Yes, I know that the ranking is not a good metric of real world use.
Just posting this because MX Linux has been in the number one spot for a long time (2 years perhaps?) and it’s surprising to see some other distro on the top of their site.
It’s funny and awesome that the two top distro are Ubuntu remixes that remove snap.
Edit: I’m wrong. MX uses Debian as upstream, not Ubuntu, which removes any snap related tech from the picture entirely.
I really like mint although i never used it again.
Pros using mint :- It’s easy to learn
- It’s stable
- It’s Windows XP like
- Not recourse hogging like KDE
- Easy to customize
Cons using mint :
- It’s debian based
Cinnamon is way more resource hogging than KDE.
Why is Debian based a problem? I ask this as my first IRL Linux user that taught me about Linux still uses Debian Unstable as his daily driver workhorse, and he is a CS Theory Doctor, and has to reboot his system once a year or so to keep it functioning properly.
It reads like a cocktail instruction, “Add mint then mix Linux”
