Here Linux Mint is Existing Again, so I am Back Using It Again.

Not only have the earlier problems that drove me away from Linux Mint been solved, but Mint has become what I have always dreamed it would one day become, a distribution for basic Windows computer users.

Cheapskate’s Guide to Computers - Here Linux Mint is Existing Again, so I am Back Using It Again

When new versions of Mint came out, I upgraded as one would expect, but when Mint 17.3 began behaving badly on all my computers back in 2015 or 2016, I stopped using it. Instead, I went back to Mint 17.1 and stayed there for as long as I could. Finally, in late 2019 or early 2020 when version 17.1 was no longer supported sufficiently for me to install new applications, I had to give up on Mint completely and move to Parrot OS.

Two months ago, I decided to test the most recent version of Mint. That was Mint 22.1, and I chose the MATE desktop environment, which uses the Metacity windows manager. To my shock, the problems have finally been fixed after nearly a decade! I don’t know who the Mint team had to fire to make Mint work again, but whoever it was, thank god they did! So, since here Mint is existing again, I am back using it again.

    Last year, replacing an HDD killed by constant Windows 11 churning with an SSD onto which I put Mint was my first ever hardware modification.

    It was surprisingly easy, and Mint was super speedy, where Win 11 was super slow (like, 15-30 seconds between clicking on something and getting a reaction).

    Good luck with your transition!
