I upvote for a non-AI thumbnail.
God I am tired of them!
Took my first steps last night, I flashed a USB stick with Mint Cinnamon and gave it a spin. Looks like it’ll handle everything I need to just fine, so imma start partitioning and backing up the next couple evenings and just go for it. I’ve installed Linux before, but only really as temporary solutions. I’m looking forward to making it my daily driver and learning the system.
OpenSUSE is hardly what I would consider noob friendly, but it certainly beats remaining under Microsoft’s oppressing thumb.
opensuse was my shortest experiment when i used to distro hop because of how old their software seemed to be. (ie old like debian stable).
this was almost 20 years; has it gotten better?
Why did we all collectively choose mint?
its easy, less gross than ubuntu/canonical, if mint specific instructions aren’t available for something then ubuntu or debian instructions will generally work without much adaptation if any, etc.
I dont need my OS to be a challenge or a flex.
Because common advice isbto use Mint for beginners.
