Because you can’t play Call of Duty on Mint?

Is Mint hardware? Because a Mac is the hardware. It comes with the software. Now it can also run Windows, and Linux.
But Mac is hardware. Very good hardware IMHO.

Thanks! I will save this for when I get closer to the 2017 no more 7 updating. If it’s easy, it’s for me.

Because I have these things called peripherals that I depend on, and would rather plug them in and have the machine make them work, than having to find bootleg generic drivers that dont really work, nor have to screw around with config files or a terminal in order to get them to sort of work.

I put the soon-to-be ex on Linux Mint 17.2 so as not to have to deal with her complaints about Win x. No issues since. It all just works.
I use it on one of my older laptops and it’s great.

I’ve been using Mint on my desktop and laptop PC’s for about a year. It is so fast and I have never had a crash or lockup. The pc’s are dual boot with Windows 10 (the snail), but I never boot up windows.

Would my Windows programs work with that? What about the older ones (XP-based)?

Having spent most of my time in “corporate” versions of Nix such as RHEL, what’s the draw with Mint? I use Ubuntu at home, and I love it. Is Mint just dumbed down? Can you choose between Gnome and KDE, or is it pre-packaged?

After 30 year of working on ever-changing, never-reliable Windows X.X, absolutely. Another good one is Ubuntu.

Linux is great for people who don’t have to do serious work on a computer.

Same garbage, different day, year, and decade.
Linux desktop is a solution for a small percentage of people. That’s reflected in the market share.
Linux is free and people know about it. There’s no need for these articles every couple of months.
