    I mean, depends on your style. I’ve been running endeavouros (Arch spin) on my desktop for two years now and it’s finally felt like home. Though I did my first mint install in maybe 5 years just last week on my media player box in the living room (Cinnamon version) and I’ve gotta say, it really does feel like “ubuntu, absent all the bloat”. Runs really great on a 15-year old dell optiplex with almost zero bullshit beyond having to install vlc-plugin-base.

      First, that sounded so “I use arch btw”, love that.

      Second, I managed to get mint running on a 04-05 model dell. I was so shocked I was able to get it to boot. It didn’t run too well, but it was amazing!

      I’ve been recommended it as a windows replacement on my new MSI gaming laptop. I’m thinking about that or Zorin.

      I run Lubuntunon some old laptops I have for the kids, but I’m interested in seeing how well Zoron handles hardware.

      Really, I need to slap some boot usbs in it and try it out…
