i use mint because it's like windows. why does that desktop look like a faggy macintosh with the docky. why do you have bullshit desklets on the right that serve no purpose except to make it look "computery"
why do you use light on dark theme
disgusting

Try using backtrack 5 r3
You won't be getting another (you) out of me I'm afraid.
>not using Manjaro
it's literally all the good things about Ubuntu and Arch in one.
Comes with all these nonfree drivers too so I dont have to worry about hardware compatibility

Wtf is this stupid solus meme. Is it like Justin bieber Linux?
>>57506351
this looks really garish op, is this the default appearance? if so that doesn't bode well for the design sensibilities of the developers.
>mint
What are you, 12? Get a real distro
>>57507485
mint is a real ass distro, you just hate it because it's more popular and offers more community support than what you use
>>57506857
Can you share that wallpaper?
>>57507527
see
>>57507277
you're distro a shit
>>57506351
bad signs:
1) Mint website was hacked
2) Ubuntu hates it.
>>57507626
it was hacked because it was the only one worth hacking
>mfw mint will replace the shitty gentoo and solus memes
>>57507625
we all know their website got hacked, nothing to do with the actual OS though (unless you installed the fake iso they posted on the hacked website that one day).
The other 2 links are
>statement from one Debian guy talking about security updates. Debian. Updates. let it sink in
>website talking about same statement
every security update Joe Schmoe gets for Ubuntu, which is what Mint is based on, I get for Mint
every
>>57507626
>Ubuntu hates it
probably because Mint is just a reskin of Ubuntu and a large portion of the mint userbase (me included) are Ubuntu expats who thought Unity sucked and were pissed off about the Amazon fiasco
>>57507603
Sure. It's 2Xed and I don't know where the original is BTW
And here's a bonus multi wall, it's a bit big for 4chan

>>57506351
Why would anyone use frankendebian mint when Solus exists?
>>57507803
because Solus is garbage, nobody but Kevin has it installed, and there is no userbase to help you out when you need it unless Kevin is on /g/
>>57507819
Why are you so hostile?
There's a Solus IRC, there's a support forum, and on top of that I've yet to experience a single issue running it so it's already better than mint.
Solus is the best made distro so far, the only issue is the lack of software in the repositories, but even still it's got all most people will need, and more.
>>57507851
shut up
>>57507277
>Mint developers simply decided to blacklist certain packages from upgrades by default thus putting their users at risk because important security updates may not be installed.
unless, of course, you just install them by selecting them and installing them in the graphical update manager. Admittedly, you do have to go to "preferences" and let it show you risky updates, by default they are hidden.
>they hi-jack package and binary names by re-using existing names. For example, they called their fork of gdm2 "mdm" which supposedly means "Mint Display Manager". However, the problem is that there already is a package "mdm" in Debian which are "Utilities for single-host parallel shell scripting". Thus, on Mint, the original "mdm" package cannot be installed.
oh no i can't install the original mdm package
>Their first app of this collection is an editor which they forked off the Mate editor "pluma". And they called it "xedit", ignoring the fact that there already is an "xedit" making the old "xedit" unusable by hi-jacking its namespace.
oh no the old xedit is unusable
>they do not care about copyright and license issues and just ship their ISOs with pre-installed Oracle Java and Adobe Flash packages and several multimedia codec packages which infringe patents and may therefore not be distributed freely at all in countries like the US.
LOL this is literally why Mint is the best choice for desktop computing. It works right away for doing all the shit normal, non commie Stallman pedos do with their computer
How did this gay solus meme start so quickly?
>>57507851
>why hostile
you called my distro a frankendebian, I called your distro a ghost town. I'm not a terminal hacker I use google to let the real computer guys who use ubuntu and mint fix my stuff when I need help
also calling it frankendebian is hilarious, it's frankenubuntu if anything
kevin
>>57507881
?
>>57507916
But it is a frankendebian, I'm not the one who gave it that name, google it.

