Linux Mint Blog

If you haven't seen it yet, check out the Blog. Great write-up by Clem regarding LMDE and the current reviews published about it. Also further info on LMDE's direction.

It is so nice to hear the creator of Mint talking about what is good for us users rather than what is good for "the company".

That was a great read.

Exactly! This is one of the main reasons I switched to Mint.

Although it's also good for them if it's good for us. But frankly they seem to care about us, about what we say, what we suggest. And I like it!

Me too. All the devs are very active and helpful on the forums here. I just used a script that Ikey put up to fix the font problem in LMDE and it works great. He didn't have to do that. In other distros you just have to wait until a fix comes in some future update. And I see Clem jump into discussions on here periodically as well. Really makes you feel like you belong to something good.

Thank you, tdoc kery97, for expressing your enthusiasm, I find it encouraging and consequently come back here each day for new snippets of how to`s and other developments. I like how , if I can`t find an answer to a problem today, either because the solutions offered are more technical than I care to indulge in or they haven`t worked for me, then, more than likely, tomorrow finds an easy answer just jumping up at me.

That's one of the main differences, yes! Here you see the Devs together with us solving problems, talking about this distro and others, sharing desktops screenies.
I believe we don't see this kind of connection anywhere else.
