>it just works
why do /g/ chuds hate this distro?

>>106392588 (OP)
ngl mint is cool only thing i hate about it is outdated old ass design.

>>106392588 (OP)
so ugly bro

It’s true. This is the only Linux distro I can handle for more than 20 minutes. It still makes me dry heave though

>>106392588 (OP)
>>it just works

I've lasted over 2 weeks on it now; over twice as long as any other distro I've tried. I think I may finally be able to stick with Linux now.

I had to get rid of that sickly green colour though; but the minty teal dark theme is lovely.

ugghhh nooo my tech doesent look flat modernist and soullous noooooooo, stop complaing lol the OS is completly costumisable you can make it look however u want like many linux OS's

>>106392722
No arrow, sorry you know the rules.

>>106392588 (OP)
its fine if youre new to linux, its better then gaybuntu

>>106392588 (OP)
Does it allow you to clone panels (a.k.a 'taskbars') for multiple monitor setups yet?

>>106392728
no arrow?

>>106392721
>things that happened in the past

Not really relative now though, is it?

>>106392733
I've never given money to any of those either.

>>106392769
check out the sponsors at the linux website: https://www.kernel.org/
or >>106392733

My just works distro of choice is Zorin

who cares? they got your data :)

>>106392792
>>power management issues
big one, my macbook pro can run the whole day with docker projects running etc.

>>106392588 (OP)
Because it's just Ubuntu under the hood with a different DE and some extra mint apps.

>>106392588 (OP)
I don't hate it, but it's just a strange middle ground to me. Same with Ubuntu. An OS that tries to mimc the safe feelings of a curated windows or mac without going all the way to it, but also not fully committing to the same degree of needing to know your OS like some other distros do.

>>106392588 (OP)
Aurora is infinitely better

>>106392588 (OP)
It looka lika shit. But that's easy enough to remedy.

IM GONNA SAY THE TRUTH!

MINT LINUX LOOKS AMAZING!!

i love when software has soul and looks utilitarian and skeuomorphic

Because Linux users cannot be happy and distros are like football teams for nerds

>>106392588 (OP)
Does it have thumbnails in the file picker?

>>106392733
sponsors are not people getting money though, thats the opposite. google is the only shitter here, and they are paying money. Unless there is some reason to not like RedHat im unaware of? They are the ones who make Fedora right?

>>106392588 (OP)
Because the lead dev is a blazing antisemitic faggot

>>106393211
yes

>>106393227
who cares, google is/was already there...

I like mint but god NEMO file manager is a GARBAGE file manager. It's so slow compared to pcmanfm. It loads everything slow, who thought that was okay?

Why didn't they just take pcmanfm or even thunar and rename it to "files"?

Cinnamon already reuses the MATE system monitor and many other things so why do this?

I use linux mint MATE though.

>>106392588 (OP)
>why do /g/ chuds hate this distro?
It's the most recommended babby distro on /g/

>>106393228
You say that like it's a bad thing.

>>106393228
>already a Mint user
>SAY WUT

>>106392588 (OP)
when will they make an LMDE Mate edition? Cinammon is garbage and if I were gonna use ubuntu I'd use ubuntu mate anyway. What's the point of regular mint mate at that point?

cinnamon is a partially functioning desktop environment. i would not use that if i had a choice.

>>106392792
>power management issues
SteamOS did wonders to Asus Rog that comes with windows, and I had no issues power-wise on my old laptop
>random shit like finger print reader not working because shit or non existent drivers
Fair enough
>>too much fragmentation and moving parts, means anything can break at anytime.
Are you shitting me? Ext4 system is less prone to fragmentation than the standard NTFS
>personally interested graphics and game dev stuff for which windows is the industry standard
Just admit that you got filtered by linux and your only choice of OS is Jeetdows

>>106392896
I an not paying for linux, nigga

>>106393706
Jeets literally prefer Linux over Windows, Rejesh

>>106392722
Its ugly bro

>>106393637
>when will they make an LMDE Mate edition?
Already exists, it's called "picking mate as the desktop environment when installing debian"

>>106394290
They might prefer it, but thankfully they are not developing it, unlike windows. This by default makes linux the better choice.

>>106392588 (OP)
Because i just works. And if i don't have to spend 5 hours of investigation and fixing everyday, then I don't have an excuse to not do anything meaningfull

>No practical Wayland

>>106393211
it does but usecase?

>>106392588 (OP)
mint is great

>>106392588 (OP)
I love it. Been running Xfce forever now and it's never given me trouble.
>>106393228
As if I needed more reasons to love it.

>>106392612
the only thing i hate about mint is that it doesnt look outdated enough. i still have been DDing it for a while though, it just works

>>106392612
>>106392636
You can edit it.

