Are there any Linux Mint users out there ?

**bongo** · 09-09-2015, 03:48 AM

I've been using Mint for about 5 years now (IIRC) and love it.
Never had so much as a hiccup and can't see myself changing to another platform.
I'm currently on LM 17 "Qiana" (Long Term Support Release).

I started with Fedora 5 whenever it was that was current. Some years ago. Steadily moved on through various releases of Ubuntu on to Mint. Now happily using mint 17. I've got a laptop with windows 7 installed for certain applications, but Linux is my main wheel.

Was using bodhi linux, based on ubuntu I think for about 4 years until computer took a dump. Looking for a replacement comp but will never go back to windoze. Haven't looked at mint but will now.

Grazor,

I'm not particularly "Linux or computer literate" but this works for me.

Tried Linux red hat in the late 90s and it was too geeky for me, but the speed and problems with various windoze OS drove me crazy. Installed Bodhi and not 1 problem in 4 years.

It's the easiest Linux distro to live with I've found. No need to go looking for apps, extensions or codecs: they're all there. And should you happen to want an app that wasn't loaded out of the box it's easy enough to round up, you almost never need to download installation packages and you will probably never need to install anything off the command line. If you don't know what all of those things mean then you'll be fine without them; just treat Mint like a foolproof Windows and it's hard to go wrong.
