i thought it was the pleb option but turns out it's the best one by far short of building your own OS
>>106441989damn right negro
agreed OP
>>106441989welcome home, white man
>>106441989OP here, sorry I meant to post the Ubuntu logo
>>106441989Still have geoclue spyware built in
>>106442592>everybody should switch to linux>NNNOOOOOO NOT LIKE THAT!you can't have both, nigger
>>106442592And what is bad about that?
>>106442592sorry but I'm not dealing with having to find and download drivers manuallysupport my hardware or fuckoff
>>106442466Ubuntu is the second best option
I've installed Mint, Kubuntu, and Debian in the past few weeks and Mint was by far the one with the least fuckery involved. Debian was okay, just took me a long while to install everything I need. Fuck Kubuntu though; wouldn't even start Virtualbox Windows VM for me amongst other dumb shit.I am grateful for Mint; it is smooth and lovely. Debian KDE is nice too though.
using it as we speak
>>106441989Mint has always been the distro I return to. When I spent a year distro hopping like an autist breaking my OS every other week like clockwork I could always count on Mint to just work out of the box. No driver install issues, no hardware incompatibility issues, no excessive terminal usage for basic functions, it really is the just werks of just werks distros.And now that I've settled down, stopped hopping, and use Mint full time I have to say it's only gotten better over the years. It'll be the distro Win10 users hop onto after their EOL hits in October and it'll welcome them with open arms and easy living. It'll guide you through your first Linux experience, will wish you goodbye if you decide to leave but will always welcome you back warmly like you never left. We love you, Linux Mint!
using at as we speak
>>106443499lmao! perfect!cheers mintybro
Any fix for the audio cutting out from time to time? Kinda annoying when I'm listening to dialog or music in games.
>>106443618Is that a common thing across Mint in general? never had it happen
>>106443618What normally works for me is to just go into my audio settings and switch off my headphones then back onto them. Mine are bluetooth so disconnecting and reconnecting also works.But I've never had the audio cut out while using my computer, it's only if I let it idle and come back to it that the audio will stop working.
>>106441989While i use my autistic arch build, i just recommend mint to anyone that ask, because it's like what ubuntu wanted to be before they turned into autistic retarded tablet shit.
I don't even care if it's called pleb, if it's what gets people to say fuck you to win11 then so be it
>>106441989You always hear people say Mint is a good "beginner" distro. But that's ridiculous. There's nothing beginner about it. It's a complete Linux system, just as powerful as any of the others. It just makes setup way less of a hassle and has a great overall selection of basic things that come preinstalled.
>>106443845Mint is terrifying because it's a "just werks linux".
>>106441989It werks fineFor me setting up the trackpoint on my X13G4 to actually be usable is how i learned to properly setup .cfg files and fine tuning mouse settings on any sort of debian based system.
>>106441989KDE Plasma 6 on Debian 13 actually supports fractional scaling.Until Mint gets that shit ironed out, it's painful to use on any setup with resolutions higher than 1920x1080.
>>106444113I should say: until Cinnamon DE gets that shit ironed out* I'm sure Mint with Plasma also JustWorks™
>>106441989whats the wallpaper from?
>>106441989That's nice but I'll stick to windows 10.
>>106444568LTSC and all right?
>>106444568I understand this attitude. I was the same way with Windows 7. But you have to realize: the clampdown on OS' is coming quick. Microsoft is absolutely going to figure out a way to rugpull you. Some kind of "secure gaming" certification, or a Google Play Integrity-esque requirement, or they may even just say "fuck it. if you're not a registered corporate account, you're getting forcible upgraded". It is in your best interest to get ahead of this and switch to Linux before you are scrambling at the last second. All shilling and bullshit aside, Linux is legitimately easy to use and stable these days - don't be fooled.
>>106441989The only thing I wish Mint/Cinammon had was a tiling feature similar to Ubuntu's (Tiling Assistant Extension). I've come to really depend on it, otherwise Mint really would be a no-brainer for me.I wonder how hard it is to write extensions for Cinnamon, maybe that's a project for sometime in the future.
Why do loonixtards hate the idea of a distro that just werks so much?
I lifted an old laptop destined to the trash at work and installed mint on it. I'm impressed, it works well, has a lot of QOL and is faster than my desktop at a lot of things despite being having 5% the compute. I need to list everything I use because switching on my main computer looks interesting.
>>106441989>best one by far>not ZorinOSliar
>>106441989Looks ugly
>>106447582Isn't Zorin still on 22.04? It takes real effort to be more outdated than Debian.
>>106441989What did you just think it just a meme?
>>106447582>paying for Linux
>>106443668Lots of people complain about it but I've never experienced a problem with it. Probably something hardware-specific.
>>106443845It turns out that a lot of the time, making things for beginners doesn't actually fuck things over for competent users. Of course sometimes it does, but not always. And better to dump the problems on the people who know how to fix them and will just grumble a bit.
>>106441989I remember when Ubuntu and Gnome completely shit the bed years ago with Gnome 3 and whatever the fuck Canonical's replacement was and Mint came out of nowhere to pick up the slack. Their reputation as the "pleb option" should be a badge of honour.
>>106442584Then how do I remove it?
>>106441989give me one meaningful difference between it and ubuntu. why would i not just get ubuntu
>>106449480No one likes GNOME
>>106441989the best
>>106441989It's based on Debian so just use Debian.
>>106441989my first distro for the last month or so, don't even notice I'm on linux for the most part. Question I have is can you still do ricing on Mint? Or do you need Arch for that? I want to get into this.
sorry, i want to use the most update software that doesnt take a billion years to get updates for. I'll use tumbleweed. Mint blows ass!
>>106445588You've been saying this since windows vista and yet windows is still the only usable os.
>>106441989It would be perfect if it offered a KDE spin.
>>106447430makes it harder to provide tech support and develop the things that matter.It works because it's a bunch of layers around the same thing, except now when there's a problem we need to know the exact system configuration.
