Have to use Windows for work (I’ve asked), the ads have been getting worse and worse on my work laptop. Today got a game ad notification… That’s clearly too far, right? Like I have to clear notifications, so I have to see it

I just bought myself one of those mini PCs and I’m thinking of putting in a Linux distro.

I’ve only ever used Ubuntu, would you recommend mint to me?

Not panCat but I’ve been using Mint (cinnamon) for a couple of months now, it’s snap-less Ubuntu (snaps are a controversial packaging format, plenty of videos on that) with a Windows 10-esque UI and lots of actually useful apps pre-installed OOTB, 9/10 can recommend (not 10 bcs it looks a bit…old,but I guess you can customize it or put KDE if u want)

Mint is good. It’s based on Ubuntu, but it has a more Windows-like interface. You’ll be able to follow along with most ubuntu tutorials while having a more familiar experience. It also supports a wider array of software and imo has a better ethos than Ubuntu (much like Ubuntu has a better ethos than Windows).

I use a MacBook Air M1 a lot for my work and otherwise but I’m growing tired of it. I can’t use dual monitors without special software. I wanted to buy the M1 Mac Mini and you double the price of you wanna upgrade the storage/ram to something usable.

My mini pc arrived today and I’ve done some reading on Mint after you mentioned it, so I can install Cinnamon or what have you and it sounds like it’s a pretty ideal set up! Thanks!

Ubuntu’s the middle path. It’s got great support.

Going all the way to some obscure linux distro should only be done when you know yourself what features you want that Ubuntu isn’t getting you.

It took a bit of time, I haven’t used linux in a while. I’ve been mainlining Mac with Windows for gaming.

Some configurations took longer than I thought. I’ve had issues with my monitors going down and not coming back up. I sucked at setting the grub bootloader. However, I’ve been using it for like two days now and I love it. I forgot how snappy linux can feel relative to the others. I’m excited with setting up my development environment with it.
