Linux Mint gang rise up! (Because apparently we're at the bottom of the Linux world).

    hahaha fr!

    (full disclosure: I'm using debian myself rn but I want to get my folks to switch to Linux and figured they would like an easy start. And Linux Mint is fine Linux, all the haters are just poser hehe)

    Mint is designed for stability, which is great ... until you need drivers included in the latest kernel.

    I had to switch to Fedora 44 for PCVR.

    Having to occasionally chase the latest kernel (which you can get in Mint if needed) is one of the reasons I switched away, but overall, I still recommend it... That and wanting modern KDE that isn't an afterthought.

    If you're content with Cinnamon, though, it's an excellent choice overall

    I absolutely love Linux Mint. But then once I tried regular old Debian with KDE Plasma, I knew that was home.

    What's the difference? Isn't there this new fancy gui for mint coming up too? So many questions, would be glad for hints and tips!

    that's* exactly what I'm using but I can't tell you anything why it's good or better. It's just "easy" to configure, to use, idk. It's probably a Linux setup like (almost) all the other ones, but I just stumbled across it and settled 🤷

    *debian stable with kde plasma
