    Mint if all you want is all your shit to work. Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) if you also have ideological issues with microsoft’s involvement in the israeli genocide of the Palestinian people

      I’m not sure I understand for Linux Mint is tied to the Israel-Palestinian conflict.

      Linux Mint isn’t affiliated with Microsoft. (Not even a little)

        it’s not about linux mint, it’s about its base, Ubuntu which also isn’t involved with microsoft, but its parent company, canonical is guilty of providing similar aid as ms does. so if you’re boycotting microsoft, you should boycott canonical, too. thus, LMDE being my recommendation in that case. LMDE is developed by the same people who make Mint. i was never trying to imply they’re the proplem

          That makes more sense

          Thanks for the explanation. I personally don’t see Linux Mint as supporting Ubuntu since they are independent and not financially tied but I think that comes down to personal choice.

            i contribute code back a lot so any distro i use will end up getting free labor from me so it works a little different for me. like you said, it’s a personal choice
