Why haven't you upgraded to Programming Penguin Mint 18.2 yet?
Arch still boots
Why would you use mint instead of just installing Cinnamon to Ubuntu or Debian?
Because Fedora is all I'll ever need
Botnet

which one has the newest compilers, etc? I'm looking for a distro with GCC 7.1
>>61262152
because Debian doesn't make it easy if you need non free drivers and codecs and because Ubuntu + Cinnamon is essentially a less polished Mint

Eh keksu

just use Debian with the rolling release sources
if you're scared of stability just use it in a vm

I liken starting one's computing career with Linux or BSD, to being born in East Africa. It is intolerably hot, your body is covered with lice and flies, you are malnurished and you suffer from numerous curable diseases.
But as far as a young East African can tell, this is simply the natural condition and they live within it.
By the time they find out differently, it is too late. They already think that the writing of shell scripts is a natural act.

Not sure what you're talking about with the Yahoo toolbar. Never seen that. As for other stuff, I just don't use it. Are you running a 486 with a 20mb harddrive? I'm not autistic enough to care about some preloaded apps I'll never use.
