my sentiments exactly

can we not

this. im so sick of everyone just telling new people to get mint. cinnamon isnt the best choice for every new person. i hate that its just told to every new person, point blank.

imo the rumor that mint is the easiest is harmful to the whole ecosystem. it implies there arent countless other easy distros and stifles accurate choices for many new people.

classic linux poltergeist

fuck yeah its our time to shine, lets gooooo!

i’ll admit it, i was partially memeing

quite refreshing to get some support on this opinion. cheers

no thanks, i enjoy a rolling release

right, but im talking about new people unknowingly wasting time on it. new people dont know to just sudo apt install kde-full, and they may waste months on cinnamon.

ty kindly :)

hell yeah

true

yeah no hate for debian here

this touches on my point exactly. i find that due to the “over recommendation” of mint/cinnamon, that many new people will inevitably “waste time” with cinnamon. this is a feeling i have that frustrates me, is all. KDE is exactly as easy to get started with as is cinnamon.

anyway cheers :)

hey right on, appreciate the thoughtful reply. i cant say i share the same experience, but now i understand where youre coming from.

side note, im new(ish) to lemmy and im really appreciating the quality of the takes im seeing on here. refreshing feeling, so cheers to adding to that.

maybe youve always been using 2 year or older hardware *shrug

wdym by ergonomic in this context, may i ask?

yeah i dont hate gnome users or even if i have to use gnome, but i do hate the conceptual approach to functionality they take, as you mention.

Debian - for when you want to wait two years
