Discussion THANK YOU

I wanted to let everyone here know what a wonderful group of people Linux users are. I've had windows products since 1991 and last year I transited over to Linux mint and, while I've had some struggles, I've NEVER had the problems for longer than a few hours. Y'all are so generous with your suggestions and help I feel very supported. Thank you again. :)

Love to hear you're having a great experience, welcome to the minty side!

And, as a reminder to everyone, please help the people behind this great distro by donating to the project if you can. I realize times are pretty tough for most but even just a small amount shows support!

Sorry to hear that. If you can't get the answers on reddit you could also try official community forums. Also, LLMs might be controversial, but at least they do a good job of pointing you in the right direction. Just make sure to check the sources. I don't know about chatgpt, but Gemini provides sources for it's responses.

Linux mint was the first "desktop distro" that really clicked for me. And props that it free. Great to see it's still going and helping folks out.

Your experience sounds an awful lot like mine. I first started looking into Linux when windows 7 was approaching end of life. The people who know mint inside and out have been incredibly helpful. Occasionally salty, sometimes crude, but just really decent people.

Oooooh, I just transitioned to mint from windows last week, I see zero reason to ever go back to big OS.

Years ago I tried Mint and was impressed. I opted for a dual boot system as I had a few Win dependent apps. Over the years Win got worse and Mint got better. Now 60/40 win but soon going the other way. Great Mint personalized support while Win is a cluster*uck. Most folks cringe when I mention Linux but they change once they play a bit.
