    • Don’t forget, that the Mint developers and developers of other “user-friendly distros” do very hard work, so you can enjoy less-hassle distro.
    • But it is very boring for “Never Settle” philosophy to use such distros.
    • Don’t forget, that some people enjoy tinkering thing around them. Mint, Pop!_OS, Fedora etc are simply not interesting for them. They choose the hardest possible way and enjoy it.

    Mint. When you just need it to work now and forever without having to think about it ever.

    I mean I love LFS as much as anyone, but damn son, I’ve got shit to do.

        Nah I take OpenBSD that works, work on it, then break it forever right after it’s been pushed to prod at 4:50 before a holiday weekend. Like men do. (giant /S)

    The true Linux users are the ones that realize that all Linux is the same. The only differences is package management, Desktop Environment, and customization by the Distro creator.

    You can literally just install Debian stable with Cinnamon DE and get basically Linux Mint on Debian. Bonus points for adding backports so you get a slightly more updated kernel.

    I know this is a joke, but you should use whatever distro you want to use…because at the end of the day it’s all Linux.

        At that point, what are you using Mint for? The Cinammon DE?

        IMHO, KDE feels much more modern, while Cinammon kind of feels like it’s stuck in 2003. It reminds me of the stock gray boxy Windows 9x/NT/2000 interface.

    Well, I’m still in the noob stage and i intend to stay there. My OS is just a means to an end and Mint is perfect for that.

    I don’t have any need for arch, fedora is fine as it is. Might try arch if I have more reliable internet someday, my main concern is my system going brrrr one evening when I need to do some important legal work.

    IMO Mint is to Ubuntu what Manjaro is to Arch: a pile of duct tape in the name of user experience ready to blow at the worst time, down to the TLS certificate mishaps.

    People pick really weird distros to worship…

    I used archinstall to setup my laptop with Gnome and only use pamac-nosnap for package management (flatpak is fine, but fuck snaps).

    I made the most noob Arch install ever and I love it.

    Read this and your brain might get a new wrinkle: it’s possible to appreciate multiple distributions for their own merits.

    My only issue with mint is that it is downstream of Ubuntu so I feel like the maintainers have to spend too much effort fixing kinks and bypassing Canonical’s dumb ideas.

    LMDE is cool too, but then its too stable and doesn’t have all the nice UI features of regular mint lol.

    The only way to win the argument is to come up with an association that has nothing to do with computers at all.

    I use Linux Mint because I like Mint Ice Cream

      See your subjective reality is wrong because Arch ice cream is sooooooooo much better. Fucking ice cream noobs and shit …
