Y’all’s, I don’t want to tinker with my OS. I don’t wanna think about my OS. I just want my OS to work, mind it’s fucking business and leave me alone.
That’s exactly why I run Linux. If you want something that just keeps running the basically the same way for like 20 years, that’s your option.
May I introduce you to OpenBSD? Where uptime is measured in years.
Calm down Satan
No, the devil’s OS is FreeBSD
I’m 100% in this camp, ive used Pop!_OS now for years and it’s never given me any grief! One PC has had it installed for almost 6 years and it still runs flawlessly.
I’ve been on Garuda for years now, and despite choosing an Arch derivative, I have zero (0) desire to ever change any kind of config, and I will never understand the desire to do so. I need my PC to actually work.
But have you considered paying for linux pro extreme max?
Bruh if I could pay a modest yearly subscription to a company and get actual professional personal support for Linux and not have to roll the dice on snarky forum comments, I unironically would.
That was the whole Redhat business model when they just started.
You can pay me, I got you fam
thats why i use linux too
Bazzite has pretty much been this for me for the past couple years
This. That’s why I have stuck with Mint for almost a decade now. It’s the perfect workhorse: it fits my workflow, is stable as heck, just quietly does what it needs to do and gets out of my way the rest of the time. Hence, I don’t see why I should switch to anything else.

If you have any problems with Blueman not letting Bluetooth controllers work, install KDE system settings. Don’t know why that works but it does.
I will try that out. I usually directly go terminal
At the end of the day for new and casual users, support wins. Ubuntu has the largest community of support, making Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu while having a more elegant variety of UI, making it a good compromise. Good choice.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t Mint Debian based these days?
Ubuntu is Debian based, so yes.
Regular Mint is based off of Ubuntu, which is Debian based itself. However, it is somewhat beholden to the Ubuntu way of doing things.
They do have a version that uses a plain Debian base, so they’re not reliant on Canonical. That version is LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition).
i thougt its both, because they have a debian version
Where my debian as desktop homies at?
Still waking up and making breakfast. They’re perpetually 5 hours late.
It’s a simple life. All you need for an OS, and no more. Only issue is the stupid installer. Disk partitioning is like handling a gun blindfolded.
Next month will be two years in Mint exclusively. I have no complaints.
Well, I do miss the big preview window in File Explorer, but otherwise, I’m happy to be rid of Windows.
Me who just have install Ubuntu.
Linux Mint is the gateway penguin.
Not trying to win contests. Just glad it ain’t winders.
Marduk I don’t know why you chose your username but it is my favorite of all the Mesopotamian/Babylonian I forget gods so I love it when I see your name pop up. First prize! :3
I’ve used it forever. 90’s or early 00’s. Started with pazuzu from i think final fantasy or similar game.
Then was thinking of ancient gods as well. Fight between Marduk and tiamat.
Just stayed with that.
Well glad i can bring happiness where i can. Have a great day.
Unless you’re playing with your OS, than being vanilla is what you want.
even by just becoming a linux user, you are helping making it more mainstream
Me but with Kubuntu instead of mint
I use cachy os because I like my pc to go fast as fuck boy
I also use “Script kiddie Arch”, BTW.
Lmao my dumbass can’t use regular arch
I daily drive FreeBSD and have tinkered with Plan 9 and Haiku.
My Linux desktop (for gaming, DRM, and Linux-specific stuff), my wife’s laptop, the kids’ laptops, and our two media PCs all run Mint. It’s great.
I noticed that little quote there btw.
