From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Linux Mint. People praise it as the perfect Window replacement yet when I tried it for a week, it didn't do anything better than default KDE Plasma Desktop. And since the devs haven't even started to work on Wayland support, the Distro will soon fall way behind.
I use Plasma and like it. I wouldn't have stuck around or really got started if it wasn't for Mint.
It might. Then we can still switch. For the time being it works just fine. The maintainers are a bit conservative for good reasons though. Mint is supposed to just work and for the most part it does just that.
I hated Cinnamon, I tried to like Mint. but it's a botched patched Ubuntu
