I can't believe I ignored this shit for years, this is the best OS I've used in my whole life.Top tier shit and anyone who says otherwise is a RETARD!!!
>>106961480>Top tier shit and anyone who says otherwise is a RETARD!!!Its mid.
>>106961480>Virtualbox?Nigga I'm happy that you try Loonix, but wtf.. install it on bare metal or kys
Mint is for retards.
Mint is the best distribution of Linux primarily because of Cinnamon, the premiere Linux desktop environment developed in house by the Mint Team
>>106961505Gotta test them before I dedicate to one. Most of these seem way too autistic for normal PC use. I might throw one on an old PC or laptop for fun though.
For me, it's the Update Manager, the Software Center and it just working
>>106961622If you enjoy outdated software and flatpacks, sure why not.Try installing the latest nvidia drivers along with cuda tools (13) and come back to tell how well it is just "working".
>>106961480>virtualboxtopkek, what kind of a joke is this
>>106961480>no wayland>no hdr>ancient kernel too new for my hardware>no scrolling wmit's unusable trash
>>106961718>ancient kernel too new for my hardware*too old
>>10696172722.2 comes with 6.14
>>106961733I have a lunar lake thinkpad, yeah 6.14 is at least usable, its not 24.04 LTS kernel which is just broken on lunar lake
>>106961718> no waylandi like my pc just like my neighborhood: tranny free.
My laptop with a QCWB335 wifi card keeps disconnecting from the internet after a few minutes, then remains undetectable until I plug my router off the wall. I'm running on Linux Mint. I haven't tried a different network yet so I'm not sure if this is my home router's problem or Mint.
>>106961750wow they live rent free on ur brain, chuddiejokes aside, wayland is just a better option, i don't need a 40 year old display server with tons of legacy shit acting as a very slow IPC between my input, compositor and kernel.
>>106961668
>>106961480i dont get the mint obsession, cinnamon is kinda trash compared to KDE IMO, even trash tompared to regular ubuntu gnome.if you want ubuntu's packages just get ubuntu
>>106961773> muh modernitystill cannot use share my screen in slack, i need to use the browser version for this
>>106961554Cinnamon is literally bloatware
>>106961480How do I get the Touchbar working in Mint? I found some directions but I am a linux n00b and not sure how to follow the instructions.
>>106961480Honest question, no bait or anything and some premises before:I am on Arch currently (been for 5 years, same system, no hopping or reinstalling) and had no issue or at least no major ones I couldn't fix in few minutes.So my question is- why would I use Mint over Arch? What does it give me that I do not have?I know it's based on ubuntu which I do not like because of it's company canonical.
>>106961480I personally considering ZorinOS 18. It looks pretty neat. Still wondering if in the future, considering that ChromeOS is going to introduce Android in their eco-system, even Zorin is going to introduce it natively, maybe in order to cover the Widgets part of the OS functionalities.
>>106961480it's usable but far inferior to windows or mac.>noo theyll disable updates and then youll have to buy new pcdont care havent updated in years
>>106962235No one will answer because they have no answer.They use Mint because they do not know how to use Arch and somehow blame Arch for them not knowing what they are doing.
>>106961614>Gotta test them before I dedicate to one.Test Debian instead.
Wait until you try Pop! OS COSMIC.
Mint Xfce is comfyCinnamon feels like a hobbyist project though
>>106963470Will do, I've tried a few branches from it but none were to my liking.
>>106961750rent free
>>106961480it's just ubuntu mate with a different set of wallpapers
>>106961480The battery life is shit on my laptop
>>106961718kernel version from march 2025 is ancient?
What's better for an ancient laptop, Mint Xfce or Cinnamon?I know Xfce is lighter, but I don't know how well Mint pulls it off
>>106961480
>>106961802Pedo retard. Type>nvcc --versionand see what happens.
>>106965254Search in my file manager is kind of ass. If i search something, click a folder, then hit the back button, the search becomes empty and trying to search again is just broken and i have to manually navigate back to the folder to be able to search again. Did they test this?
>>106961480>just discovered this thing you like>anybody more experienced than me is wrongbait used to be believable.
>>106965254Still wondering why in Win11 they have removed all those folder options that you can see in the ribbon menu.
>try mint to de-windows my life>all network adapters stop working for no fucking reason after updating I've gone for debian since then. Never had issues with it.
>>106961505Rest in peace, King Terry. Society failed you. We did not deserve you. You brought us Mr. God's Third Temple, and we ignored you, some even shut you down. You deserved better.
I only do a fresh install when I build a new computer, usually. Windows has worked just fine for that, can I do the same in Mint while still getting updates if I want to switch?
