Linux Mint has a Debian edition available, I’m curious about that one.

It is a long term release based on Debian so that if Canonical goes down someday and Ubuntu falls, they will have a fallback base distro to remain on.

BlackPit,

I’ve tested over 40 Linux distributions over a long span of time, but I’ve never tried Mint. The reason being that all three times I’ve read something nice that inspired me to try it again the download hashes don’t match, and we find out their servers were compromised. How’s that going?

OsrsNeedsF2P,

In 5+ years of OSS, only once have I even heard of hashes not matching and a build server being compromised, and it was fixed within 30 minutes. It was also a very big deal.

Basically, what you’re saying and what a quick search on Google shows seems to suggest user error.

BlackPit,

Lol, well there’s no way I can “prove” it not having taken screenshots and archived them. It’s been well over five years since the last time. I’ll save you the humble boast, but no user error here regarding verifying ISOs.

Mio,

Why don’t Windows/MacOS need snaps/flatpak?

Because every app gives it’s own installer and annoying “Please update!” popup

Creatortray,

I’m really enjoying zorin right now.

As an Arch user, I love Mint. On my wife’s laptop. So I can focus on breaking mine.
