>better gaming performance than CachyOS>more stable than Arch>more user friendly than Ubuntu>cooler name than distros like FedoraWhy is it more niche than dedicated Gaymerslop?
Normalfags are conditioned to believe a product dedicated to 1 specific thing is inherently better than something generalizedSo if a normalgroid is going to go through all the trouble of installing Linux (something they already see as a gargantuan task like climbing mount everest) of course they are going to pick Gaymer OS 0.69 which promises to make their game run fast, rather than a generic stable desktop system that can do everything including games.>But it's even /g/ users/g/ is full of normalfags
if mint had an anime girl named cinnamon-chan or something /g/ would worship it like christ
garbage like Arch and Arch based distros do more damage to the overall image of linux than any shill could ever do, most of the complaints about linux i read here or outside in the internet is 90% of the time because arch or some garbage distro based on it, this place forgot the shitshow that it was when manjaro was popular
>>109624642>better gaming performance than CachyOSI'm sure you aren't the resident mint shill and have proof of this.
>>109624673anime girl makes your tech faster and stronger
>>109624642>better gaming performance than CachyOSoh cool, well being /g/ i cant wait to see the performance graphs that anon has with real-world reproducible results.cant wait to see them. ive seen graphs like before back in the day when the real peformance gains could come form gentoo and anons all over the board posting results. i dont see any results here yet though. oh well, im sure you will post them op.
>>109624642I use mint. It's greatThe only problem is it is Ubuntu based. But they have the foresight and made LMDE for when the time comes. They have sound judgement. Until then, I think it is a solid distro>>109624673Well there's Mintchan
>gamingwho gives a fuck about gayming? it is a surrogate activity that kills your time and soul. imagine playing gaymes instead getting footjob from your qute gf. virgins are miserable people
The only distro anybody should be paying attention to is Fedora.Mint is too old just like Ubuntu LTS and Debian most of the time and Clem is a slow faggot. Canonical doesn't even know what it wants Ubuntu itself to become either.Arch breaks all the time, and no, just because it works on your machine doesn't magically make it better.The only reason why gaymer distros are even relevant is because of SteamOS, and as soon as Gabe realizes how much of a waste of money and time that is and abandons it, everyone will stop working on them just like all other FOTM distros before them.Yes, this is a Fedora shill post. Go ahead and cry about it, you know I'm right no matter how hard you cope. Red Hat has made Linux functional for once, there's a reason why Linus uses it himself.

>>109624642It's because Mint just works and in the retarded Linux space, just works isn't good enough, they want shit broken, it's kinda like car guys, they go flaccid when they see a Honda Civic, but a Subaru that's rumbling loudly and smoking from the exhaust? They're hard as diamonds even though that car will ruin their life.

Linux Mint would be more popular if it wasn't known as a "beginner friendly" distro. Modern tech retards refuse to use anything that isn't at least "moderately advanced" because they don't want to "lose aura" by using "easy" Linux. It's all tryhard bullshit
>>109624869Grown up faggots are addicted to their phones too. Especially shorts and reels.
>>109624642>looks like shit>no wayland, even elementaryOS implemented it before them, and their team is minuscule compared to Linux MInt teamthis is why
>>109624642Ok. So i tried cachy, specifically for the VRAM function they provided - it made no real difference to my perceived experience in a game. So i went back to win10 IoT.But seriously, the choice will always be base arch or base debian. You only use spins if you want some functionality or feature that those spin devs are working on (the cachy example is perfect).It's been this way forever guys, stop trying to reinvent the wheel.
>>109624957>no waylandoh NO not my shitty broken ass compositor oh nooooo what will i ever do with multiple crashes a week
>>109624642I still think LMDE is better, it really just needs the Mint version of their kernel manager to be perfect. LMDE also has more up to date packages. It's really just debian but without the retarded delay the mint ubuntu version has with updates. They waste so much time removing all the ubuntu crap, why not just use LMDE instead?

