lxmcf199507y@Andrian honestly I wouldn't, id rather a full CLI than mint, it's just very garish and reminds me of windows 95 era interfaces... Just higher resolution
-
lxmcf199507y@speedForce exactly, it's too full and it's not the minimal kind of dull that can look very good
-
lxmcf199507y@Alice that is so strange... I have only ever had that issue when trying out Apricity OS, never heard of it happen on mint :-/
-
lxmcf199507y@Michelle eh, just looks dated and messy to me.
But then again I loved the unity 8 shell and I love material deisgn so my rates are very very very different -
@Alice I tried to install it yesterday, but had to do some stuff from the live environment because its installer failed but successfully fucked up my grub before it did.
So I decided to make a bit of a distro hop from Antergos and installed Manjaro. Amazing so far. I don't see a compelling reason to install a reskinned Ubuntu. -
lxmcf199507y@mzeffect never understood the point of reskinned distro's, I just install standard Ubuntu, install a theme and icon set and done

Guys, this is Linux. Just go grab an XFCE Mint distro, customize the hell out of it and its perfect.

rjedlin4517y@Pogromist If you really think that, check out Solus. You'll realize that Linux can be beautiful, but people choose for it to not be because they feel more comfortable with a slightly less beautiful but much more accessible interface.

I like simplicity in an OS because that means most of the time was spent in its functionality
-
@rjedlin I know that linux has distributions with nice ui, but most of programs are without ui or with ancient design.
