Linux Mint is so much like Windows it was an easy transition for me.

i used to be into distros and stuff back in the day when i first started linuxing. nowadays yea i just use mint or arch. with this laptop, i just slapped mint on it and called it a day.
Mint XFCE on my craptop and Nobara on my gaming rig. both of them are incredibly idiot-proof.

@admin Linux Mint
I used FreeBSD for many years up until 10.x but these days I have an older laptop running LMDE (linux mint debian) with KDE Plasma. It is just so easy to stay updated and zero effort to do anything.

same, im a simple man. I like mint!
I use EndeavourOS. I like rolling releases. I like to use flatpaks instead of snaps because some of the snap infrastructure is closed source.
I don’t like the complicated installation of arch but I like the ecosystem. I started having problems with manjaro so I went to Endeavour and it’s been solid a few months. No
There’s a lot to not like about snaps…
Even flatpaks are not perfect. But for somestuff where you have to run proprietary code it’s nice to have it isolated.
Eh, I don’t believe in isolation. And by that I mean, I don’t think it’s currently actually obtainable. Servers, sure, any mitigation helps, but for end-users? I doubt it offers much protection and adds a bunch of overhead. But I do like these technologies for keeping old software running. Linux tends to have a pretty poor reputation at backwords compatability, and this is a major help.

Containers in general have been great for repeatable deployment.

I agree the install process isn’t complicated. Last time I tried something messed up my networking. I could only connect to the internet if I was connected to a vpn. I don’t know what it was but manjaro and EndeavourOS never had that problem. Endeavour basically is arch so I don’t see what the point of using a harder arch.
Artix! Easy to install, rolling, and lets me have my beloved runit init system out of box.
Used to be a Void person, but… things happened.
Mint is easily my goto for stable though.
I use ArcoLinux rn, but I don’t like it. Maybe it is because of my choice of using xmonad. I am thinking of returning either to Garuda linux or using good ol’ Mint
started with mint, tried many others. back to mint and never left again. The ease and simplicity is #1.
Arch btw!
