      I mean, good for him I guess? Comparing Mint to Arch is about as pointless as comparing Mint to headless Debian.

        nothing wrong with Mint, but it isnt some magical distro, and I’m so sick of hearing about it that my ears pretty much [bleed]
        every single “What distro should I try?” thread: “Mint” “I recommend Mint” "Why use x when you could use Mint?" “MINT!”… /rant

          It is not that it is the best distro, its that it is the easier onboarding experience for a windows user

            edit and alas: I have seen the error of my ways, and as such, will, from this day forth, worship at the linux of mint
            and ye though there are other worthy transitional distros, I shall not see them, for the votes have taught me so. and the people said mint

          It’s a gateway to SNAP, which is why it’s bad.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
