Is Linux Mint the most perfect, universal distro of all time for you and your loved ones?

>screen tearing
Pass.

The installer was broken when I last used it.

I was tearing my hair out trying to get MPV on this distribution to work with the extensions. First it was too old which was hell to upgrade and then it just refused to work because haha why not

No, it doesn't usable thumbnails in the file upload dialogue yet. Apparently, making sticky notes look nice is higher priority.

When I choose Linux, I always pick Linux Mint.. IT JUST WORKS

Still has no HDR support and embedded Geoclue spyware

>>106633173
qrd?
Is it worse than windows?

>>106633257
Yes, unfortunately. Although, if you enable the firewall and don't install stuff from unvetted sources, you should be mostly fine, probably. But 10 people isn't enough to maintain a whole ass distribution.

mint has a special place in my heart
but i prefer debian

also, i really hope they improve cinnamon

>>106631867
This actually happened to me. It is related to kernel version mint is using, it causes problems with AMD chips.
Also had sound problems.
After switching to Arch, everything is fixed.

Can I use my 9070XT on Mint yet?

2018 user oldfag here who has tried every OS every Windows, all Linux distros, all BSDs and is now on a Macbook Air 15 M4

Here is the os end game redpill:

If your concern is performance your machine is probably old: -> use old Windows that your machine came with.

If your concern is privacy use an airgapped machine + don't use state/regional services/websites (ie if your merican don't use google, if you're russian don't use yandex). For the airgapped machine use WINDOWS since Linux cannot into self-contained/static linked software

If your concern is "just werks" use MacOS, pretty self-explanatory.

As you can see, Linux is out of the equation here, Linux is dogshit, no cap. These faggots still don't know how to draw windows on the desktop and have just awhile ago implemented fractional scaling. The 2 main desktops: GNOME is a schizo-designed, autism-approved iPad parody and KDE is an eternal bugfest. As are all the other desktop environments, which have 0, zero quality control.

i tried mint and my favorite programs were not working properly
>>replaces your shitty Windows 7 install
incorrect, all my programs work perfectly in win7

>>106631859 (OP)
this, but with Cachyos KDE

Wrong pic.

For some reason Mint (cinnamon and XFCE) bogged down to a stop when browsing my pictures folder (full of decades of 4chan shitposting images, one can imagine) which only slowed down Windows 7 a bit.
>>106641812
and for some reason Endeavour and Cachy handled it a bit faster than Windows.
I dunno if it's Arch or KDE or Dolphin or something else to blame but it wasn't what I expected.

>>106641884
I have the same issue with Mint, I've only tried it in virtual machine, but it always gets unusably slow after a while and I haven't had this issue with the other big distros I've tried.

>>106631859 (OP)
>2GB RAM (4GB recommended for a comfortable usage).
>20GB of disk space (100GB recommended).

bloat as hell

im trying to test install linux mint and i don't see it in here only ubuntu and 64 bit variant
is it under "other" options? if it's the case which version would it be?

>>106642651
With a Win 10 VM installed (27GB), and using as my daily driver for 6 weeks now, it's using less than 60GB of disk space.

>cures your distrohopping

>>106643098
scroll up, if not then use ubuntu 64, it's debian-based which mint is based on (i think)

>>106631859 (OP)
i have been using it since 2014 after microsoft windows 10 roofied me and it has been great... just run windows 7 or 8.1 off in a vm without internet.

>>106643153
Mint is based on Ubuntu, which is Debian based.

No you didn't, you said Mint is based on Debian but made no mention that it's based on Ubuntu.

>replaces your shitty Windows 7 install
7 can run a wide selection of productivity tools that actually get something done, that can also be installed locally, offline with no catches. Troonix still can't do those things.

>>106643882
cool

>>106643890
yes i did, ESL
debian -> ubuntu -> mint

How's the nvidia driver situation, can I play gayms with my RTX gpu on mint?

You won't get remotely the latest driver no

Lots of work has been done on nvidia in the last few years. It's been solved on some distros. Also please recommend this video to others if you ever see them asking about nvidia on linux.

so when are you moving to Linux?

>>106631859 (OP)
An update bricked my system. Couldn't save it with either time shift or old kernels. I also had a problem with my bootloader breaking for no reason sometimes. I switched to Debian, and it's given me far less issues.

>>106646256
My laptop is already on Fedora. I'll use Massgrave on my desktop to switch to Win10 Enterprise and get 3 more years of updates, though I'll be long gone from Windows before then. I just need my current workflow for a little longer since I'm not ready for Davinci Resolve yet.

alright /g/ays, i have linux mint how do i install proton and wine for gayming on linux?

post your Mint-tans

>>106631859 (OP)
It's my distro of choice for a couple years now and it's been mostly functional out of the box as I chose the hardware components to be compatible. My main board was too new so I had to use an ethernet2usb converter but I guess I could check whether the drivers are up to date by now.
Mint is the perfect distro for me. Not too stable like Debian and not as bloaty as Ubuntu.

>>106645081
Jesus Christ, are you mad or something? Are you UvUlating and butt-hurt at the same time? Try eating more fiber and less red meat and for God's sake, stop eating so much take-out and highly processed foods! It apparently jumbles up your hormones giving you these violent mood swings.
