Linux have a lot of drivers problem like wifi, and Bluetooth. No support for proprietary software. A boomer way to use a pc. Sucks in gaming. 0 drivers for finger print, touch screen and al those fancy features that everybody wants. The worst Nvidia drivers support. The most toxic community in IT. Ugly looking UI. Recently the OS with most cyber attacks passing Windows. Not run well in every PC. People and companies use it because is free (Imagine the quality). Is a weak OS with not many apps out of the box. Poor people with old weak ass pc waiting for the hard work of other the get it for free and then call it (Open source). You can't make money in the linux market. Drivers by 3rd partys random guys from weird countries over your network hardware. Linux users live talking shit about windows, Microsoft and bill gate all the time, and they can't get that out of their heads and live in peace with their OS. Appstore looks so fake, poor, ugly with few ugliest poor programmed apps. File system sucks. No big companies apps like Adobe or Office or streamlabs, Icue. And I can continue and this come from an ex linux user (for 5 months and I switch back to Windows 10) The worst experience ever! -

Chris, would you be willing to do a video on Zorin OS for tech illiterate Windows users? They've gone to a lot of work to make it familiar and little work for those who don't want all the customization Linux offers. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts, but I've heard others compare it to Mint and say it's -safer- for non-power users like parents, in-laws, etc. I have my parents on Windows 10 because I didn't think Linux offers a viable daily driver for casual browsing/email type users, but I hate all the constant worries about updates and viruses and subscriptions etc.

I started with Mint 19.1 XFCE, had a few speedbumps (with an old nvidia card - nuff sed) - got that sorted. Upgraded through to 19.3 which broke the nvidia driver. Installed Pop OS as a proof of concept to see if my card would work (nearly fell in love with it, just got put off by gnome tweak tools)...it worked. Went back to 19.3 and replicated the Pop OS nvidia install - which for me, just meant adding the vulkan package. I've never looked back since day 1. Mint rocks. Linux rocks. XFCE really rocks! lol...

Well, I would suggest just pure Ubuntu. In my opinion the Mint version system is strange and wont always work with Ubuntu tutorials. Manjaro is also a great option if you want the latest and greatest software.
If your new to GNU/Linux I recommend these programs.
Lutris (gaming)
KDE (desktop environment)
PulseEffects (audio effects)
Terminator (terminal emulator)
VLC w/ DVD support (Media)
Virtual Machine Manager (KVM/Xen VM support)

100% Mint is the perfect distro for Windows users making the switch. When I first decided to move to Linux as I wanted to take back ownership of my computer. I played with PopOS at first, but I found it didn't feel right. Mint had me feeling at home in no time, I love it. Now that I'm comfortable with Linux I've made the move to Manjaro because I want to be more on the bleeding edge. I still need training wheels, so distros do matter to me :P

Hi Sir Chris, good day to you. I would like to ask help from you. I install linux mint in my laptop, then later on i decided to install back my windows 10, but, it says that the hard drive doesn't support NTFS. I did not know about, that i should have done a partition one for ext3 files and one for ntfs. Now i would like to ask if there is a way i could resize the existing partition so that i could use both system. Dual booting.

Hey Chris. Loving your work. I blasted Windows 10 from our old Samsung laptop just on two months ago and loaded up Mint. Working well for me as a daily drive for internet, Netflix and even starting to experiment with Gimp. Biggest issues I had were getting the Bios setting correct to all ow the machine to boot from the USB and once I was up and running, the touchpad was all over the shop so I had to install the Synaptics package.

I used to say Ubuntu was like windows but upside down and backwards. But over the last 10 years it looks more and more like mac os. So i had used fedora and debian for a while. But Mint I love that it works and looks a lot like windows. So it has quickly become my go to Linux distribution. I haven't spent that much time with it but I am eager to take deeper dives into Mint in the coming. Months.

ALOT of people reccommend PopOS but I have tried it on three different machines and I found it very buggy and on all three systems. I ran it on my laptop for about 6 months and eventually I just gave up out of frustration. It looks great and its a great version of Ubuntu, but I just couldn't keep it going. I switched to Ubuntu for my laptop because it is so stable.

I'm an experienced admin and I think it's unfair to label Mint as a n00b distro and that hardcore users should be on Arch...Mint is an absolute rock solid distro where everything works out of the box and if you do not wish to run Windows or macOS then I can't recommend it more highly. I think it is arguably the best PC OS out there right now. It's that good.
