I agree; Linux Mint 18.3 is solid. So is 18.1. Best OS I’ve ever run. Win 7 was the best Windoze OS.
Just takes a minute to get used to how to load different programs using GUI through “Software Manager”. Easy peasy once done though. Using the terminal is even easy using a simple cut and paste. Don’t even have to know the computer language/code.
Yep, And windows 7 features like drag and drop, right click menus, etc. are all the same. I like using the synaptic package manager it also comes with. It goes and locates application downloads that are not even in the official repository for you if you have the correct name of the application. Isn’t that cool though how linux first checks to see if you are going to need any additional dependencies for an application and then adds these to the download as a packaged download? Cool stuff there... So many times Windows caused me to do two days of investigative research to find the correct additional dependencies when trying to figure out why a program I downloaded would not work. :)
