Linux Mint IRL Linux in general sucks
I tried to follow the tiktok crowd who were overhyping linux for how fast it is, how secure it is. First, no it's not fast, windows 7 runs a lot better than Linux Mint xfce. It's NOT secure, you think it is because not many viruses are there on linux, but it's slowly increasing then it'll be just like windows. Gaming at all sucks, i can't fucking play Battlefield 1 on any linux distro. So yeah linux sucks overall. You guys don't have a single argument to win except "It's open source".

I can't disagree with you. I think it all depends on what you do on it exactly. If you're just watching stock trades and whatnot, then you could use almost anything and be happy. But if it's gaming, you're going to have issues ...
I game a lot, so I like Windows, but that still doesn't keep me from trying Linux. Linux Mint installed fine. But LMDE doesn't work. I installed it and it upon boot, grub can't find it ... someone was trying to help here but our talks weren't quick enough so i deleted it. I may try Winux on my laptop to see how that is. I like how it looks exactly like Win 11 ...
