I switched to Mint about 2 years ago just to try it out for a friend who wanted to switch from windows who wasn’t very tech savvy. Once I got everything set up I realized I liked it pretty well, it played all the games I wanted to play, and it ran all the programs I wanted to run through wine so why was I using Windows?
I got a new computer and just migrated the hard drive on over, and this worked but it did create some problems and it ran slowly at times, so I did a clean install a few months ago. I decided to try out Ubuntu and really did not enjoy it at all. I had to redo so much of the UI to make it how I wanted it to be that I eventually just gave up and switched back to Mint, but the latest version this time. It’s been great, very few problems and runs a lot better than the version I had that was running on my old laptop first. Hell, some gaming experiences are better through proton than they are on Windows native weirdly.
That’s awesome!! I have proton too, that’s good news to me ^^
welcome to the fun side of computing :3
Yoooo, how you finding it? Freeing?
Everything has been a learning experience so far, but not a painful one! I feel longer I’m learning things about computers that I should’ve learned ten years ago.
Congratulations! In my experience using it as a daily driver is a rewarding journey. Mint is a perfect choice for starting that journey.
Well, akschuelly, Mint is really outdated and based on Ubuntu, so unless you use debian edition its not really as good as fedora or opensuse
Ich nutze Bogen, nebenbei.
I’m thinking that you used “akschuelly” to make this a joke? It hasn’t really worked.
Im noticing that myself, thank you.
