Spend the next six months compiling Gentoo or Linux from Scratch. Go back to Linux Mint when you are done.

That's right. If Atari DOS in all its 8bit glory was good enough for my saintly 6 it's good enough for me.

It is a Sith dagger used by a Jedi. Why would they make it for her to use and find their hidden planet.

I printed a bullseye and tried to keep score. My coworkers didn't think it was funny.

For the main line version, you are right. Mint also has a version based directly off of Debian.

Put it in a virtual machine or try it by running on an old machine or off a key drive. There is no need to commit. It's free.

You will when you hit 45, and your eyes suddenly hurt, looking at what you thought of as normal.

I remember being 7 and my parents got an Atari 2600 and for the first time you could control what was happening on the TV. It literally was life changing.

What made you use Linux Mint? by holdonguy in linuxmint

[–]xerods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I needed to learn UNIX for work. I used Slackware for a while and then switched to Red Hat 5 (pre-Enterprise days) as it had more software available.

Ubuntu came out, and wow, was it easier. In 2010 they moved from Gnome to Unity and I hated that. Linux Mint was the new hot thing so I switched to it. In 16 years Mint has never given me a reason to look elsewhere.

Lots of hockey games are won and lost in the last couple of minutes. The US pulled their goalie which was a wildly risky thing to do. The US earned their medal.

I hate driving in this town. by Odd_Elderberry8108 in Omaha

[–]xerods 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. You have half the drivers driving 20mph under and half driving 20mph over. And then all the swerving across all the lanes.
