      F-that! Take pride… Mint is ridiculously good. Well managed, stable, “just works” and yet has all the capabilities you want, including auto-running near the edge for current kernels (backed down to stable) without doing jack. You can run at the bleeding edge if you want to manage it yourself.

      And for any haters - here’s my take: I’ve been working with Unix for 30+ years, I installed Slackware off of floppies when 16MB of RAM was god-like. I have built, compiled and managed nearly every distro at some point certainly the upstream giants. I’ve been there for the birth of all of them. I’ve also professionally worked on AIX, SunOS/Solaris, HPUX. Yes there’s a lot of fun in maintaining and running things to your satisfaction, but when you hit a certain inflection point of balancing your real life and maintaining distros across multiple machines and decide “This is the way” - Mint just fits the bill on so many levels.

      Mint is the bomb and I’m done pretending. Fight me (not you, OP, you’re cool)

        20+ year Linux user here. Fuck it, I ain’t got time to manage dumb shit. Install and go, please.

        Though I am curious about LMDE.

        I’ve got to admit, I do love Mint. I’ve thought about hopping, but I’ve never had a serious problem with Mint (that wasn’t my own fault) so I’ve never really had the motivation.

      All my homies love mint, just because it’s friendly doesn’t mean it’s bad!

      Mint is the basic bitch of distros. Sure she shows up in fugly ugs, leggings, gripping a pumpkin spice drank. But she shows up! Works hard. That girl fucks! Make no mistake, basic bitches make the world go round.

      Mint is the shit!

      Mint works pretty well! I’ve never been much of a power user so using its GUI (Cinnamon 'cause I failed miserably at running KDE) to update and install certain programs is pretty convenient.

    Opensuse. Screw all the haters, it just werks (except for codecs needing to be installed and some minor fiddling)

      My first was SUSE followed shortly thereafter by the initial release of Fedora Core. Lots of distro hopping and tinkering later, I run LMDE these days as my daily driver and I distro hop on the other computers in my collection.

    Endeavour, fixing issues is easy enough.

    Yes I have the arch logo as a wallpaper of my PC and my phone why do you ask?

        Yep, I’ll admit that I kind of gnomified it with the super button opening the overview (not slow since 6.0), but that’s kind of the point of KDE, we can do what we want.

    Kubuntu, because I did the “hard”-distro-to-show-off thing with Gentoo 20 years ago and can’t be bothered anymore.

    Um…

    Manjaro (Stable) with Plasma 6 (and broken Oxygen icons).

    I plan to merge those icons with GNOME icons… which are also partial, but I am too lazy. I like their early 2010s 3D look, but currently nearly half my icons are just missing.

    I should be able to just rsync them together I hope and name it something else. Then also rsync the default Breeze icons as a last resort. I should be able to do that with --ignore-existing I think.
