  • I've used Mint and, honestly, I don't like it. The default applications are kind of annoying to deal with, I find KDE and GNOME far superior. Themes are very limited. I just don't see why you'd want to use Cinnamon.

    • Right out of the box it functions enough like Windows that even my wife swapped with barely a hiccup

      Yes, other distros can be great and all that jazz, but Mint makes a strong first toe dip for those who are less confident in tech

      Shit, I'm confident and I actually preferred my mint install over the other couple of distros I tried partly because it came mostly pre done and only my server gets my IT time these days

      • Right out of the box it functions enough like Windows that even my wife swapped with barely a hiccup

        To be fair, you can say the same thing about KDE.

        • Tried out fedora and it was really good, but mint just felt a little bit more right to me

          Which sucks cuz I fuckin own a fedora like a massive nerd and wanted to make that joke as often as possible. I mean I grow mint too but big fucking whoop it's a dollar to get a plant and near impossible to kill

            Oh I definitely like the idea of Mint, but for gaming I need a distro that keeps itself up to date more often, especially when it comes to graphics drivers and Proton, etc.

            Could you explain the highlighted bolted part for me? Is that a typo, or some kind of gardening term?

            • Yahh, i think they are joking about the hat and the plant

              That mint ain't going nowhere

              • No I get they are being tongue and cheek, I just don't literally understand the meaning of using the word 'nest' and 'impossible to kill' together in a sentence.
