Definition of standing on the shoulders of giants. Even from the start when it offered the codecs Ubuntu didn’t mint has been there. Same for arch want something specified but don’t want to start at a lfs or Gentoo it has your back all you have to do is read up on the bits you want. I think it’s amazing that for me the best distros are still community ones.

LFS is the linux pilgrimage that turns noobs into greybeards. Whrn it work uou erase it and install debian.

idk man, i just like me a good non derivative distro. Debian, arch, nix, gentoo, whatever as long as it has less hands it’s being passed through im happy.

Having a custom distro that installs some extra frequently used software by default is no problem for me.

KillingTimeItself ,

for me that’s just a script that auto installs the software i need at minimum to be productive. Gimme an X server, i3wm, and some applications to compliment it and i’ll be one very happy user.

My only issue with mint is that it is downstream of Ubuntu so I feel like the maintainers have to spend too much effort fixing kinks and bypassing Canonical’s dumb ideas.

LMDE is cool too, but then its too stable and doesn’t have all the nice UI features of regular mint lol.

I find it amusing and interesting that a heap of people work hard to create Debian, then a bunch of other people build on it to create Ubuntu, then a third group of people do a heap of additional work to wind back some of the changes to create Mint.

I prefer Fedora. It works great and has no bullshit.

I tried installing Fedora a few weeks back.

It did not like my 3080 and broke horribly.

Back to Endeavour…

Hard to tell if the 𝑦-axis is population or loudness

namelivia ,

It is a sinus wave from me, went between Ubuntu and Arch several times depending on how playful y feel :D

M500 ,

Yeah, this is me completely, although I did use Fedora kde spin as I was getting tired of the mint ui. I used it exclusively for many many years and the steamdeck completely changed my opinion.

puppy ,

steamdeck completely changed my opinion.

What do you mean? Did it convince you to keep using KDE or did you go back to another desktop afterwards?

M500 ,

Sorry, what I mean is that steamdeck desktop mode made me love kde plasma and decide to switch from mint to kde plasma.

nixos ftw

Minty MacBook resurrection I did a while back

Wow, all this time and you’ve prevented the screen bezel bumps from making chips in the top case (the palm rests). Clearly, you take better care of your computer than any of the university students I helped at an Apple Store back in the day.

What flavor?
