11. You’re too cheap to buy even a used Mac.
I find it a bit interesting that the source site is “FOSS Mint”. Just noticed is all. :)
I have to admit though that it bothers me that the Mint team is now more concerned with the visual design of the Mint Logo as a priority than they are improving more on the OS. Is it as good and stable as it can get?
While I am a believer in “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”, Mint 19.1 still has a few small bugs that need to be worked out and they should be worrying more about this than the Logo.
Fedora 29 on two desktops and two laptops.
Mate-Compiz. Love the eye-candy whiz-bang effects.
Evolution for email; Firefox for browsing; LibreOffice for documents and such; the GIMP for graphic editing; geany/Glade/GTK3+ for development using any of C/C++/Python; SMPlayer/SMTube (SMTube is a real find; use it on my RasPi3B+’s piping through dl and OMXPlayer which makes that little RasPi my youtube viewer on my living room 4K); postgresql for database; NFS for my network.
It just works.
Also, with all the available gstreamer plugins, can watch DRM protected content (truly only watch the stuff I own) which even my wife’s Win7 and my office Win10 machines choke on.
Exaile for music (have used Amarok in the past, which is very good, too)
It all just works.
