    Mint is OK for beginners, but definetly not for me, old ass pakages due to the Ubuntu LTS base, and the cinnamon desktop just make it unusable for me (Nothing against cinamon but I am a KDE addict)

      Do you know the meme with the knucklehead on the left at the bottom of the bell-curve, the smashed brain moron at the top, and the sage at the right?

      With this comment you are very close to coming off as the smashed brain moron at the top of the curve.

      Everyone has preferences, but your preferences do not map to you being superior in any way. And just as importantly - you are also a beginner to some people. It would serve you well to remember that.

    Installed Mint last week after a ~10 year hiatus from using Linux (other than Debian on RPi)

    I was surprised at how everything just works, even my network HP all-in-one worked after a simple “search for printer” and it also added it as a scanner without any input from me. In windows I had to install HPsmart software, login every few days for some reason and then some days it just refuses to work altogether

    I also connected it to my home theater and I was able to set up 5.1 sound without any additional installations. In windows it took me several hours to fix this and sometimes the link between the laptop and the HT would be cut for some reason in the middle of a movie and I had to restart everything
