I dont know anything about linux but my friend recommended mint. Have to say its the second best thing ever happened to me , first being losing my virginity.
As a not-that-tech savy person who is looking at getting back to using Linux (it's been 5 or so years since I was running Ubuntu, I dual booted for awhile but WFH generally has made me Windows only) this sounds like a distro I would enjoy
Does it yet support OpenZFS root on install (with encryption) or encrypted BTRFS root install? Snapshot rollbacks are just so handy and have saved me multiple times over the past few years... I'm not sure I could give that up. NOTE: I've only needed that for physical hardware installs. VM's have other ways to be snapshotted and rolled back.
If rolling back is all you need, Mint encourages you to use Timeshift with rsync.
Ah, but rollback was of /boot. Something rsync Timeshift isn't that helpful for.
I may actually give this a go.
With the addition of non-free firmware in Debian ( so better hardware compatibility ) and the rising popularity of Flatpak and Distrobox ( so access to newer software ), the advantages of Ubuntu are narrowing and the problems with Ubuntu continue to mount. Basing something like Mint directly on Debian makes sense to me.
I have been considering trying Debian with Distrobox / Arch to fill any application gaps. LMDE might fill that void instead.
Sweet. First line of the neofetch logo is still off doing its own thing, I see…
