      nothing wrong with Mint, but it isnt some magical distro, and I’m so sick of hearing about it that my ears pretty much hear Linux Moist
      every single “What distro should I try?” thread: “Mint” “I recommend Mint” "Why use x when you could use Mint?" “MINT!”… /rant

        It is not that it is the best distro, its that it is the easier onboarding experience for a windows user

          many distros fall into that category, elementary, zorin, kubuntu, etc. mint isnt even at the top of every such list
          just seems weird. I mean, the OP is pretty much a blatant commercial. “It just works-out-of-the-box!” yeah, they kind of all do
          but mostly
          I just wanna hate on the thing everyone likes, probably. I was a punkrock kid :-)

              Are you one of those ‘Systemd is bad’ type people too? I could see you making the argument that any distro that allows you to install systemd is bad, defaults be damned.

              I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic. Apologies if you were.