Guys pls help where can i beggin learning hacking? I dont know programing btw

>>106396234
linux mint is the h4X0rs distro bro

Using this thread as tech support
I updated Ubuntu and suddenly my WiFi card is no longer recognized. Tried disabling it and re-enabling it in the BIOS. I then uninstalled Ubuntu, installed Fedora, and it still had no network support (even Ethernet). I then deleted the partition entirely, created a new partition, still no network support.

What gives? My computer just won’t allow Linux anymore? Or i have to use a USB WiFi card or something?

>>106396270
i feel like such a h4x0r when i cd to another folder and execute a program with wine

>>106396234
https://www.hackthebox.com/
not an advertisement, but this is pretty fun and hands on and I think you can still have a good time without paying anything (when I was using it I did pay)

>>106396289
Dumb thought - are you sure your laptop doesn't have a wifi key?
I had a computer with one of those once. Hit it by accident and it caused all sorts of havoc until I figured out the problem.
Something you did on one install shouldn't affect reinstalls or even installs on a different system. Even if there is no key your wifi card itself might be having unrelated problems.

>>106396289
>>106396358
When I say "wifi key", I mean a key on the function keys for airplane mode. With an airplane on it.
That could do it.

>>106396358
It’s a dual boot desktop with Windows. The Windows install is fine.

>>106392588 (OP)
I know it's petty, but I hate the name and aesthetic.

>>106393211
It doesn't. Not a proper grid view.

>>106392588 (OP)
It just works...until you need driver support that Shitbuntu lacks.

>>106392792
>random shit like finger print reader not working because shit or non existent drivers
Good riddance. You should NEVER log your fingerprints ANYWHERE.
>personally interested in graphics
Linux is better for this if you have a tablet PC since there's no OEM vendor lock-in about which stylus you're allowed to use.

>>106392588 (OP)
I love I just wish they had a rolling release option.

>>106393244
>>106397093
>yes
>no
Who is telling the truth?

>>106397299
It has "thumbnails" as in it shows the thumbnail for a single selected image but you can't see the thumbnails for all the images in a grid view.

>>106393292
Caja (the NIH syndrome file manager they develop for MATE) works fairly better than Nemo, even. Haven't used any of them in depth, but i don't see why you couldn't implement whatever niche feature Nemo has over Caja as a plugin and get over this. It did made some sense back then when Caja was very new and Nemo was the stablished stable choice, not now.

>>106397299
>>106397319
This is true. GTK3 is shit. GTK4 supposedly fixes it, I heard. You can drag/drop from a Nemo window too (which does have grid view thumbs but you need to enable it in view settings).

>>106392588 (OP)
>apt
Into the trash it goes.

I don't.

I love it.

>>106392588 (OP)
/g/ chuds don't hate this distro.

Anyways, my issue with is solely the name and aesthetics. If I use it I have to modify all of its logos and icons and whatever out to be able to tolerate it.

Is there a BlueStacks equivalent in Mint? There is ONE android app that I need on my PC. I can't live without it.

Does this actually work? I'm dropping Windows if this is real

>>106397794
Waydroid is legit.

>>106392612
that's the best part, faggot
just use themes/a faggoter DE

>>106397871
Doesn't you need wayland for that?

>>106392588 (OP)
what is the current kernel version?

>>106398057
I don't think so

How do they do it? Everything just works and I never have to use the command line.

>>106398073
6.14.x

>>106398172
in their repo or do i have to build it myself?

>>106392588 (OP)
pic related

Don't like the default cursor theme. DMZ is king.

>>106392588 (OP)
looks like shit

Cinnamon, XFCE & MATE are all dogshit DE's and the Mint site was hacked and distributed iso's with malware. I could never trust them after that.

>>106392588 (OP)
If it used KDE it would be fine.

>>106398372
>Cinnamon, XFCE & MATE are all dogshit
Name a better DE

>>106398860
the K DE

>>106392588 (OP)
You answered your own question. Chuds and troons dont want something that just works.

>>106392588 (OP)
I don't hate it, I just don't see the point of it over just running Debian. Also you spam a lot of threads about it, contributing to the annoyance.

>>106392696
>but the minty teal dark theme is lovely.
That's what I use as well.

>>106398217
Good news: DMZ comes installed and it takes 5 seconds to open "Themes", click "Mouse Pointer" and select your preferred one.

>>106393228
I can only love mint so much

>>106398057
Yes but you can use weston. The total installation process to get wayland working on linux is quite tedious but so is everything.

>>106392588 (OP)
xfce version is the best.

>>106399628
What makes it the best?

>>106400120
It's fast as fuck boy.

>>106400120
i dont remember

>>106392612
I personally find it clearer and more functional. Also calming, but that's even more subjective. Still, if you see it as sub-optimal, that's valid.
