    Oh is this an excuse to hop on the Mint praise train? Don’t mind if I do!

    For me it was smoother than windows to install, it runs much better moment to moment (it’s like the people that made it were worried about making nice software rather than the business goals being pushed by their managers), and most importantly the fact that it is the “beginner” distro doesn’t compromise its capabilities. I am in the terminal all day every day and I use the machine to work on software for embedded Linux systems.

    Mint was so easy to install. I'm pretty new to Linux. Not afraid of having to do things in the terminal, but I don't really know many commands yet. So, I appreciate the graphical managers for updates and drivers. You can definitely tell they really worked to make a polished OS. And I really like Cinnamon. It's a very clean looking DE that has been super easy to transition to from Windows.

    Unlike Kubuntu, I didn't have to do any tricks or install anything from github to get stuff from my Steam library to work, everything just worked. And Kubuntu (or perhaps just Wayland) would crash upon waking my PC from sleep and wouldn't recover.

    I'm experimenting with Pop!_OS on my aging laptop running it on a USB drive. Was happy to see it supports 2-in-1 functionality.

    I started on mint a couple months ago and so far I've tried as many distros as I could find. I liked manjaro but then found out about their controversies so I'm currently on endeavour os. Half of the fun for me has been experimenting with different desktops and whatnot, which has gotten me back into computer stuff.

    What are these Manjaro controversies?

    Weird to use a game that decided to drop its official Linux support for this meme

    At least Sober's working.

    I have literally talked to one person at work, that he might want to try out Linux Mint in VM. Dude have never used Linux, but seems to be skilled enough to install it on his own.

    I've installed mint on my laptop, I like it so far. Everything was super easy to get set up, even the graphics drivers

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

    Now install drivers to webcam, for example elgato

    Huh, and i just installed it on my secondary computer (laptop). Maybe i should setup a dual boot on my main one soon and disable network communications in the windows partition, and then migrate ny files slowly until i can confidently get rid of that partition.

    Jut put my Mother on mint. Her windows 10 pc is reaching EOS, and I finally convinced her that having to buy a new computer every several years is unacceptable.

    Reminder for Windows 10 users who can't upgrade to Windows 11

    I'm a Linux noob so I put Mint on my PC. I like it a lot, very smooth and clean looking.

    [–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

    i have been using mint (cinnamon) too for like a year and a half. every now and then i try another distro and a few more, but i always land back where i started. it even looks pretty with the "sweet dark v40" gtk theme.

    [–] Switorik 20 points 23 hours ago (11 children)

    I will likely go back to mint once Windows 10 is done. 11 is pure trash.

    The major hang up I have is gaming. I have an Nvidia card and it's never behaved well with Linux. I also like GTAO but I will no longer be able to play it. Most of my other titles work fine.

    I don't know what I'm going to do yet.

    I switched to Linux Mint several months ago. Thanks to Proton, All my Steam games that I bought for Windows run great. (I'm using an nVidia RTX 3060). And any older games like "Deus Ex" or "Giants: Citizen Kabuto" run under Wine, using the default settings.

    Microsoft added a CoPilot icon to my Windows 10 Taskbar yesterday. It looks to me like they're not going to take "no" for an answer.

    They also added a "it's time to upgrade to Windows 11" full screen message on my login screen (with the option to decline in tiny text).

    I tried mint for a little bit but ended up using Kubuntu.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago

    If you like Kubuntu because of apt and KDE, don't be afraid of going Debian with KDE next time.

    Does anyone else find these OS wars silly? To me an OS is a tool and you should be using whatever tool is best suited for the job. For me I'm regularly switching between all 3 major OS's.

    I've got windows systems, Linux systems and MacOS all under regular use at home

    [–] [email protected] 12 points 23 hours ago

    Well, most people don't have spare computers at home, so they do actually need to decide. It also means that they can't easily try out different operating systems, so even when they're unhappy with their current OS, they'll rarely inform themselves about alternatives.
