The Mint Team needs to be creative when it the versions enter these letters (U and beyond). I personally like referring to my OS as "her".

My timeline was that you were the "cool nerd" if you had a 500MB flash drive.

Thanks for making me feel younger, guys!

... always looking for ways to make my time at a computer (several hours a day doing Website work , photo and other image work , writing , publishing . . . things like that). No games . just work that I happen to enjoy doing and always want to make it even better! Based on your goals, there's no re...

So here are my current specs. System Info.png All I want is a machine that can handle these two games without sacrificing the default graphics options. I even want to make them look better. For now I'm looking at the Intel NUC Kit NUC7PJYH . Is that a good minimalist machine for my gaming needs, or ...

You see, bob466, we're past the Negative Arguments Era ("I am a Linux user because I hate Windows."). We're already in the Positive Arguments Era ("I am a Linux user because <insert distro> has all the things I need to get my job done. This is why you're getting these replies. As much as possible we...

Turn Num Lock On?

That sales man's arrogance is rubbing me the wrong way. He is basically saying "You shouldn't install a 'Toy OS' to such a 'professional machine' like this!"

Stability I ain't afraid of updates, because most of the time Mint has got me covered. Out-of-the-Box Experience With every Mint Release, I prefer flattening my drive (formatting). Apps, music players, network and graphics drivers get installed in there automatically anyway. Yes, I have my files ba...

Is Linux Finally Beating Windows? (Microsoft Windows vs Linux OS Battle)

It's a clickbait title, really. But I give them props in taking the effort in scouring every resource they can get. From the "What is Linux?" to "How is Linux faring now?"

I'm asking because I have no idea whether the websites I've been getting fonts are legit or not.

I'd buy a MintBox Mini 2 Pro. Sure, I'm really paying for the Mint Brand, but I'm generally okay with the specs.

So... the historical computer bugs are taking their definition back.

Distro-hopping has many purposes. Yours happens to be finding the one you can settle to. I don't think the majority of us herewill have a problem if you went adventurous again. And besides, you don't have to hate other distros just because you happen to find the one you love. So, I agree with ajgrin...

Pengwin
That's giving me a bad imagery of Tux.

Paying for the rights to modify Open Sourced Code
Isn't this why Open Source Licenses exist... to avoid such things?

"The Mint Team should abandon the distro and focus on the Desktop Environment" As if all distros will start using Cinnamon the moment Linux Mint went out of existence. And besides, Mint's purpose of existence if for Ease of Use, Stability and Out-of-the-Box experience for New Users... something that...

Plot Twist: Her system was purposefully programmed to promote the Legacy Microsoft OS. I could still hear that opening theme, actually.

The only reason I'll be leaving Mint is because I'll get bored of her stability, which is also the same reason for coming back. I assume that's what happened to you.

Why Mint over other Distros? It's a good starting point for beginners like me. Mint's out-of-the-box experience makes it comfy to play around and break your system - that's right, if it breaks it generally means you FORCED it to. Why Cinnamon? Flagship Desktop Environment - You can play around with...

Now, you need this guy in.

Thanks for the comments, guys! This is enough beginner info for me.
