The video highlights the following main points about why Linux Mint is considered better than Windows 11:

  1. Start Menu and Customization: Linux Mint’s menu is more organized and customizable than Windows 11’s start menu. It offers three columns, resizable icons, and customizable labels.

  2. Taskbar (Panel) Features: Linux Mint’s panel is more flexible, allowing repositioning, resizing, and creation of additional panels. Applets enhance functionality, offering features like quick desktop access and window behavior customization.

  4. Bloatware and Pre-installed Apps: Linux Mint has minimal bloatware, including useful tools or open-source alternatives. Windows 11 can have cluttered start menus with unwanted icons.

  5. Batch File Renaming and Management: Linux Mint’s file management includes advanced batch renaming with insertion, removal, and case conversion. Windows 11 lacks similar features.

    I don’t think the “some apps don’t work with Wayland” argument is particularly valid any more. The vast majority do, and most of those that don’t are outdated anyway. Gnome ships with it by default and KDE is really close to that point as well.

    There really shouldn’t need to be any debate whether to implement it or not at this point- clinging on to X11 is just delaying the inevitable.
