1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    the only objective problem mint has is that it's so good I struggle to get people I convinced to install it to be interested in other distros and stuff. And that's fine.

    Mint is a solid choice and the one I recommend to anyone who just wants something that works or doesn't care about having several choices, and even when someone wants to explore more options I always include Mint. It just works, it's easy to install that even my non-tech savvy mother on a phone call with me managed to install it and Cinnamon has just enough customization options ootb to make it yours without being overwhelming to a noob like KDE.

    I personally don't use it cause I am not the biggest fan of using GUIs, debian derivatives and I prefer KDE plasma so I just go with other options (currently Fedora 40, been using Arch and NixOS a lot before this), however even in my case I could most likely turn LM into what I want with some effort (I just don't see the point in doing that), and my father who has been using Linux since Kernel 1.0 and is definitely a power user swears by it.

    Mints biggest crime is not having a Mint-Y dark mode despite so many people asking for it if you Google.

    Best theme, bright mode only. Criminal.

    I don't think it's the best theme tbh