>>106965254KDE has both tags and comments and they index-able and search-able.Idiot.
>>106962235To be honest, I have no clue how to use Arch. I have tried few times. Manjaro as well and everything ends up messed up from me. Seeing how it happens to me only and there are millions of people using Arch normally I'd say the issue is in me.It is probably the same for all others except they pretend it is something else.Mint just works for me, no issues.
only thing that isnt debian, fedora or arch that is actually worth using
>I can't believe I ignored this shit for yearsI can however. wann'ah knowy why? IT SUCKS ASS
>>106961480>t. noob into linuxhave fun with your old kernel and drivers
>>106961480Based, it just werks
>>106966169show me a screenshot
eehhhhhh nothing it can do that Windows can't
>>106965254usecase?
>>106967284it's also searchable but im too lazy to record
>>106962235Basically what >>106966190 said.But don't poke to much or they will turn aggressive and invent random reasons.
It's definitely not for everyone but I think it's really good. I daily drive Mint and I have no regrets
>>106961480I don't like the color scheme. Mint green is an ugly color.
>>106961480its gud.
>>106961480Cool so what video games are playing on it?
>>106965225windows 7 is 1000% faster than any modern linux
>>106961480I'd consider it if the installer had a checkbox for a minimal install
>>106961480Can it play Vidya?
>>106965254Why does this webm trigger /g/ tards so much
>>106970578>>106970908currently in サイバーパンク @4k ultra no rt>>106969988so change it, literally two clicks in Themes settings panel
>>106971207>currently in サイバーパンクGay.
Does Cinnamon remember windows position yet?
How do you use rustdesk with wayland why deosnt it fucking work
i don't like linux it always looks cheap and unprofessional don't matter how much you rice it
>>106967284>>106967627I love how he shut the fuck up once you showed him
Why are you idiots using Mint when there are better option, like Arch? Just absolute Morons?Or just regular pajeets who finally learned kali is not daily driver?Most likely all of the above
>>106962235You would not. Mint is for people with no desire to read patch notes. That's what it comes down to. If you're already willing and capable of manually adjusting certain things if needed, Arch is superior. I personally don't want to do that. I want my system already pre-configured to what I need and updates not potentially break anything, which is why I chose Ubuntu Studio LTS years ago.
>>106971795I can count on my hand how many times patch notes were needed for me to read during last 5 years and I did not even read them and still managed with no issues.There are pre configured arch distroes, like CachyOS, EndeavourOS, Manjaro and others which do the hand holding for you like Mint does.
>>106971788This is why no one likes Linuxfags.
>>106971913I agree, most people have second thoughts when they see how most of them are and when they realize who they are. It associated bad things with GNU/Linux and then it spreads to others, like a meme.So GNU/Linux would greatly benefit from less people such as those filthy pajeets.
>>106966848>have fun with your old kernel and driversDo these things actually matter though?
>>106965893Terry was too pure to survive the post covid pozzing of society. God did him a foavor saving him from this hellscape shit hole
>>106972114Not in my experience, it's also factually untrueKernel 6.14 (March this year) can be chosen in the update manager and you can run whatever GPU driver you want like the very latest one direct from nvidia >>106971207
>>106972114If you don't use experimental versions you don't help FLOSS development. You might as well fuck off to Windows.
>>106967292Can Windows turn off all spyware?
>>106972390Turn off your internet and rip out the wifi card
>>106972114Performance increase>>106972359Factually wrong, newer kernels give improvements to performance almost always
>>106970908Not until you install earlyoom
>accckhtually gnu/systemd/linuxhmm
>>106961540Retard here. I hate mint. I daily Bazzite. Not even a gaymer.
>>106961505>baremetal in 2025I rather bareback your mom
>>106961718>no scrolling wmuse case?
>>106961540>Mint is for retards.Then I'm a happy retard because Mint has been great so far. Comfy and simple, plus far quicker/responsive than modern Windows.. I'm sure there are better distros but this suits my needs.
>>106972390I mean Linux is built into Windows so yeah
>>106972657>Performance increaseYeah but are we talking a 20% increase or a 0.1% increase. Like I only update shit when it actually does shit.>>106972367While I can understand this, I am not going to be a QA tester for free, I already do that shit for work I am not about to do that at home. I do respect those who do however.
>>106974188Incremental performance, depends from update to update.Like I've usually, so sometimes it does not, but it usually IS. Up to 9% in one case for my rig.Remember that CPU/GPU tiers bring 1-5% percent (or less often)So this is BIG.It plato-es at some point, depending of age of hardware but that just means it maxed it's performance.
