A bit of a change for me... geek stuff

I've been using Ubuntu in one form or another since 2010 but I'm not as satisfied with it lately. It's pushing SNAP packaging on everyone and it's just as responsive as I remember. So after trying it out on some of my other systems I've switched to Linux Mint.

Instead of wiping my drive, I just installed a new one and did a clean install. I pulled some files from the old drive with a USB adapter but left a lot of cruft behind. I'll stash the old drive away as back up for the time being as SSDs are cheap nowadays. Installation was smooth and easy.

I like the Cinnamon desktop and the general layout and feel of the system. There's still some stuff I need to tweak but over all, it's been a good experience. If you're frustrated with Windows I recommend switching to Linux Mint.

I went over to Mint several years ago, I've seen no reason to switch although I do duel boot Windows because there's a few programs that I want to use that are windows only. I tried separate partions same drive but keeping Windows confined to it's own drive seems to work best, and as you say, drives are cheap nowadays.
