I can't convince myself that I need to change over.

Kendall's right. I'm extremely happy with Linux Mint 10, and don't plan to upgrade until Mint 12 is released. Doing things like replacing OpenOffice.org with LibreOffice and installing Banshee were a snap. Really, if you're comfortable with what you have, I would say you should just stick with it.Kendall wrote:The underlying code base is a little newer, the boot time is a little faster, and some of the apps are more current. Outside of that there should be no major reason to upgrade. With some PPA's you should be able to get current app versions on Mint 10 for just about everything that's widely used.
Make that 13 which is the LTS version, which is when I expect Gnome 3 Linux Mint to really stabilize, so to speak. It is pretty easy to get the latest versions of firefox, chrome, libreoffice and media players on mint 10.SunWukong wrote:Kendall's right.

I'm patient, but I don't think I'm that patient. I'm a tad too curious about Gnome 3 to wait two whole releases before I try it out.kvv wrote:Make that 13 which is the LTS version, which is when I expect Gnome 3 Linux Mint to really stabilize, so to speak.

The Mint 11 bugs do not hit everyone the same way, some users have no big problems running Mint 11. Only by testing it on your hardware can you be sure.Stennie wrote:After reading many posts on this forum I've decided to stick with MInt 10.
Mint 11 seems to have lots more problems and is not as stable as Mint 10.
Will wait and see what Mint 12 brings....
