@PaperTrail Until now i found that Zorin is a good one, a sort of plug and play

"Guys why you are using such distro?"
because it simply works, never made any problems, and doesn't have a garbage-tier desktop manager like "unity", and no online-search or cloud-bullshit integrated - which are two facts that make it objectively better than ubuntu.
also: an operating system should be boring. it's an operating system, not a game. its whole purpose is to enable me to do the stuff i want to do with my computer. the less i have to interact with it to achieve this, the better. -
@tosensei are you using Linux mint? What would be the performance if you go down with Gnome instead of cinnamon
-
@dIREsTRAITS except for my steam deck, all the linux machines i've used in the past 5+ years are running mint.
since cinnamon is basically a fork of gnome 3, i expect no big impacts on performance, but i find cinnamon just so much more intuitive to use i haven't touched gnome 3 for ages. i'd actually prefer gnome 2 over gnome 3 any day of the week. -
@tosensei if linux mint is based on Ubuntu then why not Ubuntu instead of mint? It's like if you opt for an expensive car that has an engine found in a cheap car, isn't that logical?
-
@dIREsTRAITS more like chosing abarth over fiat. you have the same base structure, but with higher grade engine and parts.
-
@qwwerty hahah no i meant the gui or the desktop environment looks outdated, so what i did is i installed gnome and i customized it and it looks now more modern and elegant

Since I've been seeing a lot of Linux distros, here's mine
Not a daily driver but something to get me used to...
My thinkpad is finally back! 🤤
Why Linux Mint feels like a teenager who doesn't want to grow up and be a real man?
Over the years Linux mint is what it is and i can assure you will be in the upcoming hundred years, it's so boring by default, it is based on Ubuntu, if that's the case why the devs are re-inventing something worse than ubuntu, people will argue, it comes with customization, okay, do you call few extensions a gateway to customization? I installed it in a VM and customized it to what i almost wished for however, it still feels like a child who spoiled his room over and over, is that the best thing the devs can make? I try my best to love it but from the inside there is no love, it's like your girlfrienr who you pretend to love but you are disguised....
