The Book of Giants is fascinating and controversial. Dead Sea Scrolls, we. have the opportunity to examine the writings since it's apparent suppression.qq
Mint was my first serious distro after Ubuntu. I mained it for years until I moved onto Fedora and Arch (and now Tumbleweed). It's such an incredible distro!
I've started to use this year on my old gaming laptop. Definitely convinced me to make the move away from Windows for my main computer in the near future.
I LOVE Linux Mint! In fact I'm still using Linux Mint! In 2021 I got bored and said "Hey, why not try to switch to Linux? Most of the software I use is FOSS, it couldn't hurt", and I did. I installed Linux Mint as a dual-boot with Windows!
In 2022 I got a new computer. I tried to install Linux Mint as a dual-boot with Windows to it as well, except things went wrong with the installation, and I got some sort of Linux phobia from it. I ended up using Windows only for a couple months. In October that year, I re-gained the courage to re-install the Mint partition, and everything went well!
I'm still using Mint on that computer. I'm typing this from here. I rarely boot into Windows (usually to play games). As I said before, I absolutely love Linux Mint! Happy birthday!
I did some distro hopping after I saw Canonical take a route I didn't like (way back when) and found Linux Mint to not only be very simple, but also to have the Mate desktop environment 🥰 It now lives on a live-usb that I have "in case of emergency", but when the time comes (and if my gaming laptop is compatible) I will remove Windows 😊 and install Mint 🥰
Linux Mint is amazing, it's the first thing I installed on my desktop when I built it in 2014 (Mint MATE 17.1). A year later I installed Windows 7 in a dual boot since I needed it and didn't want to use my old HP laptop for it too much because it was at the point I was unsure about it. Eventually I just ended up mostly using Windows enough so I used the Mint disk for media and was on Windows on it until this year when I installed EndeavourOS on an NVMe drive. I miss Mint KDE 4.
um yeah… once almost made a distro from it… but: firstly it broke due to btrfs FS and was getting stuck even before grub… and secondly it turned out that it were just dotfiles…
While Mint wasn't my first ever distro (that would be Lubuntu 18.04), Mint was the first distro I picked after I got fed up with Windows and decided to only use Linux. I have since changed distros multiple times but Mint will always be one of my favorite distros ever
I have been using Linux Mint fulltime since 2017. It just works. I have even installed it on old 2010 era iMac's and Mac Mini's. Mint is my go to distro.
While I tried Linux Mint several times over the years, I never stuck to it personally. I eventually went to EndeavourOS with KDE Plasma and that's where I still am.

Since my only use for Windows these days is gaming and I’d really like to get away from it, after I found an old #MacBookPro (from 2006!) stuck on Snow Leopard hidden at the back of the cupboard I thought I’d give #linux a go, pur…
When I worked in the corporate world I had all the software keys for everything. When I left and started my own business I had none.
I purposely set up my business infrastructure around open source and after trying many distros settled on Mint as my daily driver many, many years ago.
Mint, while not absolutely perfect, has been my solid, reliable partner.
I found a stack of Mint install CDs in the spring, going back to my first, #LinuxMint 5 in 2008! After copying them back.to ISO files, I have a Mint 5 VM running in #LinuxMintDebianEdition 6, and what's striking to me is how familiar the old system feels. Under the hood it's different, GNOME 2 is not Cinnamon, yet it's still recognizably Mint.
I love your website, guys! You've given me so many things to think about and suggested things to try over the last several years. Keep up the solid work. 😀
congratulations #linuxmint ! You're the distro I most often test in my VM because less problematic than others. You're not the first one though, that award goes to a distro that doesn't exist anymore I guess, Linux Mandrake... but that was more than 20 years ago. 🙃 no VM, just a dual boot install.

I do sometimes recommend it to others though...

Maybe you wanted more exciting stories. But I like Mint.
