    Nah. Mint users aren’t babies, they’re the most everyman user. You probably won’t find them on a linuxmemes page because they installed it out of frustration with co-pilot and don’t want to know what an operating system is.

    Ubuntu is accurate. Arch is accurate and also how dare you. Fedora is slander. That’s linus torvalds’ distro you’re dissing. Debian… Gonna go out on a limb and say nobody uses debian on a personal machine. If its installed on something its your set it and forget it machine. The webserver that serves your neocities ass looking website. or your company’s email server. Its not for old people, its for old machines. Or machines that plan on growing old.

      Sending this comment from a Debian desktop system. And it’s running oldstable, because that’s how I roll!

      Debian is for when the other distros have failed you and you’re too old to deal with that shit anymore.

        Specifically, Debian is for when you’re sick of Canonical’s bullshit but don’t want to learn another package manager or start dealing with rolling releases.

        Also, Raspberry Pi OS is Debian, too, and that’s literally for children.

      All of my personal machines run Debian.

      EDIT: Well…I have Termux installed on an Android device as well. I guess that could be considered a Linux distro.

      Mint user and the image is perfect. This is because Mint allows me to rest like a baby that has all their needs met, free from anxiety.

      I was a mint user, a year later I am a void user and am trying other distros on other machines and plan on trying more OSes. First thing I did was learn to customize my cursor with custom icons I had from windows which took me days because I didn’t know how to use the terminal. I somehow used flatpak wrong???

      I am sure it is different for long term users but it was a good start and fun learning experience. I mean don’t get me wrong I am still dumb but a bit less.

      Linux mint user here, I’m using it because I can’t be bothered to spend my precious few spare time on fixing things my OS decided to break. I want something that just works, and mint fits the bill, and comes out of the box with most of the things set up how I like.
