Linux Mint's user base is all boomers who want an old version of Windows and would be better off actually using an old version of Windows but they bought into "muh security" or another vague belief about why Linux is better even though they have no interest in actually learning the Linux way of doing things and just want everything to work as it did in Windows XP. At least with Ubuntu you learn the Linux way of doing things and the OS is grounded in the Linux philosophy even though it holds your hands through a lot of things. Half of Mint's user base, on the other hands, would be terrified of doing as little as the most basic of stuff in the terminal. Mint has no purpose of existence rather than cater to people who would probably be better off using Windows XP because that's what they actually want.
>>107659508Making Linux approachable to new users is... le bad!
>>107659534how are you making it approachable when no program from Windows can run on it?
>microshart shill thread #343844583425938081234 billionit's all so tiresome
>>107659559cry to mods to remove it as ragebait instead of accepting the truth that linux was ruined by it own userbase
>>107659555boomers don't use software that doesn't run on linux, all they use is a web browser to check their emails a photo viewer to look at family albums, and 99% of software made in the last 10 years for windows doesn't even run on XP anyway, unless you do some kind of tinkering to get new programs to work, which goes against your idea of "Linux is too hard for boomers so they should use windows" (getting Windows XP to work with modern software and hardware is more difficult than using Linux Mint)you're a retarded shill, most likely hired by microsoft to encourage people to do anything but consider leaving the Windows cattle farm
>>107659599You cant compute that you are marketing your OS as Windows replacement as "privacy first" to people who dont give a shit about piracy, and that you think that lack of users on Linux is not because its graveyard OS for productivityFine, do this 30 more years, we know how first 30 did.
any zoomer talking shit needs to realize your Arch is easier to use every step of the way than the shit we grew up with. nobody under 40 is a real computer guy and never will be.ALso, Mint is the best distro by light years
>>107659508Mint isn't that different from other ditros. Most distros all ship xfce, cinnamon, kde etc.. that are all "Windows-like". >user wants windows-like experienceThe genenal Windows GUI (95) is brilliant. It became a hit for a good reason. Wanting a windows-like experience isn't a boomer thing.
>>107659508I like the cinnamon desktop even though I don't use it as much anymore. I still have a fully functioning cinnamon desktop I can login to at any time. I appreciate the windows 7x behavior.
>>107659508Exactly this actually, Windows becoming too terrible for me after 7 is exactly what made me interested in Linux for the first time, and Mint feeling like home was what made me prefer it compared to other distributions that I tried.
>>107659534How is Cinnamon more approachable than Plasma when you can't even right click on a hard drive in Nemo?
>>107659508correct I don't care about "ricing", wayland, or rolling distros. I can change the wallpaper to the anime girl of my choice, listen to music, and play ace combat. It is peak comfy like win xp and 7 used to be. I guess you "need" more.
>>107659508>give a device to a boomer with internet access but all actual browser don't work on your goated wimdows XP>lol lmao muh security this obscure fork of this fireflx fork is perfectly fine just don't be a retard lolI will just install Mint on the boomer laptop
>>107660641what a chad, I wish I had frens like you
