i have been using mint (cinnamon) too for like a year and a half. every now and then i try another distro and a few more, but i always land back where i started. it even looks pretty with the “sweet dark v40” gtk theme.

yeah, I’m the person 🙈

mint cinnamon because on my system it has no major issues and everything is easy to configure. i don’t have a lot of spare time so i can’t spend hours or even days troubleshooting why something won’t install or run. most other distros have been annoyingly buggy or too difficult to set up.

accurate. that’s me.

rpm fusion guide was a tad confusing for me and my rtx 30 series wasn’t listed so i didn’t know what to install. i did find a good guide after some trial and error and a full reinstall.

i have used nobara in the past, and i quite liked it and would have kept it but it had (and still has) this weird issue when i suspend my pc and/or turn off the monitor (oled tv), it won’t get signal anymore until i reboot.

anyway for now i ended up going back to mint for the 6th time and everything works so maybe i just stick with it 😂

gave fedora a shot today (with kde) because i see it recommended a lot. i found it difficult to get a working guide for nvidia drivers, had to reinstall the first time because all i got was a black screen. had lots of difficulty mounting secondary hard drive, programs refusing to install and not launching or nowhere to be found after installing, and everything works ridiculously slow even though i have powerful hardware. after almost smashing my head through the monitor i gave up and installed kubuntu, which also seems to have little hickups like stuttering and lagging when downloading something. is it supposed to be this hard? mint is still the only properly working distro i have seen.

time to learn how to swim

apparently his repacks are for arch, fedora and debian unstable. no setup provided for ububtu based, so that’s a nope then.

snow is the only thing i like about my country, i hate that in 20 years we probably wont have that anymore

i doubt the average user even understands what an operating system means and they’ll just go with thatever it came with

i have been lucky with all my computers and peripherals, everything worked out of the box. but there’s a weird issue in our household, none of the windows machines can connect or stay connected to our wifi but all phones and linux machines have no issues…

i tried many different cyberpunk 2077 repacks from dodi and fitgirl and none would finish installation with wine

I would be mad if some kids would come begging for my candy. MY CANDY! yes I’m fat.

my logitech mouse is configurable in piper (no automatic profiles unfortunately) and my endorfy keyboard requires no installable software as all lighting effects are configured with fn keys

correct me if I’m wrong, but the performance issues in the new AMD chips were microsofts fault and they work fine on linux.

i use banana cursor because bananas are healthy

i only have three modes. stressed or angry. usually both.

i read that mint used to have a kde option too but they discontinued that to reduce workload. didn’t know multi monitor setups were a problem for cinnamon though. does it work at all or lacks controls or something? are xfce and mate equally bad?

im a mint user too and every few months i start distrohopping but always land back in mint. all other distros always have something that doesn’t work or is just irritating. but mint feels like home.

finally some new visuals. mint cinnamon is always advertised as beautiful looking, but it’s absolutely not. i love cinnamon, but the default themes look depressing.
