It's a "distro" that's literally built on top of a "distro" that's built on top of an actual distro. Just skip the poorly maintained / spyware-ridden rebrands and use the real thing???

Good for you , I dislike it because it didn't agree with my hardware. I just prefer Debian/CentOS or Manjaro if I'm being lazy.

Use whatever get the shit done

Because normans rooo

When Windows 10 came out I immediately left 7 and went to Mint. If I were to move again, where should I go? I'm considering Elementary.
