Best linux for linux beginners.

Default configuration is good even for advanced users who just want to get there work done. Excellent support and decent customization options. If one want to live in debian branch of linux world, and don't bother about very high customizability, I'll say this distro is de facto distribution.



RESONS TO CHOOSE MINT :

Stability + software aviability with one of the best default interface with close to zero bugs

One of the best if you just want your work done



DON'T CHOOSE MINT IF :

You want rolling release distro (go for manjaro then).

Want "very" high customization of desktop environment (choose KDE or some window manager and build on it)

Your system have

Switched to LMDE4 to get off the Ubuntu commercial train and haven't looked back. LMDE is directly based on rock solid Debian 10 and I'm running it on 2 notebooks and three desktops, trouble-free. To the Linux Mint devs; dump the Ubuntu base and go with your LMDE edition. It's not worth the effort to fight the Ubuntu Snaps issue with them and a waste of your time at this point since LMDE is better than Mint 20. I've tried both...

With both of my kids in distance learning, I look for old hardware I can re-purpose for their online classrooms. One of the laptops I found is an Asus UX305F, which was under-powered running Windows 8, and got worse after Windows 10 update. A few times we had to wait 5 min for Windows to boot when class was starting. Enough is enough!



I found an old USB with Mint 19, installed it alongside Windows 10, updated to 19.3, installed Zoom, and my 1st grader prefers it over Windows, and it is a draw between Mint Linux and a Macbood for my 4th grader (he says he is indifferent).



Coming from kids with relatively limited computer experience (they are mostly on iPads), it says a lot about how smoothly Mint runs.
