    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

        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?

                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.

                    Ah, okay. I was wondering if some new thing I just hadn’t heard of. Thanks.
