>>58022215
except for usability

>>58022157
Not exactly, there are some subtle differences like for example checking hash and burning ISO to USB via just a right click without any third-party tools, and some people report a better OOB experience as well.

Also, with Unity you gotta install Unity Tweak Tools while you can just customize Cinnamon to a better degree without installing any extra stuff. Nemo is also a better file manager than Nautilus. Not saying you can't replace this stuff in Ubuntu but Mint just gives a better default experience in general.

cinnamon the panels arnt very customizable and some icons and themes dont work with mint like they do on something like manjaro or arch

>>58021375

Yup.

For those of us who don't like fucking around with shit constantly its really breddy gud.

>>58023544

I don't really have any problems with mint, but why not just use ubuntu with cinnamon? That way you get more updated repos.

>>58022157

They just take the time to config and provide drivers for everything, and give a polished interface.

And it pays off.

What is it good at?

>>58023563
Well, apparently this anon's shit broke while installing Cinnamon on Ubuntu

Isn't this a meme? Wasn't Mint cool a while ago, and now it's shit because of package overlap issues and other weird stuff?

>>58024827
If I understand the situation correctly, it was cool a while ago, then it was shit because of package overlap issues and people misunderstanding the update policies, and now it's mostly cool again because most of the package overlap issues have been fixed. But plenty of people still misunderstand the update policies, probably because of the overly dramatic language Mint uses for them.

Hey OP, I installed the Numix icon pack, but how do I change the icons color to red?

>>58022678
t. someone who never used Mint

>>58023309
But its just goog old arc + numix.

>>58027046
Its says NumixDarkRed in his screenshot, anon. Its a different icon pack.

Mint with MATE or Cinnamon
OR
OpenSUSE with KDE

Otherwise, will never have the ultimate experience with linux
t. someone who tried almost every single distro (ubuntu/arch/gentoo/fedora/etc.)

>>58027221
I also tried out almost every distro ever since I've gone full Linux and I always come back to mint.

>>58027278
I used mint for a continuous 4 years, the same installation (no refresh install), never broke, always update/upgrade smoothly, and my usage is intensive (some programming as well as virtualization etc)
All other distros there is always something stupid or will broke out of nowhere (except OpenSUSE and debian stable)
So, if anyone new to Linux, I directly send them to mint.

>>58025429
> I am not linux, so bear with me if this sounds stupid

So, there are multiple update sources for most distros. Mint is basically Ubuntu with a different DE. What the Mint developers did was name some packages the same names as packages in, say, the Debian update sources.

From what I understand, if you were to, in a terminal, say, "apt-get install *software*" and it were to do so, and say *software* was dependent on superLinxPackage, there was a chance superLinuxPackage existed in both the Mint update channel and in the Debian one.

Package managers aren't equipped to handle this, and just chose one, but if it chose wrong, *software* wouldn't work because it would think it had all it's dependencies, but in fact, it would not.

The bigger issue here is that, from what I understand, it showed the novice and reckless approach of the Mint developers, and kind of got Mint branded as a child's distro that only really existed for the eye candy, while babies "developed" for it behind the scenes.

I think this is a better summary, I didn't realize it was here >>58023358

>>58025418
Thanks anon, these things are so hard to keep up with.

I only have my desktop, and have no need of a laptop. I'm not spending Mac Pro prices for that under-performing cylinder, and I can make a hackentosh that well outruns a Mac Mini for a little more than half the price.

I'm not saying Macs are bad purchases, my wife has A Macbook Pro and she loves it. OSX looks amazing, and I'd love to run it. I just can't justify the cost of official Mac hardware.

Does i3 have fixed tiling layouts like awesome or do I have to manually tile every time?

I like the idea of manual tiling but only on top of preexisting layouts.
