Why is everyone moving to Mint?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Mint is pretty good at "it just works" thing and has a very friendly UI. It also comes with a few very handy tools developed in house by the Mint team (though these can be installed on other Debian/Ubuntu based distros). It's usually high on the list of recommended distros for people new to Linux or who just need general purpose computing without a lot of fuss.

Because I had experience with Ubuntu in the past & wanted to give mint a try.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Seconding this. Along with the fact that Ubuntu wouldn't work properly when I tried it. I had an issue with the installer that prevented me from downloading anything. So I tried mint and it just worked.

How are you finding it so far?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

So far I like it. All I want from my operating system is to just work & not spy on me/be secure.

Mostly because it's similar enough to Window's GUI, while not being Microsoft.

Makes sense then, thank you.
