Mint is always a safe bet for both beginners and seasoned users. It just works.

[ghosthunter]

The mint devs are some of the most successful with getting things to just work and they have a tendency to almost always make the right decisions regarding what they include in the distro. a lot of kudos to them.

The best thing about Linux Mint is that it is stable, simple, and trims the time you need to get to just using the desktop. And customizing the desktop is super easy, just choose from the selection or copy and paste the customized files for something personal.

him showing his super secure password, then revealing that this whole time that wasn't actually his password, were two plot twists in rapid succession that my heart wasn't ready for

[Dusta_Rhymes]

I find Mint to always be my go-to desktop OS. I usually mess around with Arch or Void (mostly Void) if I feel like tinkering, but theres so many great things about Mint that just work and make it such a great desktop experience that you can sit down and just do work on, without having to sweat over updates, packages, stability, etc. Best of all, based on Debian.

Cinnamon is such a pretty and functional DE

My mind was blown when I thought DT revealed the strong and complicated password! 🤯😂 - great video as always, another solid release from the Mint team!

Linux Mint, first distro that I have used when I switched from windows 10. Best distro for beginners.

Mint was my first distro when i switched full-time to Linux last year and it has the special place in my heart, even though i don't use it anymore

[Ferran-Gnu-Linux]

The best distro for all and for everyone. Since 2020 i got installed like the prime distro to work. I am very satisficed with it.

[hopelessdecoy]

The folder color picker is something I wish was in Kubuntu too, super easy Theme management. Good to see mint progress, great distro

[obedgift]

Thank you for your Point of View, I really like it

No other distro, not even a single one, is as user friendly (while also being polished) as Linux Mint.

Many distros claim to be beginner friendly but they get something wrong or ain't as Polished as LM in my opinion.

Discord isn't such a big program, it's just that Flatpak needs to download and install several runtimes on a fresh system. First flatpaks you install will always be huge because of that, but later as you will already have many runtimes, flatpaks won't install so much.

Been running LM with Cinnamon for 6 month in my main pc and I love it.

[Your_Degenerate]

After running Mint 21.1 and more recently 21.2 for a couple months I noticed something I didn't expect. There are almost always daily updates.

The majority were Nvidia drivers, Flatpaks and Flatpak's Nvidia drivers. I noticed 4 or more kernel updates as well in that time frame. Desktop Linux is just that busy these days I guess.

If you use Windows, you need to move to Linux Mint. I did exactly that three and a half years ago and I am super happy that I did.

[PlanetLinuxChannel]

Appreciate the detailed video as always! Recently did a video on this myself with some additional thoughts and analysis.

[sprinklednights]

I love it when Derek talks about his super secure password.

You should have mentioned the interesting feature of Mint, the System Report. The icon is down there beside the update manager, and it had already notifications for you. It's a great console that shows you anything missing on your system, or any enhancements that can be done.
