MALIBAL computers just added Ubuntu Cinnamon as an option for your computer build.

Not sure why you would compare distros without running system updates. Mint's version of cinnamon isn't older than Ubuntu's--it's newer, actually. It just looks older when you're running a 4-month-old installer.

I have been watching your channel since about 2017, maybe earlier? You are consistent and thorough, and same now as you were then. I love your work and your personality. I have always especially liked those live shows you host with a tinfoil hat on. I host an internet radio program, and it would be cool to interview you sometime.

I would miss not having the USB stick formatter and image writer tools in Ubuntu.

Well if I didn't say Linux Mint (Yes I am bias), those that know me would run me out of town on a pole if I didn't say Mint! 🤯
As for Cinnamon, it is true that Cinnamon can be installed on any Linux OS. I do it all the time but Linux Mint has all the other programs to compliment everything as a hole...

Awesome video!
Glad you did not way the "H" word!

LLAP 🖖

When Bookworm comes out, I would love to see you do Crunchbang Plus Plus versus Bunsen Labs. I can wish for Mabox versus Manjaro Openbox?

Great video, Tomm!

Linux Mint Cinnamon on the whole is my favorite distro. However, one of my PC's (a Beelink SER5 pro mini PC with Ryzen 5800H) kept losing all sound capabilities every 3 days or so. Mint just seemed to forget my PC had sound at all. Rebooting would fix the issue for three days then bye bye sound again. Currently trying out Ubuntu Cinnamon on that PC to see if it fares any better. Currently on third day, fingers crossed that I still have sound when I get home from work tonight!

I've played with Ubuntu Cinnamon for a couple of days. It's difficult to put my finger on it but it lacks the polish of Linux Mint, so I'm sticking with the latter for the moment. There are a couple of odd bugs as well - for example, no matter what I try I can't get Themes to open, and have been unable to work out why not...

STL, a "DistroWars" video I'd like to see is between BunsenLabs and Crunchbangplusplus!

I have Mint on my Dell XPS 15. One thing I did notice is preinstalled from the USB. It is almost not responsive. You have to give it time to load the installation screens. But once you get it installed and updated. It works like a charm.

[logangraham]

I use the charmap for things i can't type or don't know how to type. for example...

you can easily type $ but ¢ is often absent (on us_en keyboards at least)

Bonjour, merci pour ta vidéo. Une question stp. Ubuntu cinnamon est il plus stable que mint cinnamon ou pas du fait qu'il y a une couche en moins ( ubuntu _ puis mint cinnamon) au chargement ? Je suis fan de mint cinnamon. Les pilotes graphiques et autres semblent être moins reconnu sous ubuntu cinnamon ?
Merci

[RANDOMNATION]

How does Mint Cinnamon Vera (<< not sure if I'm identifying that correctly) compare to LMDE 5?

[moniquemm]

Thank you for the video. I love Mint, yet the process to verify and get the integrity of the mirrors download is time consuming. Right now, I waiting to find a good distro while sadly using Windows.

As a Windows user (like most people I guess), I had a curiosity about Linux, and tried Linux Mint. It actually worked quite well for me, aside from a couple of minor issues, and one major issue. The issues I had, demonstrated that normal people cannot easily switch to Linux, even now.

There were the issues of not knowing much about Linux to start with, but I got up and running and got the graphics drivers working properly, and played some games that I downloaded through Steam.

The first issue was that, if the system was left for a couple of hours, I'd come back to what seemed to be a frozen system, though it wasn't quite frozen, just incredibly slow. This happened every time if left alone. If the system was shut down in the usual way, and then switched on when I needed to use it, it was fine, unless left again. Not a massive issue, but a pain, as it required a hard-reset to resolve each time.

The bigger issue had was that although the updates had been coming through fine, I had some weird messages that I didn't really understand occassionally, but it still worked and so didn;t worry too much about it. After not using it for a month or two, there was quite a few updates available when I next booted into Mint, I downloaded them in the usual way, but when the system restarted, it didn't get to the desktop anymore. I was able to get the Mint logo, but that was all. I Googled a bit to try and figure it out, but basically, that was the end of my journey with Linux.

Windows has it's issues, but it is more stable than Linux it would seem.

I've downloaded the Ubuntu Cinnamon ISO and am looking forward to giving it a good trial run.
