Mint is the best flavor of linux. I recommend it.

I tried a variety of distros when I made the switch 9 or 10 years ago, Mint is by far my favorite. I've been running it continuously for at least the last 8 years.

Yeah, it just works and you never have to use the command line.

[–] oppy1984@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yep. Well unless you want to try some new thing that's not in the repo, then it's sudo apt-get for the win.

I'm actually allergic to mint. Can anyone suggest a version of Linux that doesn't have any mint in it.

I would say Ubuntu is the next best distro (if you want stability and easy of use)

Heh, flavour

(I like Fedora, but it obviously doesnt taste as good)
