It’s easy to install, it’s Ubuntu based which means stable and a wide variety of software and support. Cinnamon looks beautiful in Mint and works perfectly. Installing a deb is a breeze and using the App Store is way easier than using YAST. The cli commands are now easy to understand or remember compared to apt.
Fedora usb creation is a nightmare and can potentially f up your bios if something goes wrong. DNF is also but easy to understand or remember compared to apt.
Gnome is too barebones for a first time user whereas Cinnamon is feature rich and is themed very well. Plus great wallpapers are included. The lock screen wallpapers are easily changed and look great too.
As long as there is no removed Nvidia card the driver installation tends to work perfectly.
Don’t use Nvidia people. They are a removed, unethical, don’t give a crap about Linux company. Use AMD.
And for Linux users who’ve been around longer, there’s Linux Mint Debian Edition which for us is even better because it’s not Ubuntu based but Debian based and stable.
I get the latest Firefox directly from Mozilla and any app I can’t find in Synaptics I can normally get in Flatpak. Works perfectly well for me. I highly recommend it.
It does some weird formatting to the usb stick. You literally have to use their tool to unformat it again otherwise it’s screwed. That’s been my experience.
I had an issue on my MacBook bios safety installing Fedora. Wouldn’t boot and even if I tried installing Ubuntu over it, still would not boot.
Had to reinstall Mac OS and have it repair the bios. Only after that could I get Linux installed and booting again.
I’m not sure what you mean by broken bios. If you has broken bios, you wouldn’t be able to reinstall Mac OS.
Also any formatting tool in any OS should be able to turn bootable USB stick back to storage only USB stick. Windows, Linux, Mac, Haiku, *BSD, original Unix. Anything.
Mac OS doesn’t install like a traditional OS. It downloads an iso from the cloud, stores it locally and then installs itself. It lets you open a terminal and I put in some commands to clear and restore the bios before installing the OS.
Normally any formatting tool should work on the USB but Fedora does something to the USB that prevents that. It definitely ruined a usb 3 drive I had and no amount of formatting would get it to work properly until I used their Fedora usb tool.

Yeah if only VR would work hassle free without Nvidia… At this point it became a Stockholm situation for me
Why shouldn’t VR work without Novidia?
I have to ask obvious question first. How?

I don’t know how they screwed it up but they did.

They are doing something weird.
