A few months ago I finished building my system and commented that I'd installed Mint and had been enjoying it for a week. Some guy felt that he needed to suggest a different distro to me (and actually got some upvotes from people agreeing with it).
I had JUST switched from Windows to Linux and had only been running for a week! CAN I RUN WITH ONE DISTRO FOR ONE FUCKING WEEK WITHOUT HOPPING ALL OVER THE DISTRO-SPHERE?! Holy shit. Just let me enjoy my system for 7 days without telling me I should change again.
I was shocked someone could be so obnoxious.
Mint is a really good choice actually. Glad you didn't pick Ubuntu. :)
Yup, it's an excellent pick for newcomers transitioning from Windows.
Opinionated Ubuntu and its snap bullshit, on the other hand...
For sure!
I mean, Mint is a great distro.
Have you tried Arch, btw?
As long as it was mint Debian then you are already family and have made a good choice.
I switched to linux 3 years ago. And started and stayed with pop_os. Why? Because Anthony at the time from Linus tech tips recommend it to me. Am I gonna switch? No. I use Nvidia btw.
PopOS seems neat, I like their window manager alot.
NGL sometimes you can only find the software you want as a snap, it sucks, but it's the price you pay for not using Windows or Mac. At the end of the day, it's Windows 11, OSX or Ubuntu for most folks outside of Lemmy. I really want to swap to Mint w Debian, but they don't have support for MATE out of the box. Maybe in a year or two. Hoping 24.04 LTS works well.
Debian has had MATE since forever. It's as simple as typing
Honestly you don't even need Ubuntu if you absolutely need snaps. You can install snapd on a lot of apt distros, or you can spin an Ubuntu container in Distrobox in a few seconds.
Im a total noob, just started using Linux, dual booting with mint and I've already learned to use snap
