Simply the best traditional desktop experience for normies and wizards alike. Never used Linux before? Start here...

Looks outdated and my friends would bully me if they saw that, they'd think I bought some ugly chinese knockoff computer and couldn't afford Windows or Mac

Mint 22.2 Is Out

>>106462770
>Ubuntu LTS 24.04
I'm still on Ubuntu 22.04 because it just werks

>>106462748 (OP)
Never knew this, seems quite petty.

>>106462770

Cinnamon+Cinnamenu is great, I like it's a compromise between classic and modern UI. People love KDE but I think it's fucking ugly and messy, and Gnome is unusable unless you install a ton of extensions.

>>106462748 (OP)
You don't need more than Slackware

>>106462770
To be frank, I like cinnamon. Granted, I go for a minimalist desktop and don't do any ricing, but it has been mostly out of the way and lets me write my memos and send my emails in peace

>>106463595
Hi Frank

I dont know if you know this but this is how stable point releases work.

>>106463611
Sup

>>106463445

You’re implying that Linux is suited to well adjusted people. These people work for free because companies don’t want to hire em.

>>106462756
You can change the theme extremely easily, it looks better than your faggot shit alreafy though

>>106462770
Btrfs is already available as an option in the installer even if not the default one, mate/xfce/cinammon totally beat faggot DEs like kde and gnome, and zram is a dumb choice use zswap instead which works better and is trivial to setup yourself if you aren't a retard
>muh lts
It's the most reliable release model and you can just use flatpak or ppa's for the few things you actually need to be new

>>106463445
Literally everyone hates snap except canonical, it's actually a big reason to avoid ubuntu these days. Flatpak won and is setup out of the box in mint instead

>Still no practical Wayland
Jesus, GNOME has been Wayland-ready for 9 years now.

>>106462770
>Btrfs
Use case?

>>106466009
It will never be non-fag ready though

>>106466009
I struggle to see a difference between GNOME with dash to panel and Cinnamon anyways.

>>106466009
But when will wayland be ready? It's been 17 years, and it still needs 2 weeks to reach feature parity with X.

>>106462748 (OP)
Kino.

Wanted to use it, I really liked it. But, Mint 22.2 was having a strange video issue with retroarch. Parts of the screen were cropped out, unless I resized the window all around the screen to try and "center" back the picture. Sigh.

>>106462748 (OP)
Now we just have to hang on like so much dead weight until they give in and rebase off Devuan or Artix, and fork GTK.

>>106462748 (OP)
Love me Mint, but I am really not a fan of these big gay rounded system buttons. Give me a toggle for something less.....homosexual please. That's all I ask.

>>106463445
yall are WAY far behind on the state of tech...

imagine that its entirely AI and $5 poo-in-loos trolling.... youre wasting your time trying to blame

>>106468477
That's a theme parameter, switch to something more to your liking or just outright change that shit in its CSS.

>>106468569

Why would you need to page lol. You must be RAM-poor or use a ton of browser apps

>>106469151
Browser RAM usage is highly compressible, might as well use it and it only takes 5 commands to enable it permanently.
It typically can compress 11GB worth of tabs down to about 4GB usage.
Also I can't upgrade my laptop past 16GB RAM.

i started with mint many years ago
now i come back to mint after many years of distrohopping desu

>>106463445
You can install snap, if you really need to:
