True, though I guess they don’t change the OS (only the repos), and don’t advertise/celebrate it as much…
But complaining or anything, just thinking “out loud” why people could feel this way about Debian but not Mint
Nope, they’re completely separate distro families!
Because Mint does release minor releases every 6 months
2·5 days agoMy favourite part is the updater and I miss it in other distros. I don’t always want to update blindly, I hate it about Windows and Arch and NixOS don’t fare much better OOTB. Mint’s updater shows you what can be updated, the from and to versions, how much data would be transferred, and most importantly the changelog of each part!
I genuinely appreciate I can go through these, uninstall anything I don’t use anymore and learn what new things will come to my computer!
At least having this option beats "Build 16553 is downloading several gigs over your hotspot, it’s important to do this now trust us” from Windows 😒
I concur, my 7-year old laptop can run most light DEs flawlessly, such as Cinnamon, XFCE and i3, no matter the Linux distro or kernel. It struggles with even a fresh Debian GNOME install.
Why would you say something so brave yet controversial?
Try installing Firefox through
apt.
More like: Upside to Debian, you never have to worry about the latest malware and bugs! Downside to Debian, you have to use yesterday’s everything…
I am actually enjoying most of it, yeah.
My Dell monitor’s brightness can adjusted on Bazzite Linux out of the box but I’ve never been able to get this working on Linux Mint, Arch, Debian nor NixOS :/
That’s okay, just be very careful updating rather manually.
Same, this or the Breeze Snow cursor, depending on my overall theme at the moment.
My GTX 970 has always worked on Linux Mint, even when it was only a year old
Yes! Yes!! No!
I mean really, fuck Microsoft and Windows!
Looking it up, there’s a discussion on Framework’s Discourse, but nothing shipping yet.
The best hope at the moment is to buy and connect an LTE M.2 key card that connects over USB-A, which would work on any laptop, come to think of it.
As someone who’s come back to Mint after distro hopping several times, welcome home 💚
