Wait, you’re telling me that I can use an OS that:
- Doesn’t require you to pay an arbitrary $100+ license fee to activate?
- Installer is simple and to the point and allows you to test the OS before installing it?
- Desktop UI looks modern while also being simple to use?
- Can be dual booted with Windows in case I need to use Windows only software?
- Can use programs like Steam, Bottles, Lutris and more to play my video games/run Windows software?
- Receives major upgrades every two years and point releases every few months, but changes are always conservative?
- Is constantly improving based on user experience and feedback and is entirely funded by donations and sponsorships instead of adware and rent-seeking practices?
- Is built on GNU/Linux and free software from around the world made by activists and volunteers, one of the fastest growing operating systems in terms of features and utility?
- Is customizable without feeling too overwhelming or feeling like you changed too much?
- All it takes is a free afternoon and a USB stick with at least 4 GBs of space?
- Has no Microsoft crapware, shitware, spyware and plain malware that everyone treats as normal?
Are you crazy? Is there really a third way? (yes, it isn’t perfect, but it will be yours)

While I don’t use Linux Mint, it is the perfect flavor of Linux for beginners. Anyone looking for an alternative to Windows should definitely use it.
I loved Linux Mint
I really do need to get back into it but I would need to do some re-arranging of drives/data and I’m lazy…
I remember when the license said that supporters of Israel couldn’t use it. I’m guessing it doesn’t say that anymore.
omg I did not know this. That is very based. Too bad he took it off because the ZIonazis and liberals were harassing him.
Fedora on my desktop and Mint on my laptop is wonderful
