    Most people haven’t heard of zorin OS. People used to Mac and windows should try it. It has its own app store with all the apps needed by a regular Joe.

      I tried Mint about a year ago, and one of the things I really didn’t like was having to get my software from some appstore. It seemed very limited. I’d much rather just be able to download an executable and install it that way. Feels like I have more control over what I can actually use my pc for.

        There are like 15 ways to install software in Mint. The app store is just for people who don’t like to Google or who are scared of breaking something

          In that case people are shit at explaining it. I tried googling it back then, and all I could get was dumb answers that didn’t actually give an answer to the questions.

        …hey, I’m a newb to Linux but I tried Mint and don’t they have like two-three app managers plus they can install .deb files? Like, .deb and .rpm are basically Linux take on .exe installers.

        That comes from using Linux for, overall, a week.
