Linux Mint

I’m curious, why would you not recommend Mint?

Kory,

Linux Mint and Pop!_OS are the most recommended beginner friendly distros that “just work” in my experience. That being said, before you install, you can try out the look and feel here: distrosea.com

Oh I see, so it’s more about the DE, thanks for clarifying.

Is there a text version of this interview?

Looking to make the switch

Hi everyone, looking to make the switch from windows. I’m reasonably technically apt but not a programmer by any means. I’ve been doing some homework on which distro I would like to use and pop_os kinda feels like the right direction. I’m running an Nvidia 3060TI on a Ryzen 5600 chip set on an Asus tuf motherboard. Any...

I’m getting “The server returned this error: couldnt_find_post.” - what was the comment about?

Hey 👋 dear Linux Community,

I'm still kinda new to Linux (started using this year 😅) I already made it to my main OS, even if I still missing some things which I used on Windows, anyway. What I wanted to ask you guys, what recommendations do you have for Linux Mint (Cinnamon)? In terms of security, optimization, (a way to make the UI looking modern ;-;) and privacy? I would be very interested in what you do guys to optimize your Linux setup :) I'm pretty technical, so there is nothing which could overwhelm me (probaly).

Thx! 🤍

Oh thank you for this! I could only find the Gallery with the search.

Great post, I especially enjoyed reading the comments on the different distros you’ve tried. I totally agree with the statement that (almost) everything can be done with Linux.

I am using Linux Mint because it was the first distro I’ve found that would get my weird WiFi on my old Laptop to work and so I ended up using it on my main machine as well. But I’ve recently looked around for something new. Not that I’m not happy with Mint, just out of curiosity. Been eying KDE Plasma for a while but not sure if I want to give up the convenience of knowing Mint quite well. And I had to switch distro cause Mint isn’t supporting KDE natively anymore. Or maybe I should just play around with some new themes for a fresh look :).

Yes, KDE Plasma is a DE which is not supported by Linux Mint anymore. So I had to switch distros too.
