#MintLinux

2026-01-01

After experimenting with #cachyOS, I’ve decided to stick with #MintLinux for now. Some of the apps I enjoy using are only available for Debian-based distributions.

Or any other Distro recommendation for someone who comes from #MacOS?

@angiebaby it's my go-to recommendation for most folks looking to try Linux. Solid, dependable, looks great, just works. I used it for quite a while back in the day, and I still have a soft spot for it. Well, the Debian edition, anyway.

#MintLinux is just a great OS.

To everyone using #MintLinux:

Please run `sudo passwd` and set a password for your root shell right now!

Failing to do so will keep your system wounderable to a password-less recovery root shell, which's only security measure asking you to press "Enter", nothing else.

I am doing #FullDisclosure of this massive #SecurityBreach right now, as this huge problem is apparently known for years already, but nobody seems to care at @linuxmint

With all the distros of Linux and versions of Godot and my knowing little about either, i've a curious situation & wouldn't know who to turn to for help. So initially I'm here on Masto. 🤗
Suddenly every time I load any version of Godot 4 it crashes upon starting new project. I say 'suddenly' but it could be since Mint updates. Its the Debian 12 version of Mint. Might anyone be experiencing similar?

@housepanther I just use #MintLinux then again, I don't run a true server, but I may host a video service on it for digital copies of my media to watch on tv. I mostly use it for games and design.

I'm not that well informed about the variety of distros. I just use what works for me.

3 weeks of using as my daily driver. Started with to wet my lips a little. Think I'll switch to soon (by the way).

Been learning about i3 tiling window manager.

Never expected to get such an increase in battery life switching to Linux! 8h battery life is crazy!

Here's an irritating pattern. I run my computer(s) 42/7, Tor and/or BOINC. Both have external drives. Both have Linux freshly flashed with Balena. Both more often than not after a hiatus boot into GRUB. Why?

Contemplating replacing Windows 11 on my now 2 year old Dell Inspiron laptop.

I had Ubuntu on my previous laptop but got sick of it being, well, Ubuntu. Tried it yesterday and the horrible UI ickiness came flooding back.

It seems like Mint is the distro de jour.

Anyone running Mint on a newish Dell laptop?
Does the sexy modern stuff like fingerprint login and touchscreen work?
Does dual boot deal with bitlocker?
Is Mint as great as the blog posts claim?

I lied. I never have used Arch. Settled on Fedora for Computer the Elder, which'll run Tor & BOINC 100%. Good to distrohop occasionally. Sticking with Mint on main.