>>109625112It's based Anon, I like the XFCE rat desktop, but even the full cinnamon idles at barely over 1GB of RAM and it's windows-like, so anyone can get used to it.
mint always seemed silly to me. you're basically just using ubuntu but with extra steps
>>109624882Lurk more
>>109624642>better gaming performance>look inside>fails basic cpu scheduling resulting in constant cpu bottlenecks compared to winblowsunironically it is unusable for gaming, even just running a GBA emulator in retroarch while playing a youtube video has this POS struggle on my i9 9900X. And sure you can micro manage every single fucking process with taskset -c, but at that point I'd just rather not.
>>109624642>better gaming performance than CachyOS
>>109624642>Why is it more nicheBecause it uses Cinnamon and most people want their distro to use their preferred DE ootb rather than swap over post-install. If Mint had a KDE option it would rapidly overtake downloads of their Cinnamon and XFCE (lmao) isos
>>109624655>Normalfags are conditioned to believe a product dedicated to 1 specific thing is inherently betterIf this were true, everyone would be using Unix-based operating systems that adhere to the original concept where there were 50 million small tools that each did 1 thing and you piped them together. But normalfags hate this. They want one tool that does everything, that's why all software is bloated monolithshit.
>>109624674There's nothing wrong with Arch itself. It explicitly markets itself as something for power users. It's the fault of everyone trying to use Arch as a base for a desktop that leads to this shit. Arch even has a FAQ page right on the front page of the wiki comparing it to other distros and give new Linux users advice on what they should use (not Arch). Arch can't do anything about the natural human hubris to want to be cool and use something tryhard when they should be using boring and more complete out of the box. It even recommends Mint.Arch also can't do anything about the fact that using something you build from the ground up requires you to read and most people skip the reading.https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_compared_to_other_distributions#Beginner-friendly
>>109625659>XFCE (lmao)Dilate you troon
>>109624642>so out of date they had to release HWE isos>when using cinammon games break due to the compositor>upgrading to new versions is so unreliabe, and ends up more trouble than an arch or gentoo installYou can keep that shit to yourself. I'd rather use anything, even ubuntu over it.
I want to buy an LG Gram and put mint on it
>>109626404Based, ultrabooks deserve Mint
I have a tiny M720q and run Mint on it. Works great and I can play games on it from better times.
>>109626489>low power coffee lakeSounds comfy Anon, I emulate old games with Mint on my Thinkpad T470 with two big ass so-dimms and it's a nice feeling.
>>109626516I installed a pcie riser to add a low form gpu into it. Im in the process of trying to find a compatible one.I have another that I run a plex server onThey are so cheap on ebay but usually stripped of partsI have a T460 as well. Love the little bastard
>>109624642Because they don't pay youtubers to promote them.I would not call Mint niche though.
>>109624642>better gaming performance than CachyOSWhy is this true:Do nvidia drivers work better since it's based on ubuntu?Does cachy not improve performance on 12th gen intel cpus?
>>109624642>I use mint instead of fedora because cooler name>pc crashesdo people really?
>>109624642>better gaming performance than CachyOSfor games that work, not many do
>>109626857it's not true because games do not work half the time
>>109624642>Garbage on top of garbage No thanks
>>109626892Well all the games I've tried worked on both systems. Including 1 multiplayer game, it's just that all of it ran better on mint.
I had nothing but problems trying to game on mint. I had zero problems trying to game on Fedora KDE.
I highly recommend to use debian KDE or gnome yes you have to like write a code on su - and make you super user usermod -aG sudo <USERNAME> but its stabilized so well its optimized and its easier compared to arch cachy is or any other distro not talking about mint or zorin BTW anyways just try Debian 13 you gonna love it but if you are an advanced user just use arch Debian and arch is supreme
>>109624674>>109626354i was never a power user and i used arch for a couple of years, until i became lazier and lazier with updating the systemi waited 4 months and now my lib32 repo is fucked up or something, or mine is not synchronized with the official onei don't even know everything is bustedmy fault though
for me its fedora KDE

>>109626206No because normalfags don't know or care about "le unix philosophy", it is over their heads and too abstract for them. What I am talking about is easy-to-understand product advertisements.

