minus-square@Magisterlink1•11 months agoI used it when it became super popular, I installed Mint/Cinnamon, after a few months I switched to MX Linux Xfce and using it for 5+ years now. Mint is polished for new users, not power users.
minus-square@agent_flounderlinkEnglish2•11 months agoCurious what things you found less polished for power users? My approach is: use the GUI if it’s easy, otherwise, use the command line. Is there some level of power user beyond that? Using cat to write kernel modules in binary and load on the fly? (I kid…)
