Lmde would probably be more up your alley then although Linux Mint any version. Is usually the perfect happy medium versus dealing with bleeding edge distros that always have the newest whatever

Pika is not designed for a system recovery or system backup is designed for personal data backup versus time shift is designed for system restore not designed for personal data backup Each software tool has its pros and cons. But it is important to understand what your backing up and what's the best tool for the job

@@motoryzen that's a great point, thanks for the nugget

lmde 7 will come with debian 13, so it'll be another 1-2 years at least

Cool! I will have a look.

I did not mess with them in this video. Please check the previous video, where I clearly demonstrate and error with the actions sorting. Even though the save button is pressed, it still did not adjust the menu accordingly.

Wait for it to be tested a bit

Wait a few weeks after the full release then upgrading is probably fine.

Wayland is still experimental. You can test it if you like.

@@SwitchedtoLinux yeah I did, nowhere near ready, simply not an option for me right now

Well of course Weiland is not ready yet in Linux mint. Clem and his team even said themselves before mint beta 22 even launched that it wouldn't be ready for at least another year if not longer. Waylon's not even ready and other distros yet Siri there are still some basic pieces of functionality that don't even work

I don't know how many more times I have to post this comment before stupid Google RUclips will finally show it but here tries a third time. Of course Wayland is not ready yet in Linux Mint. Clem and his team even said so themselves that it would not be ready for prime time machines for at least another year if not longer Waylon isn't even radio on other distros if you want to get technical because there are still some basic pieces of functionality that don't yet work in Wayland

I agree that some Flatpaks are ridiculous in size, but who in their right mind would want to use Chrome anyhow?

Scheduled for Mint 23 I think, maybe 24.

As a long time Windows user who just switched to Linux Mint 3+ weeks ago I think Cinnamon looks fine. Granted, there are more fancy looking desktops out there for Linux, but it is functional and not that hard to adjust to your liking. Windows has not had a consistent UI since the Windows XP days and Windows 11 is way too strict in terms of customisation to be usable for me. The fact that it forces the bottom taskbar to stay there makes it absolutely useless for my ultra-widescreen that I use the sides of the screen to attach my software. For certain software I need the taskbar out of the way as to not obstruct the UI, but Windows 11 is not designed for modern screen dimensions by forcing things on to the user. It's for good reason I've stayed on Windows 10. Mint may look more 2010s in style, but there is enough customisation that you at least find something you like more or less. If there is a demand to make the GUI more modern then the devs at least seem to be willing to adapt.

​​@@Frozen_Death_Knight I think cinnamon desktop is great too. Easy to customise and not to over the top I remember when I first switched to linux and was recommended ubuntu granted it worked ok but I could never get used to the unity desktop it give me mac os vibes but once I started using linux mint I've never looked back I use the debian edition now. Hope your transition went well

@@LinuxLoader1287 Yeah, for the most part. Though it would have been a lot smoother if 22 had already been released, haha. The biggest issue I had was with audio production, or audio at all for that matter. My Roland Super UA-S10 audio interface just didn't work whatsoever and I had to manually install Pipewire and Wireplumber for my audio server to make it work, which was hard to find any info about. Ripping out the old system for the one that is going to be shipped in 22 made my audio hardware work flawlessly on Mint, which would have saved me several hours of trying to troubleshoot things. At least it works now, which is a lot better than it not working at all. I've had bumps on the road, but most have been manageable. The only real showstopper left is having Affinity/Adobe art and image editor software to work properly on Linux and sadly that is the biggest gap left that I need to fill by dual booting to Windows 10 still. I really hope there will be a viable solution soon. :)

You could just install LMDE and remove all the graphical programs

you can update from 21.3 to 22.x it’s been confirmed by the linux mint team

I'm also not a green person. Not my color. Never liked the green either. Glad we are getting a variety of colors.

@@jschudel777 I am also quite pleased with the variety of colors. Linux Mint has really become super solid. When first-time linux users ask me for a distro recommendation, my defacto response is always Linux Mint. 👌

Get a life. Seriously.

Sudo apt install kde-plasma-desktop

@@Milena-ix5mq I know. Just pointed out that I miss it officially supported

@@e002840 I never knew it was supported in the first place 😕 welp, I don't really use Mint, but I also feel disappointed now

Matter of opinion. I like it. I use Mint on 3 PCs at home and it's not modded.

​@@Vlado709 The mint menu is the most hideous out there! I don't understand why they dont use xfce's version of it, a much more compact and eye pleasing

I like the clean look.. only problem is the Firefox icon in the taskbar. Sooooo ugly

For me I use the elegance theme, ultra flat icons and transparent panels to make it look beautiful.

​@@Петар1xfce suck i love cinnamon its like windows

Another one who doesn't understand Linux and BSD!

Downplaying the security of your PC can be easy until the day you sit there trying to salvage whatever you can as you lose control over your entire system. Of course there's also personal responsibility involved, but if you're able to prevent a lot of headaches by having some simple barriers for the average Joe, then it is worth it if you ask me.

​@@DCM777. And your input is useful?

​@@Frozen_Death_KnightI do get it, but at what point is it enough? If a bad actor wants in, short of never connecting to the Internet it's not stoppable. Linux doesn't have very good antivirus to begin with, and since everything is mostly open source assuming you get it from the source where does the unnecessary risk start?

@@squat224 Yup.

Wow, thanks for sharing this! Will definitely avoid those distros.

MX Linux and AntiX are pretty far to the left side of things too.

​@@CaptainYourselfisn't MX neutral? i know the antiX guys work on it but i haven't seen statements directly by MXLinux

@@noot1337 Exactly, the devs work on both. So I don’t trust or support either, regardless if they haven’t made the same public statements or inserted the same c*mmun*st links in the browser as they do on AntiX.

Same here. I use my PC for gaming and movies, with a bit of authoring short books here and there. I only keep Windows around for a handful of triple-A games and use Linux for retro and indie games and movies along with my usual PC stuff.

Mint is forking GTK3 to keep it alive. GTK4 (especially libadwaita) is very GNOME-centric and makes pretty much zero effort to make it a good experience on other DEs
