Linux mint

>Linux mint
No, the word you're looking for is cinnabuntu.

It's not official yet

Why does mint even exist?

Id operate the shit out of her system if you know what I'm saying

because it just werks, unlike other shit distros

not everyone has the time and motivation to configure his computer 24/7

Why do you even exist?

Nigga that's Ubuntu.

LOL you must be new

It's a fixed version of Ubuntu.

>fixed version of Ubuntu
>still have to manually mount your USB flash drive through command line

Lol, mint 17.3 was fucking shit, so glad I went back to Ubuntu

What do you mean?

>fixed version of a distro that has a reputation for "just werks"
Mintfags are absolutely delusional

I mean, I would put a sharpie in her pooper

>manually mount your USB flash drive through command line
You act like you didn't fuck up yourself

>plug in usb
>error mounting
IT MUST BE USER ERROR

Yeah it is, you fucked up your fstab or some shit. Your problem is just not true for the other thousands of users out there

Sup Forums have best taste in women

>install Ubuntu
>literally just works, no need to do extra work to get things running

>install mint
>doesn't recognize printer
>Wi-Fi disconnects every 10 minutes
>touchpad got fucked, moved faster horizontal than it did vertical

Mint doesn't even deserve to exist.

>mintfags this delusional

Why so many mint shills on Sup Forums?
I tried 17.3 and it was fucking shit

i switched to mint after xp was abandoned and no problems whatsoever yet. i have no knowledge of computers and have no idea how to use the commandline thingy, i just copy paste sudo whatever from my google searches if i want to install a program. if i want to play games steam does everything automatically so yeah. mint is probably the best distro for people who want apple convinience for cheap.

I would just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Mint, is in fact, Ubuntu/Cinnamon, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Ubuntu plus Cinnamon. Mint is not a GNU/Linux distro unto itself, but rather adds another free component to a fully functioning GNU/Linux system made useful by the software normally shipped with a Ubuntu distro comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the Ubuntu distro every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Ubuntu which is widely used today is often called "Mint", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the Ubuntu distro, developed by Canonical.

There really is a Mint, and these people are using it, but it just adds a part of the system they use. Mint comes with the Cinnamon desktop environment: the program in the system that helps the user work with the computer in an intuitive manner. The desktop environment is an essential part of a graphical operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Mint with Cinnamon was developed after a group of users was unhappy with the direction Ubuntu was heading with the introduction of Unity: the whole system is basically Ubuntu with Cinnamon added, or Ubuntu/Cinnamon.

Is there any real difference between Cinnamon and Mate?

Nobody wants shit Brown things with African names. This obviously includes africans

Does it finally let you update in place properly? Or is a clean install still the safest way to update Mint.

So you would eat her shit?

There is an Ubuntu Mate but not an official Ubuntu Cinnamon.

Believe it or not there's a difference between Ubuntu Mate an Mint Mate. Mint Mate has its own little Mint touches, like the proprietary driver installer. Ubuntu Mate is a nice attempt, but I experienced stability problems with it and other issues.

>i switched to mint after xp was abandoned and no problems whatsoever yet.

It's not rocket science.
