Is Linux Mint actually the straight White man's distro of choice all memes aside? I haven't even used Mint in years but if I had to pick the distro with the most spiritually White hetero energy and community I would have no choice but to choose Linux Mint.
I can remember witnessing a troon promoting almost every distro under the sun, pretending they are superior to others because they use it, that they have achieved something that shows off their high intelligence. But never with Mint.
I've seen many distros fall into controversy because of their devs needing to express political opinions. Never heard of Mint get into controversy about anything.
It. Just. Works.

Truly, Linux Mint is the beginning and end game of Linux.

1440p is the white man's resolution and Mint has appalling fractional scaling, so no. It's a distro for 1080p turd worlders and 4K bugmen.
>>
>>109037533
Maybe, but they use two shitty DEs as the default options and essentially it's just an attempt to de-shittify Ubuntu. Might as well just use Debian
>>
>>109037574
>Literally Arch but maintained worse
Kek. Fartix is just a protest distro that exists only to seethe at Arch and systemd. No Arch based distro is for the White man and no one still has valid arguments against systemd. If you really don't like systemd then just use Gentoo.

Why dont Linux developers finish their projects ffs. They try to make an OS with the linux kernal, but it is out too early from the oven. Cant someone make a proper OS with the kernal, desktop environment and everything, instead of us having to glue microservises together.

It's shit. And that's not even to mention Cinnamon which is disgusting soulless flat garbage slop. They even discontinued their KDE version.

We use Artix now, as other anons have correctly commented.

>>109037704
It takes a lot of time to finish a modern OS, anon. It's better to release it early so other people can contribute to it and get it closer to being polished faster.

Mint is easier and therefore better

Yes. Dont let the glowies PSYOP you out of a good thing. You want you to stay as a windows golem or try some obscure (((cool distro))) that is more of a pain in the ass and give up so that you write linux off.
It is the easiest, most straight forward no nonsense aproach to getting into Linux. Literally all you need.

Plus you can change the font size instead which works very well as a compromise if you must have scaling and you are having trouble with the fractional scaling (I do admit that it could be better)

Or you can use Artix that is only good parts from Arch without bad parts, no GNOME, XLibre, Dinit, no systemd, no politics etc. You know it is good when everybody is having emotional panic and only thing they can do is say "fart" and advertise their political BLM distro.

Not being up to date is the smart man choice and with Mint you have that. Arch trannies are being raped this instant with malware. You only really need the latest web browser you use and that's about it.

White man here, been on Mint for 2 years.
I have no issues at all, and any issues I've had previously were general issues with my understanding of what Linux is that I could solve easily.
It quite literally just works, you can turn on your computer every day and it works as well as it did before, maybe even better with newer kernel versions coming out and being supported. I've used other distros on my laptops and I run a bunch of stuff on a home server with ubunutu server, but Mint remains on my main machine because it is without a doubt the most rock solid computing experience I have ever had.

Linux mint is garbage.

Why is 4chan so obsessed with racial politics? Linux has nothing to do with that. Most of the programmers are European, Indian, Chinese, Brazilian, etc. If you wanted a "White" platform, you'd use macOS because it's made in California. Oh wait, they have Asians and Hispanics there. Oops! Is Stormfront going to make a distro now?

it's even easier to install and set up, has a more up-to-date cinnamon version and more packages/"apps" installed by default. i prefer it because it's more plug-and-play than regular debian, while keeping its solid base

Mint's got some tools for a better experience out of the box, like codecs and nonfree repos, flatpak support and so. Also LMDE's version of Cinnamon is more up to date than Debian's, if you like that.

I don't see a practical reason to change from Mint to LMDE, yet.
But LMDE is a perfectly fine distro, basically just Debian with Mint's tools and DE. I don't think it'll get abandoned or discontinued any time soon. If anything, I'd bet Mint's team will focus on it more and more as Ubuntu is rapidly becoming a project too separated from Linux, as time goes on it'll be harder and harder to keep Ubuntu forks sticking to Linux philosophies.

Racial identity is the only thing they have, even though they're nothing like what they define Whites to be. The notion of having to prove your worth fucked them up so bad they decided they'll LARP as the maintainer of Western Civilization on the Internet where nobody knows what they actually are like. They convince themselves everyday that they're no different from Einstein or Tesla and then they do nothing but rot in their rooms year after year.

Completely average or below average whites are still much better qualified to help keep civilization afloat in some small capacity than low IQ, high time preference third worlders who can't plan ten minutes into the future, much less to prevent themselves from starving a year from now (they rely on wypipo to remedy this in spite of all their seethe toward them)
