		ProllyInfamous 47 days ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Linux or Landfill? End of Windows 10 Leaves PC Cha... Would you now recommend Mint over Ubuntu 22? Will be my first Linux install, in over a decade... on a MacPro5,1 (still avoiding death, somehow). Already have Ubuntu USB installer created, worth reformatting for Mint?

Yes. I haven't liked plain Ubuntu for over 15 years. Linux Mint has a more traditional desktop interface, and doesn't push browsers in snap packages.

Thank, I just installed Mint.

Appreciate the inspiration / recommendation.