>The only issue is the lack of software
That's THE reason people use Ubuntu and the likes you meme lord.
>>57507890
I like to think it was my fault. I was the first one to post FUCK OFF KEVIN, at least. With my trademark passive aggressive writing style and, you know, hatred of Kevin.
I'm not proud of it though. In some ways I hope it wasn't my fault, but if it was then I am eternally sorry. I wish I could apologise to each and every one of you.
At least the little lesbian looking mother fucker got doxxed (near as) and now probably lays in bed crying in the fetal position.
>>57506357
>>57506364
Samefag, shill.
>>57507931
Yeah but Solus has all the software I need, ships with a better desktop, performs better overall. I just like it more than Ubuntu because it's faster and looks better.
Also has every software I need.
>text editors
>web browsers
>media players
>office
>games
For me it's the best distro available.
>>57507929
>frankendebian
I know the term. I just think it's silly to act like Debian is somehow relevant in 2016. Yes, Ubuntu is based off Debian, but Ubuntu has taken off and is the dominant linux distro. Mint follows Ubuntu updates and everytime a new Ubuntu version comes out a new Mint follows
I use Kubuntu 16.04 and Mint 18. Not gonna lie, when I have an issue in Mint, I google the issue with the word Ubuntu in it because that's where the answer is
also >90 percent of my updates are ubuntu updates, >90 percent of my packages installed are from ubuntu repos
I'll be honest, if Ubuntu came out with Ubuntu Cinnamon, I'd probably switch back
>>57507885
>may therefore not be distributed freely at all in countries like the US
that's weird, I'm in the US and got Mint. Call the cops I don't give a fuck
>>57506568
My manjaro boot time is, like, 10 seconds, maybe a bit less. This chart is bullshit.

FUCK OFF MY BOARD KEVIN YOU SHILL FAGGOT REEEEEEEEEE
>>57506378
Tell me again how mac is superior to Linux. kek
OS X even comes with a built in PHP server/interpreter. Now that's bloat for you.
>>57506351
But I do.
I tried to use mint, it was fucking perfection really especially after coming from Windows 7, but I had a problem with the kernel being 4.4. I have RX 480 and it requires 4.7 kernel or later, tried to install 4.8 and 4.7 and both just fucked my install completely. Now I'm using Lubuntu but I still miss mint a bit. Sucks to be shit at Linux that I can't update the kernel without it breaking the whole distro. If anyone cares heres a horrible image of the error screen I got with 4.8 or 4.7
>>57509031
if it was like this for majority of users /g/ would actually consider it a good distro
>>57509151
Kek
>>57509031
If you want a stable rolling release distro that just werks and uses the latest kernel, try Solus.
Not even kidding.
>>57509151
This, lel.
>>57506351
what makes mint superior to mine?
i got really bad screen tearing with ubuntu and couldn't get it to stop. i didn't have that problem with fedora.
if mint is ubuntu based then fuck mint
>>57506492
this makes me wanna use gentoo.
implying i want to be that yuppy chad under solus user
I've used mint 18 for a few months now on my desktop and laptop. Literally had 0 problems whatsoever. For me it just werks and I am comfy with it.
>>57506416
why is fedora's boot time so slow? it's ever slower than windows
>>57509251
even slower*
i might install solus. i hate fedora's boot time
>>57509207
>1366x768
is that even large enough to tear?
>>57509268
yes
>>57509283
>>57509207
I have the same processor/integrated graphics as you and have no problem with screen tearing on mint. what version of Mint were you running? I have used 17.1, 17.3, and 18.1 on my laptop.
I also upgraded my screen from 1366 x768 to 1600 x 900 a week ago just so I could flame you
>>57509346
i tried ubuntu, not mint.
i haven't tried mint since 2009. it was pretty good back then when i had a dell dimension 3000 with intel graphics. i don't remember screen tearing.
Because I'm using openSUSE, where KDE is not horribly broken.
>>57506351
Why are spic desktops always so ugly?
>>57508109
>every PC has the same performance
solus devs got it to boot in 1.2 seconds, yet in that graph the tester only managed to do it in 3 seconds. Is it rigged? No, he is probably using a slower PC.
Now shut up and install solus
I guess I'll install Solus today after work on my spare laptop for funzies. It's a shitty laptop though.
>>57511783
fixed
>>57511808
should've made solus the biggest bar
