Been using Mint for weeks.

The experience has been “meh” at best.

  • Hours to set up drivers for a ten year old HP printer and still can’t get it to print manual duplex
  • Spotty cloud data linkage
  • Terrible office suite
  • Packaged browser (Firefox) crashed all the time before I replaced it
  • Unintuitive experience
  • Software “store” that has out of date versions of the software it offers when it doesn’t have competing versions with the same names
  • Arrogant, unhelpful user base
  • Splintered distros resulting in “oh, well, if you’re using (your flavor) then these features might not work, I designed the app for my custom-rolled Klingon language exclusive, not your dumb pleb vanilla Linux”
  • Ocean of trash apps to sift through
  • Forty-thousand “themes” for “customizing” the look but no means of optimizing your install without the smash your dick in a doorway hell of intricate command lines requiring not just precise keystrokes but you’d better know exactly what flavor and sub-tier of that flavor you’re running to even hope to see it work
  • No method of running apps anyone would use on a regular user basis
  • Wine is called that because it drives you to alcoholism
  • GIMP is no substitute for Photoshop, and anybody telling you it is has never used Photoshop

Other than that, it’s been a great experience.
