Well, yeah. I wasn't aware that anybody ever argued this.

Mint is the single worst distro to ever reach any sort of popularity.
They delay important security issues and have had their ISO downloads hacked in the past.
They cause namespace collisions in their package management, causing some software to be unavailable and missing or incorrect dependencies breaking other software.
The reason people think it just werks is that they distribute proprietary binaries without having proper permissions to do so.

Who are you quoting?

>>61897223
Agree.
I needed to install Loonix on some company computers for normies and found Mint to be great for that purpose. It has an old-fashioned DE which of which people are not afraid of. It has Libre office suite (though, I still had to install Language tool and some ms fonts separately). Also every wireless card works out of the box (can't say that about Ubuntu).
I mean, Slackware 4ever, etc, but when you need to install a system for normies and do it fast - Mint has no rivals.

Some productive discussion you've started there. Kys yourself.

>>61897223
Well i like linux mint. But i have question to /g/ it is really a bad distro and has any fatal flaws what makes it hated by /g/? Actually being easy to install/use is not a flaw actually because well, it makes a perfect gateway distro.

>>61897475
Don't worry, unfortunately /g/ thinks they were born knowledgeable already and everyone should be too. Sad when people forget when they knew nothing.

You make me sick.
Pic related. It's what a learning process is supposed to look like.

I've converted 3 coworkers into Mint since Windows 10 dropped. I have no fucking clue what's going on with Windows 10, but it seems like it's specifically designed to chew through a budget laptop in about 6 months. Meanwhile, 4GB of ram and an intel i5 allows them to do whatever they want without delay on Mint.

Easiest way to convert people is to tell them that you don't know how Windows works anymore, so you can't help them. Then they either have to take it to a pro, or give Linux a try.

Surprise, surprise, with a little notepad with basic instructions copy-pasted into each new installation, combined with "just keep my computer safe" on the update preferences, I never have to fix anything.

cant disable the mouse acceleration without using a script or terminal. cant lower the mouse sensitivity to normal levels. i dont even have a gaming mouse nor do i game. i just want a normal sensitivity

>>61897475
It is legitimately broken, in more objective and numerous ways than most other distributions. The details in >>61897302 you will never see argued against because they're all true. Other distros have a broken package or two that get fixed, mint is flawed from the ground up because of its incompetent maintainers trying to maintain a software repository pieced together from several others with conflicting versioning and namespaces.

Hahahahahaha you fucking faggot. It's literally just Ubuntu with a different DE and more bugs. For the vast majority of people, Ubuntu is the distro of choice. Kys

>>61899121
So Adrian is mad that a distro team has decided to use the "Microsoft Development Approach" to develop and deploy Mint?

>>61899154

Ubuntu is buddy-buddy with M$. That immediately makes me cautious about using it.

>>61899174
If that's the microsoft development approach, I'm glad I'm not running windows

All these claims are based on one blogpost from several years ago. Did anyone bother to check if they're still relevant?

Isn't that the best distro for /g/?

>>61897223
I have that shit.
It had a bug that reboot the computer instead turn it off.
Awful distro

>>61897223

It's not bad but it's just a bit of a ubuntu ripoff. If given the choice between ubuntu and mint, I'd choose the former.
