I agree, everyone should use green Ubuntu
LMDE <3
Green Ubuntu, best Ubuntu!
Nah blue Ubuntu is way cooler
Kubuntu?
Ubuntu? never heard of her. also who seriously uses Ubuntu cinnamon.

That’s the secret to powering Linux mint.
Yeah I saw the thumbnail and thought exactly this lol 🤦♂️
Installed Mint last week after a ~10 year hiatus from using Linux (other than Debian on RPi)
I was surprised at how everything just works, even my network HP all-in-one worked after a simple “search for printer” and it also added it as a scanner without any input from me. In windows I had to install HPsmart software, login every few days for some reason and then some days it just refuses to work altogether
I also connected it to my home theater and I was able to set up 5.1 sound without any additional installations. In windows it took me several hours to fix this and sometimes the link between the laptop and the HT would be cut for some reason in the middle of a movie and I had to restart everything
NGL, most of them fit perfectly, unlike arch
I know a lot of noobs installing random .deb on their devian based distros not knowing how to add sources to apt (only those are added where the app developer has command by command tutorial), well to say it shortly, a mess. With arch there is just yay and you find everything 🤷🏻♀️
Are you all trying to be extra silly with these obviously unreasonable charts??
People come here for actual advice, they don’t yet understand the jokes.
So for the love of penguin can please someone make a serious version of the meme (ie where all suggestions are for Hanna Montana Linux)?Oh, I found it - posting as a PSA:

Mint’s a great OS.
I’m really just not an apt guy though, and Cinnamon has always been a little plain for me.
I have 2 monitors, one 144hz and one 75hz. I can’t use anything that only has X for that reason :/
Is that generally an issue on Linux Mint / Cinnamon X11? I have a 144 Hz and a 70 Hz monitor and they seem to work fine…
As far as I know, unless Mint has patched something very recently, that 144hz monitor is throttled to 70 right now. You still probably have better frame times, which matters, but is obviously not the same as a higher refresh rate.
It’s just a fundamental flaw in X11’s design that can’t be fixed as far as I know.
I’m pretty sure that my desktop is drawn at 144 Hz (on the primary display) and
xrandralso tells me that that’s the active mode. 🤷♂️Edit: This is with Nvidia (proprietary drivers) and VRR monitors.
If they somehow managed to patch it then that’s awesome, what does this say? I remember having a similar thing where it said one refresh rate but actually drew another.
It says “UNSUPPORTED: VSYNC is not available on the Linux platform.” and runs at a stuttery 133 fps. This test shows 144 Hz: https://fpstest.org/refresh-rate-test/ The Nvidia settings app shows 144 Hz + VRR are active and I can see that the cursor is rendered at >70 fps.
Then I’ll have to dual-boot and see if I can get it to work with my GPU :D
Good luck :)
I wish I could do android emulation on it tho.
wdym no waydroid?
Mint is OK for beginners, but definetly not for me, old ass pakages due to the Ubuntu LTS base, and the cinnamon desktop just make it unusable for me (Nothing against cinamon but I am a KDE addict)
Do you know the meme with the knucklehead on the left at the bottom of the bell-curve, the smashed brain moron at the top, and the sage at the right?
With this comment you are very close to coming off as the smashed brain moron at the top of the curve.
Everyone has preferences, but your preferences do not map to you being superior in any way. And just as importantly - you are also a beginner to some people. It would serve you well to remember that.

Lol. Dig it!
I am not saying thst I am better than anyone, didn’t mean it like that. I am just saying the demographic “beginners” like it a lot but it personaşly is npt for me
Fair enough.
