That isn't true thanks to Clem. But your system is ultra stable so, it is sort of a great tradeoff.

I am not using Mint myself but good for you.

I despise all the memers talking shit about Mint.

So I installed Ubuntu (first ever attempt at Linux), and I found drivers for my USB network card, but I can't figure out how to install them. According to the download page I have to compile it myself, but according to those resources i need a whole bunch of other resources. Basically I'm lost.

>>56082760
Connect your computer to the internet (ethernet or cellphone tether) and then run
>sudo apt install build-essential
in a terminal and then you can compile the driver.

Yes, that's right, you need non-broken internet in order to fix your broken internet.

Welcome to Ubuntu, enjoy your stay but leave as fast as you can.

Which is better: Ubuntu lr Mint?

>>56081060
No Devuan?

>>56084260
Depends if you like Unity, MATE or Cinnamon.

>>56084275
Isn't that just Debian without systemd in the repositories?

>>56084297
And less bugs just for that. Not memeing.

>>56084317
Bugs like what?
I've never had any bugs in Debian stable shits rock hard.

>>56084329
Devs hijack maintenance on packages that are not for systemd.

That's why Devuan is a fork, not a Debian project.

>>56082861
>you need non-broken internet in order to fix your broken internet
This happened to me with Windows every single fucking time.

>>56084366
Doesn't systemd have full sysvinit support though whats the problem with incompatible programs?

Bait.

>>56084466
In all honesty debian isn't the main cause of the issues in linux mint it's Ubuntu's shitty repos that are filled mostly with packages grabbed directly from debian unstable.
LMDE is a really good desktop kinda makes normal Linux Mint look like shit.

Mint is ok. It's prob the best transition from windows into linux. It's the first install of linux I got to work then I learned a bit more about it and got interested in lighter weight for fun but I was amazed at stable and easy and usable it was. I've used the live cd to diagnose a windows machine since then and booted up no problem. Pretty handy tool to have around. People hating mint are looking at the whole thing too closely probably. For a newcomer, the linux scene is a nightmare from a user prospective trying to get something up and running to use. This is probably why a lot of windows users look at it like it's just a toy. And it is a toy too. Just a like vehicle can be a toy as well as transportation.

get a terminal with 256 colors

does any linux distro have a spider solitaire, a decent graphical normie-compatible mail client and does it allow for remote login into other w7 machines with vmware*?
might switch my mom if the answer to all of these is yes.
* she needs to login into the hospital from time to time.

>>56089788
Ubuntu Gnome should have all that. A built in remote desktop and plenty of games, not that I've checked specifically.
