the only reason this distro and Ubuntu exist is because people find Linux intimidating(how funny is that?)

When you install the MATE or XFCE versions of this distro, do they use the default DE or is it customized to look like Cinnamon? The screenshots on their website look all the same between the different DE versions.Also is MATE even usable in current year?

Cinnamon allows for plenty of tinkering, and updates out of my control are bad. KDE is sometimes bad yeah

You can tinker, configure the shit out of mint, break it with updates, and install KDE. But you can avoid it if you want.

mate existed before poetteringware and will exist after poetteringware, just like X11. mate is usable in 32mb instead of 32gb, just like X11. drop all the desktop daemons and use X11 like kde did ( https://github.com/loosestrife/matchbox202x ) and gnome 1 didnt bcause gnome 1 wanted to be based on corba because miguel de icaza wanted to work for microsoft

mint requires tinkering though my friend installed it to setup graphene on his phone and he had to get adb from some website because the version on their repos is like 5 years old

Anon09/09/26, 12:23No.109769856
I'm too dumb and lazy to be tinkering and updates ARE bad. I don't know what KDE is. I also don't want to use Windows.
What's wrong with it?
