You get a lot of the same tools as Mint, such as Flatpak instead of Snap but with no Flatpak packages pre-installed. On top of this, it also pre-installs WINE 9, Google Chrome instead of Firefox, and quite a few smaller quality-of-life tools such as the Transmission BitTorrent client, a download manager, an image viewer, and more.

Google Chrome??? Why?

Is transmission the one without a gui? I'll never get to that level

[-] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Transmission is the torrent client, no?

Yeah there was one on a linux thread before that didn't have an interface. Craziness

lol!

I'm old and I've been using command lines for a long time. Especially in Linux. Heck I've used a terminal based web browser! (Links or Lynx? I can't remember the name.)

Yes, both links and lynx are terminal based browsers. I remember using them to browse the Gentoo handbook when trying to do my first install.

Thanks for the nostalgic flashback.