>>109632155Based Clem, just being a Mint user with how the OS is just feels antisemitic, it's nice.
>>109632164Being antisemitic is being anti Linux, anon.
>>109632179FOSS by it's very nature is anti Jewish Anon, making software on your own time and just giving out the source of what you made is the opposite of Jewishness.
>>109624642Mint package versions are all over the place, I'll stick to the latest Ubuntu release. 26.10 soon, should be good.
Whoever uses Mint, setup Timeshift. Holy fuck it’s a godsend.
>>109632761It is, Linux in general is generally quick to setup, and all my shit is redundantly backed up, but it's kinda nice just being able to restore everything as it is instead of going to the fucking software center after doing the install, and then changing whatever settings you needed etc.
>>109624642I like it because it actualy works, unlike your retarded meme distros. Bless Mint.
>>109632761How did you fuck up your install bad enough to need it?
>>109632761What for? I have it set up on arch and I've never used it. Hell, I only know it works in theory because the snapshots look correct.How would you ever need it on mint when even an arch tard can't find an excuse to actually boot into a snapshot?
>>109633032Timeshift saved me twice after I blindly copy-pasted stuff from Chatgpt into terminal and bricked my PC by installing conflicting sets of drivers (?)I just want to run pirated Photoshop goddammit. This is the only thing I miss from Windows
>>109633353Just the thought of having to install wine and a billion packages of libraries for compatibility would have me making some kind of backup.
>>109633364Is wine hard to install on mint or something? Literally just 1 command for me.
>>109633382 you need to install wine itself and a bunch of library packages. and for more compatibility, install the 32-bit packages
>>109625659>dizzing xfceelaborate. >KDE option would winIf i remember correctly, it used to have a KDE edition, but after starting the cinammon project fork of Gnome, they threw a pool for which DE's where the most used by their user's base and it the results were "xfce and mate" and so they stayed. I don't know, i also believe that in today's age, with KDE finally getting matured, by technical merits it would be probably the main desktop they would use for popularity standars, but they might be too commited to Cinnamon by this point and too far left behind by some other distros that do design their own version of KDE, like kubuntu and the other niche ones i can't remember, and that would take resources that may not come back from such work. It's already a pain with the wayland transition and stuff.
>>109624642>better gaming performance than CachyOSDo you have a single fact to back that up?
>>109633448That is so fucking confusing. Why are random libs installed manually? If it's just deps, that's not worth mentioning. Package manager handles that.
>>109624642I'm genually curious know, who uses Mate with Mint? outside of Cinnamon as mint's go to, xfce appreciation and practical use, i haven't seen that many people talking about Mate except when Ubuntu killed ubuntu-mate this year, so it startles me that Mint still offers it and maintains a custom edition with it, even though XFCE already covers the light-weight DE they offer.
>better gaming performance than cachyosHighly doubt it, maybe if you take into account less input lag from the compositor, but that's about it, cachyos with cinnamon and xorg is surely faster than mint.
Mint ships with retarded defaults that are garbage for gaming, and because mint is shilled as 'the beginner friendly distro' the first experience of Linux for tech illiterate retards is objectively a shit one.>no HDR>stuttering with mixed refresh>no multi display VRR>no fractional scalingMint isn't a beginner friendly distro, it's meant for destitute 1366x768 laptop ziggers. If you're new, just use any distro that ships with Wayland GNOME or Plasma and you're automatically better off. ESPECIALLY if you are tech illiterate.
>>109633032>>109633244Nta >>109633353, but I installed multiple DEs and then tried to uninstall them and got lots of bugs going back to Cinnamon.
>>109624655Yes this is like the people hating on pickup trucks and SUVs even though they are the most utilitarian vehicles.
>>109633517I started with mate, it was fine. Switched to Xfce, also fine. Switched to Cinnamon, its very good and the only DE anyone should use if you want the traditional desktop experience.
>>109633486I don't know. wine is weird and relies on a bunch of shit nobody tells you about. I remember one game wouldn't playback any BGM without installing the nonfree gstreamer codecs.
