I switched to Linux Mint (Cinamon) two weeks ago and I’m surprised how easy it was, and now wonder why I didn’t do it earlier. So far I have been super satisfied!
Linux Mint Cinnamon is awesome. I’m a developer for embedded linux systems and I run the current version of Mint on all my machines, even at work. Having a user friendly experience out of the box doesn’t make it not Linux/FOSS.
And if the ease of installation surprised you, just wait until you see what system updates are like compared with windows!
I updated two of my systems to Linux Mint 22.2 yesterday and the entire install process runs in the background in about 90 seconds without disrupting what you’re doing (I was in a meeting while I let it install). Then you reboot whenever convenient and that’s less than another minute.
I think it’s more that I’m a person trying to give an honest recommendation to help a fellow human being, and it is the ADS that try to be like ME! :D
But you’re right. My strategic placement of exclamation points make it read like an infomercial script. Remember the meme about using occasional exclamation point in work emails to seem not insane!
The PC is in another room but the desk for it isn’t in place yet. And he knows it exists. He’s just in third grade and is not quite an Operating System Snob just yet.
And that’s why, as Windows 10 is about to expire, I am switching to Linux
I’m gonna do the same in october. Though I’m really dreading it, even though I know it will be fine and already use Mint on two other computers.

Reads like an ad, but I support this motion

I’m also on Mint, and love it.

I’m using Cinnamon and so’s my wife!
My son is too, he just doesn’t know it yet. ;)

Gotta indoctrinate them early
