    I went with Mint recently as an initial attempt at linux. It’s clearly not the right distro for me, even a little bit of effort and I would surely find a better option. Still, my bar for success was just “better than windows”. I hit that easily, so I’m very happy and probably going to coast on Mint for quite a while.

    It’s so nice not having forced updates, or “Yes/Remind Me Later” popups, or stupid AI features I constantly have to turn off like I’m playing whack-a-mole. My OS is just the same every time I log in. You hear that?… Silence…

      What are your use cases? I run a different distro on each of my machines. For example, my first linux machine is a server with Mint on it. I daily drive garuda and I bought a cheap laptop that Antix easily revived.

    Haha, as if I was just sitting there, content with my choice of OS instead of telling everyone how much better Linux is every chance I get!
