my Mint install series so late, so very late. There is no excuse for my failure to deliver. But I got a very good explainificaton for it: My tardiness, my lazyness and my general apathy. Good enough. Ok, there’s always some of the so-called Real Life in the way, mostly in form of power outages, fitness club interfering … and most of all a very old Oubaas failing at the task of Orca transportation.
Doesn’t matter. I promised to show you how to get some additional programs/apps onto your Minty machine. I mean, ok, that thing is relatively complete but nevertheless we all have some special needs that might not be covered by the OS’s standard collection of included software. So we go freebie shopping!
Look:
Anyway, this is all I wanted to show you today. Guess I don’t need to get into geeky details … since there aren’t any. You got a mouse/trackpad, you’ll figure it all out in a matter of minutes. This is the pure and utter fun side of Linux! Installing Free and Open Source Software that would cost you millions of Woolongs in Windows or MacOS, and play with all the groovy shit and become creative and industrious and … AWESOME!
Thar She Blows! 
The fitness club is enough of an excuse. You need to keep your body tight. 😉

Orca’s body is tight alright. 😉 At least for a 50+ woman it is. But thx for your concern.

The oobus has got me missing my old vans and burbly exhaust sounds. The new mint needs Gimp installing too.

It’s Oubaas (old uncle), not oobus! Don’t you understand Afrikaans (old timey dutch)?

One of the best things about Linux Mint is the Updater! It lets Mint users enjoy selectively updating! This helps avoid those “broken after updating” problems that seem to be pretty common with Ubuntu-based distros.

Exactly Robin! Welcome back btw. I hope you’re superduper well. The Mint team seems to overthink problems were momma Ubuntu just does nothing. That’s why Mint is so much adorablerer than its hive mother. Clem and his guys are a permanent think tank, trying to make the users’ lifes easier, while Ubu gives them Gnome3, a poopoo kaka OS without any niftyness.
Your blog somehow disapeared from my sidebar and I don’t receive any notices anymore when you blog something. Gotta investigate.
