Huh? I was implying Mint shouldn’t be so highly recommend. But okay start being toxic. Why switch distros when I can just use Windows and delete Mint 😂.
Linux Mint being the top distro recommended by searching the internet really does not help the broader “year of the Linux desktop” goal. Like I think we are there for the right distro if you skip disk encryption and opt for home drive encryption, but that itself is not easy info to come by.
For example:

I mean on the PC i built in December, I learned my lesson over the 5+ years of distro hopping and I’ve been the least disappointed with fedora KDE.
Unfortunately I had my dual boot Linux setup from years ago on this laptop and just didn’t want to nuke it till now (slow internet speeds that needed 3 reboots, no drag n drop, this gaming throttling issue, hard drive filesystem corruption). And now windows 11 is working as desired so I’m just going to single boot till I need Linux desktop on an old gaming laptop.
Key word deleted. I got down voted for not providing specs and distro.
And yeah I’ve been trying to abandon Reddit but I guess that makes me a troll. I posted a second question regarding my hard drive on reddit because the first post got too much Linux defenders. I’ll probably post the question here too, to see which community is more helpful.
What a broken mindset when Mint is literally glazed as being usable.
“relatively new issues.” LOLOL. Yeah please keep coming up with excuses for how Mint wasn’t responsible for bricking the NTFS file system (last updated 2001) of my hard drive (2022) after just a few months of using the drive with Mint when it was working fine with Windows for almost 4 years.
Yeah imagine lacking the self-awareness that you think normal people talk like this in real life. If you think being passive aggressive by default is normal, then you’re either anti-social or mentally deficient.
Of course it’s too much when Mint not only can’t be used for couch gaming but it also can’t be used for HTPC since it bricks an NTFS hard drive. Oh wait, don’t tell me you’re now going to victim blame and say how I should’ve reformatted the drive when I decided to daily drive Mint as an HTPC.
I already daily drive Fedora KDE on my PC; I don’t need someone being condensing and passive-agressive just because I dared insult Mint for being worse than Windows 11.
