Linux Mint Omdömen 5

I recently transitioned my MacBook Air to Linux Mint after experiencing significant performance lag that had me considering a new purchase. On a recommendation from a friend, I decided to give Mint a try—and the results have been nothing short of remarkable.

The laptop now feels like a brand-new machine. The operating system is incredibly fast and responsive, yet the interface remains intuitive and familiar for those coming from a Windows environment. I was so impressed by the seamless transition and speed that I have already installed it on my desktop as well. I highly recommend Linux Mint to anyone looking to extend the life of their hardware.

Solid beginner distro, however it IS starting to show its age among newer "refugee" distros such as Zorin or Pop!_OS. Overall, solid, Ubuntu-based experience.

This is a negative review although I have only been on the site once, the negative is that if you are on a VPN the Pages Response is

"Forbidden
You don't have permission to access the requested URL on this server."

I came out of my VPN and the page opened, I immediately closed that page, reinstated my VPN and tried again, with the same.

“Forbidden

You don't have permission to access the requested URL on this server."

So, for a security obsessed “CLUB” of people who claim to have your privacy interest at heart.
Yeah! Go tell that to the marines.

I can do without their "help," I find information elsewhere thank you, I’m not opening up and exposing my system to them, otherwise WHY do they shut us out? If they don’t want to try poking around our systems, I can’t think of any other reason, I am logged into my home country not another, but then why would that make a difference?

It just proves that VPNs are worth having, even for so called safe sites/people!

Had nasty experiences on there. People are quite quick to profile you as a "bad person." Complained about it. The person seemed to be a snob and didn't mind deleting my account. I can't remember the details (I guess that will make them unhinged and hate me more and accuse me of being a liar) but was basically given the "RTFM" attitude.
That being said, speaking to people through the IRC Linux Mint channel was a lot better despite long waiting times and I appreciated that a lot more. Remember good times speaking to them where people were more than willing to help.

I joined the Linux Mint Forums way back in 2011. It was invaluable when I was fairly new to the GNU/Linux operating system, and in particular, when using the Linux Mint distribution. The forums are a little outdated in appearance but function well and has a great community. Highly recommended for newcomers to Linux and who use one of the Mint spins.
