        Woah, Arch users scares me, the way you meet someone that is much taller!

        How is your time so far with the new OS? Lots of new things and issues?

      I’m thrilled for seeing my RAM idle at half the amount it did when I was on Windows. Loving Mint… or any debian distro for that matter.

        In these trying times it helps more than ever to run an OS that sips rather than slurps that precious ddr5.

          Yea it’s funny I’ve asked the community before whats the best Linux distro for XYZ and have had all sorts of responses. It took running mint, manjaro, ubunto, pop, tried arch, to figure out that it’s a ridiculous question. The community can only help you pick one to start with, but given there’s 3 real bases and thousands of choices off each base it’s quite frankly up to preference for the most part what Linux distro will work best for you!

            Distro chooser is a thing. Or was. I’m not being able to open the site right now.

            From that point forward, it is up to the user to decide how much or little they want or need.

          I love when people try to criticize this. They cant imagine having options.

      Everyday that passes my satisfaction has grown since jumping over to Linux Mint.

      Yes! Our recent Linux Mint software update drama was some nice new quality of life improvements coming to the next version of KDE Plasma.

      Watching Windows 11 unfold from this side has been like sipping a cup of hot tea on the porch, wearing a good jacket, during a rain storm, while holding the storm door open for folks coming in out of the bad weather.
