When Windows 10 will stop serving me, I think i will switch to Linux. I tried it before, multiple times, but never stuck to it. Windows is my comfort zone. But Microsoft is making it into spyware pretending to be an OS and that is my red line. Last time I even tried Fedora, like in the video, but it did not work at all because i chose distribution with some flawed package manager. Next time I think Fedora will be on the top of my list again though.
@KingOfWhiteAmerica @DoubleD @Justicar mint ain't zippy, but it's an honest distro trying to debuntu the buntu and ship a futurist's fever dream of windows xps.
cinnamon is a pleasure worthy of a v for vendetta speech.
only time I ever tried puppy was to live recover an old laptop that was fighting other images. didn't get the best vibe, but it wasn't a sound example. might try it for an experiment again on a more proper system, based off your comment. I like the idea of a snappy lightweight Linux, but haven't been impressed with the tradeoffs on xfce variants of bigger names.

@JollyWizard @DoubleD @Justicar I’ll readily admit Puppy isn’t the prettiest; and it’s much different from more mainstream offerings. It’s definitely filling a niche; which is resurrecting *old* hardware and giving it a new lease on life. But I got familiar with it, so it’s one of my go-to’s, and I like running it on more current systems too.
That said, I doubt established users who’ve already well-rooted themselves in bigger names will have the same appreciation I do. Intermediate-level operators might be fresh enough to enjoy the perspective shift; as some of Puppy’s solutions probably seem pretty bonkers; but they make sense in their niche.

Haven’t tried Mint; hear good things.
