because like most boards on Sup Forums, its full of autists, and they find a sense of superiority in using less popular distros.

wasn't mint the one that had their download server popped and their downloads backdoored?
Doesn't exactly inspire confidence

It was Ubuntu, and they removed it, dumbass.

Because Win7fags will recommend Mint
Because other newbie Linux distros (Elementary, PCL, Zorin) will have to compete with Mint

It's a "distro" that's literally built on top of a "distro" that's built on top of an actual distro. Just skip the poorly maintained / spyware-ridden rebrands and use the real thing???

Good for you , I dislike it because it didn't agree with my hardware. I just prefer Debian/CentOS or Manjaro if I'm being lazy.
Use whatever get the shit done

Because Sup Forums hates distros that actually works.

They are awesome because of their efforts of a better Linux desktop, creation of many user friendly applications, bringing it to the average Joe.

it is accessible. Sup Forums hates it, if something is accessible, so that everyone with a minimum of smarts can use it.
Because if it is accessible for everyone, Sup Forums isn't the one with obscure insider knowledge anymore

Maintainer is a moron when it comes to security
Jack Nelson
A while back there was something about it delaying security packages.
For me personally, it's just that I only care about XFCE and KDE and I can find those in Xubuntu or Kubuntu.

When Windows 10 came out I immediately left 7 and went to Mint. If I were to move again, where should I go? I'm considering Elementary.

I have been using it for around 3 weeks now on a laptop, it's some good shit.
