Is Mint still the go to aesthetic just werks distro?

I would just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Mint, is in fact, Ubuntu/Cinnamon, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Ubuntu plus Cinnamon. Mint is not a GNU/Linux distro unto itself, but rather adds another free component to a fully functioning GNU/Linux system made useful by the software normally shipped with a Ubuntu distro comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the Ubuntu distro every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Ubuntu which is widely used today is often called "Mint", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the Ubuntu distro, developed by Canonical.

There really is a Mint, and these people are using it, but it just adds a part of the system they use. Mint comes with the Cinnamon desktop environment: the program in the system that helps the user work with the computer in an intuitive manner. The desktop environment is an essential part of a graphical operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Mint with Cinnamon was developed after a group of users was unhappy with the direction Ubuntu was heading with the introduction of Unity: the whole system is basically Ubuntu with Cinnamon added, or Ubuntu/Cinnamon.

Does any other distro even come close in providing good looks and practicability out of the box

linux mint is way more "just werks" than kubuntu. looks better too but that's just my opinion

This is true, however you're wrong on some things.

Regardless, the bigger picture is that it literally doesn't matter what linux distro you install, as you can just add/remove whatever to create any distro. However package management differences exist, and also take what I said with a grain of salt because it's not entirely true. I just stated it that way for the sake of simplicity.

Fuck those vaporwave faggot for stealing our (/fit/) word. Aesthetic (as fuck) was our thing!

People who hate KDE are people who tried kubuntu.

>Not xubuntu.

Literally the just werks, hassle free, stable and decent looking distro while still being light enough to run even on a 14 year old machine.

Came here to post this

If you want to sacrifice the nicer aesthetics of cinnamon mint for some other form of ubuntu based distro, you may as well go full retard and install wattos.

only problem with it is screen tearing, but it's not that difficult to fix
