Great news, I’ve been using Linux Mint (Cinnamon) since 2016 as my only operating system without any regrets. The newer versions of Cinnamon keep getting more and more stable too. I have virtually no hard crashes or freezes anymore.

Best just to boycott those games/companies and play/promote Linux-friendly games.
18·1 year agoI use Pulsar for working on my many JavaScript projects. It’s a FOSS, community-maintained replacement for the canceled Atom text editor.
I’ve been using Firefox since 2002 when it first became available, at that point it was called Mozilla. It’s definitely the browser that I’ve used the most in about 25 years of browsing the Internet from home. Firefox has a great native Linux version and seems to be widely promoted by most distros. Since switching to Linux seven years ago I also started using Chromium (not to be confused with Chrome) and Opera, both of which also have great native Linux versions.
Fascinating news. On the statcounter site I also read that India’s Linux use stats for July, 2023 were at 14.15%. Incredible!
Hobbyist programmer. When I switched to Linux, I started using the Atom editor for typing out my JavaScript projects (mostly Electron apps). Now I use Pulsar, because Atom development was cancelled.

I also find nvm to be helpful for installing and using Node in the terminal.
Windows XP was the last Windows that I wanted to use. When it became totally obsolete, I upgraded to Linux Mint. I will never go back to Windows. I did not even start off using Windows. MS-DOS was my first operating system.
I’m a middle-aged truck driver. I’ve been using Linux Mint (Cinnamon) now for about seven years as my only operating system (without dual booting) since Windows XP Pro became totally obsolete. Granted, I’m a hobbyist programmer and lifelong computer enthusiast. However, there are definitely some easy to install and use distros out there these days.
Linux Mint Cinnamon. I’ve been using it for about seven years now. It offers a very good, traditional desktop experience.
That sounds extremely infuriating! Regarding Lenovo and Linux Mint, I actually had a very good experience with them a little over a year ago. I bought a new IdeaCentre 5i pre-built desktop tower and had zero issues installing Mint on it. All I had to do was press F12 and select to boot from the bootable USB to install, no screwing with the BIOS or anything. But I’ve never tried installing Linux on a laptop. I only use desktops.
