My only complaint about Mint was their themes which I don’t like, but then I found mate-themes in the repository, installed them with synaptic and now have all the traditional Mate themes. I use my favorite TradionalOK. You can’t tell my Ubuntu Mate Desktop from my Mint Desktop now, they are identical.

One of the reasons I love Linux is choice.

Thank you for your great articles.

@James,

I’m glad to hear you’ve had a positive experience with Ubuntu Mate! It’s known for its user-friendly interface and strong community support. Your concern about snaps is understandable, as it’s a topic that has generated some debate in the Linux community.

Mint is a great alternative if you prefer a different approach to software packaging. Ultimately, the choice of Linux distribution should align with your specific preferences and needs.

Happy computing!

One of the best OSs I have ever used. The best forum I have ever seen. As a community-driven OS, it lacks some of the more intrusive elements of standard Ubuntu.

My one complaint that will probably drive me to Mint, is snaps, but all Ubuntu flavors have that too.
