Old laptop got boosted. Wasn't updated for 6 years. Microslop tried to install Win11, then said buy new hardware, then tried to install anyway. Didn't worked. Zorin OS works great. Will also try out Lint Cinnamon, Cachy, Pop and some Arch.
your PC is monitored and protected
why does that sound like a veiled threat
Fedora+i3 brrrrrr
Is it named after Max Zorin?
Loving Zorin. I have Zorin on my second desktop and mint on my laptop.
Ah yes, Minux Lint. Great distro.
I just wish everything wasnβt upside down. Its very confusing to use the mouse.
If you can't do a handstand, you're not worthy of Minux.
Wait, what?
how is everything upside down? is this some meme I'm unaware of?
Someone misspelled Linux Mint and we're all making jokes at their expense
Just flip your monitor. Ezpz
Nice. Zorin has quickly become my favorite distro. Has exactly what's needed out of the box, caters to practically anyone, smooth and easy to use. They do such a great job.
Zorin is where I landed. Mint was very ugly in my view and the GUI βapp storeβ for it was missing key programs I wanted. Zorinβs has had every program I want to install so far. Mint did βjust work,β but Zorin did too.
FYI You can add more repositories to Mint's manager. I do wish it included more out of the box but I suppose it's faster as-is.
don't bother distro shopping. if it's mainstream and has updated packages the only thing you lose by changing distros is time. almost everything u want can be done in your distro.
I use arch, btw
If you want to game in it, check out Cachy, maybe.
Otherwise, no point distro hopping.
You can check out his the others look/work btw at Distrosea
I just put Linux Mint Cinnamon on an old MacBook and it's running pretty well. I had an SSD that I could use and an extra RAM (total of 3GB now), and it made all the difference. Planning to get two 4GB RAM cards to max it out, yay for old memory that's still cheap.
3gb of ram! woo!
Was running just the 2GB original, original HDD, and LM XFCE, and it "worked", but it was painful.
Great distro! Pretty and most everything just just works.
I got Q4OS on a 20 year old machine. Runs flawlessly
Q4 is amazing at reviving older machines.
Linux Mint is definitely a plus, as it is easy to use and more free than Ubuntu and definitely more free than Zorin. It's also vintage enough to run on older computers just fine, though I recommend MATE or XFCE spin for the RAM poor
