No thanks, Mint is a great distro for beginners only
Oh come on! At least call me an unwashed peasant or something! How are we going to get a holy war going with that attitude?
All seriosuness, mint is honestly a good distro even for power users, i installed it on an ssd and used it on a pc a cobled together from parts i had lying around while my main pc was out of state (i left it behind at school for winter break) and i was surprised to find that it was about as easy to work on as arch or debian from a clean install
It sure is. Was the perfect distro for me to dip my toes in the water. It's been 2 months and I'm learning a lot and having way more fun with my computer than I ever have.
