      Why? It’s the cold hard truth. Mint was created as an Ubuntu alternative that would be prettier and appear more like windows. It has never had solid corprate backing or even pillars of the FOSS community working on it. It’s a hobby project and not even a unique one anymore. Just use a fedora, buntu, debian or suse spin for new people.

        The “cold hard truth” is that volunteers are more than up to stripping some the nonsense back off of ubuntu, and plenty of the people that made it good back in the day are involved with mint now. It’s no one’s favorite but this much hate for the beigest of distros is weird to me and your take on its origins is just plain wrong

          No. They are not up to it. It’s the #1 distro on Lemmy and it shouldn’t be.

          To be clear the only distro I hate is Manjaro, mint I only think about when people here remind me it’s popular. Downvote away, your oppinion is meaningless.
