          Could be worse. She calls Debian “Old Ubuntu”.

          IMO Pop_OS matches the definition better.

          I liked the feel of Pop_OS!, the setup and configuration are great, but damned it was unappealing looks wise for me.

            I mean, you can just install another DE on it if the looks is the problem. There’s also System76’s new COSMIC DE coming out somewhere in summer. It should be blazingly responsive as it’s written in Rust and has a GNOME-like UI.

              Yeah I feel like that just defeats the purpose of it though, in that case just install Debian.

              Yeah I am interested in Cosmic DE.

        This issue is going to be fixed with the edge ISO and Mint is way more similar to Windows in terms of UI that helps a lot of beginners to transition smoothly

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
