Good day, I have a question: how did you solve the bluetooth problem and the sound problem? Bluetooth works but poorly and port 3.5 for headphones has a red light on, where can I look for drivers?

I have a MacBook Pro 15 2015 16/256 intel i7 2.2 frequency

I also use Linux Mint Cinnamon. too. I was really happy when I just plugged in the network cable and everything worked perfectly - except for the networked photocopier/printer. I had to learn how to do it from scratch. I eventually managed & learned, being able to hunt down a driver, but someone just below my linux/computer skills would have faltered. But I highly recommend it at work.

[HeartInLight]

I would recommend Zorin OS, and also Nobaru as well. Those are 2 fantastic distros.

[ovidiuov]

I don't understand why somebody who is talking about OpenSuse it takes in consideration only Tumbleweed? What's wrong with Leap?

[kychemclass]

I iuse Linux Mint (Cinnamon) at my work which is 100% Windows (errr, apart from me) and it works great.

I won't suggest ubuntu and fedora anymore for quite Redhat and Canonical's questionable decisions

[adl-guaruja]

O bom e velho Debian ficaria bem nessa lista. O Debian é estável seguro leve e suporta Appimage, Flatpak e tem 58.0000 dpkg. É base para o Ubuntu Mx Linux e Linux Minti

[nemowei]

The kernel version of a Linux Mint is too old.

[kdato]

Are just you reading out loud what each distro says on its website?

[Derpingtonshere]

You forgot to mention the other flavors that fedora has

KDE Plasma, Xfce, LXQt, MATE, i3, and Sway.

[rbartig]

Use what feels right for you as it's your desktop.

[NADEEMKHAN-sjhn]

I say that use debian testing, mx linux or Linux mint Lmde instead of ubuntu

Stay away from ubuntu as far as possible


I use Archlinux btw
I also like debian unstable

Ubuntu is a pointless distro for any users. You should go with debian or for new users Spiral linux which is debian but better installer and starting out of the box with snapper to prevent new users to be affraid from braking their system. Also you are not forced to stick with ubuntu's forced snap packages which is closed source to their servers. Snap itself is opensource but the server component itself is hard coded to be only Ubuntu's
