![]() It basically "Just works" to borrow a slogan from another company. I can update my bios thru Gnome Software on Fedora. And it is good, as in fully PC compatible good. It has a proper UI for updates, if that's what you want.Sometimes you even get packages BEFOER Arch, since they are coded by people working on red hat or fedora. Yes it has fixed releases for those core packages, but even the Kernel is rolling, and you are getting them about 3 days after Arch, tops. It is a semi-rolling, or actually "90%" rolling release - Almost everything except some core packages and Gnome is rolling.Be it the Gnome Team, Linus himself, or hardware manufacturers. Arch Linux is ranked 1st while Linux Mint is ranked 13th. Homebrew does not use any libraries provided by your host system, except glibc. When comparing Arch Linux vs Linux Mint, the Slant community recommends Arch Linux for most people. It is the distro and system most developers work on. Homebrew was formerly referred to as Linuxbrew when running on Linux or WSL. ![]() SO, tldr: Fedora is the best of two, or even three, worlds: ![]() Plus I grew out of the "break it for fun" thing. I am also wanting to use my computer, so going even more "raw" (aka LFS, Slack, Gentoo) is out of the question, and Arch. (with a lot of minor distro hops in between in the beginning). So my journey started with Antergos, then pure Arch, then Manjaro, then pure Arch, then Endeavour and then Fedora. I enjoy Linux primarily because I am an old-fashioned computer geek, and Windows (I still dual boot) just keep puffing along so I needed something to give me an excuse to fiddle. I am not in it because it is Open Source, or because it is "Free Like Freedom". It's good for learning but awful if you work installing distros for people, who would take the effort and time to install Arch on companies, for example? Just install openSUSE and disable things you don't want (on the install process you can do it) or even just Ubuntu, after all not much changes in the way the OS operates, in the way the client will work.Quite frankly I am not. On the performance side, I THINK Mint is a bit faster then Ubuntu on extracting compressed files and only on this subject, extracting Left 4 Dead 2's folder (almost 80k items) takes about 10 minutes in Mint, and on Ubuntu it takes about 12.Īrch is just a minimalist distro where you must do everything yourself. Saying Mint is better is the same as saying "I like the tiny 0.01% of the changes made in Ubuntu". They're pretty much the same system, same packages, same repositories. No, you must say "Mint is better in MY little opinion", because it too has flaws, like the Software Manager not reporting a install (Mint 13 and 15), custom login screens crashing, some youtube videos not working because of the Flash version, etc etc.Ĭinnamon is just a DE (and a very slow one, comparing it to KDE for ex), if you don't like Unity you can install other DE's too. PS: Note that I don't hate mint nor like Ubuntu! I'm looking at you, Arch Linux!īring on the flames. It brings some great benefits that some other distros don't have. I'm also really glad Linux Mint is based off of Ubuntu. I like Unity, but not as much as Cinnamon. Why? Cinnamon is sexy, modern and intuitive and green + silver = win. Well, I just wanna say Linux Mint is far better. Originally posted by Zach:The masses who switched to Linux to use Steam and play Steam games are mostly using Ubuntu.
