Linux Mint as been in development for over 15 years. Its good for them to get some press coverage and positive attention.

As far as I can tell most people switching to Linux Mint are fairly happy with the experience beside some minor Linux quarks.

      KDE is is designed to be customized at the cost of user friendliness. Cinnamon has a lot customization but it isn’t as overwhelming and is much more stable. It also is GTK which is nice.

        Yeah, great, you don’t like KDE. Good for you. What does it have to do with me liking KDE very much?

    I’ve been using Linux Mint Debian Edition for about a year now it’s worked almost flawlessly. I love it.

    Linux Mint has been my go-to distro for probably ten years. Just recently helped a friend transition from Windows 10 to Linux Mint and so far she’s been pretty happy with it. Thanks again Microsoft for your stupid hardware requirements for Windows 11. Makes it so much easier to get people to switch to Linux.

    Linux Mint is great, but is outdated. In my opinion the Mint team should definitely separate itself from Ubuntu and stop making duplicate applications… They spend too much time and resources to separate servers to avoid Snap. LMDE is a good distro. With a little more attention it can become something bigger.

      Linux Mint is not outdated, it always uses the up-to-date version of a supported LTS kernel. This is on purpose, to prefer stability over cutting edge.

      You may prefer cutting edge (ex. AUR) over stability, that’s fine, but that doesn’t mean Mint is out-of-date.

        Thank you for this. Im new to mint and Linux in general. After reading that comment I was concerned that mint wasnt safe because its old software.
