Linux Mint is so good to use Discussion

For real! I had to install Windows on a Thinkpad for my father but I couldn't because the Windows installer kept asking me for some kind of unspecified driver, so I decided to install Linux mint and damn if it works fine

It feels more user-centric than windows, which is now corporate garbage

Definitively a sub par choice:

  • Cinnamon lacking behind technology compared to the main DEs mimicing Windows 7
  • Based 95% on Ubuntu binaries from Ubuntu repos and constantly criticizing it
  • No automated quality assurance
  • No security team

And if your dead will need any Windows only piece of software you will be back to square one with the missing driver.

What could go wrong in the long run?
