I’d give it a shot if i was on the lookout for something new, but I see absolutely no reason to switch from Mint.

If you have cutting edge hardware, this might be an issue. But most people don’t and for them Mint will work just fine. If you want cutting edge, don’t use Mint. But that’s not their focus at all. Mint is for people who just want their computer to work with minimal hassle.
You must! The Penguin demands it!
It’s outrageous! You must start a crusade to make them see the error of their ways and start using Arch!
Rage bait and contrarianism are unfortunately pretty effective business models on YouTube. The less exposure we give people like that, the better.
Python is very good for working with JSON. Definitely will get you there faster than awk for anything not completely trivial.
The way I understand is that they’re confused about the difference between test flights and operational missions.
What exactly is your point here?
I think their approach is pretty solid. For beginners, it’s probably better to only see the verified FPs. More advanced users can change the preference. There is simply no ideal solution in this case, until we get more verified FPs
The easiest way to preserve an existing Windows installation is to take out the drive it’s on and put in a new drive for Linux. That way if you want to go back, you can just swap in the old drive again. Installing M.2 or SATA drives is very easy and 100% doable even if you’re not an expert.
Exactly.
Uh, Turkey, we need to talk…
I would never try to convince anyone to use Linux. If they’re happy with Windows, let them use Windows.
It’s pretty disconcerting that we’re the second worst after the US.
That seems to be the best there is in this category right now. Just pretty expensive.
No. It based on Ubuntu but without all the bullremoved. .deb ist standard and flatpak is also built in. Whenever both are available, you get a choice right from the software manager. Mint is very much its own thing and great if you want to ditch Ubuntu.
Seriously? Wow. That moves the whole thing into asshole territory. I’m glad I went with a distro that prioritizes not being removedty.
Not really. I’ve tried a lot of scanning apps but they were all grotty. If you scan a lot of documents, decent scanning software is pretty important. You can’t just fiddle around for a few minutes with every page.
Any info on pricing yet? This is one I’d consider too, if it doesn’t cost a fortune.
But that’s a legitimate reason for it to exist. A lot of people have reservations towards Linux because they’re concerned about the gaming experience. Making it smooth and easy is a good thing. Having said that, I just installed Steam on Mint and everything ran just fine. I only play Steam games on that machine, though.
