Very few people have any interest in boycotting big tech, but this is a great way to do it for those committed to doing so.

I have been using Linux Mint 20 with Cinnamon for almost one year.
The astonishing thing is I am using an old Lenovo ThinkCentre with a Intel Core2 Duo chip and 4 sticks of RAM.
The computer was given to me by a computer store at no charge because it had no hard drive. I installed a 500 GB Samsung SSD and bought a new optical drive because the box was missing its original.
The software operates so fast, you can’t believe it.
Windows 10 is a Model T Ford by comparison.
You can take an old throwaway computer and get fantastic performance with Linux Mint.

Microsoft kept bugging me to upgrade my OS, so I did...to Linux Mint. That was 6 years ago. Good call Redmond!

Last spring I decided that my 10-yo laptop was in need of a replacement.
I bought a System76 Oryx Pro. It came with Pop!_OS. I was not fond of the Gnome-based desktop, so I just installed KDE on top of it.
It now boots from power-off to login in about 18 secs.
It's an awesome machine.

Is that the default Icon package? Or is that your custom option? I am going to tease here a bit Linux friend... But those are too loud for me, reminds me of a carnival. :)
But that is the cool thing about Linux and Cinnamon. There are tons of themes and graphics packages to mix and match how you like to customize it. WITHOUT 3rd party apps needed to do it. You can even make your own Icons if you like if you are techy. :)
Thank you for posting this! I downloaded it a couple weeks ago and about ready to give it a test run.
