#also i need a linuxposting tag hold on

I feel like Linuxposting. Let's Linuxpost.

Aka. Lemme just shill for Linux Mint for like a solid paragraphs because I need to scream.

I use Windows for uni (have to use Power BI Desktop for one class), but at the start of the semester, my Monday class teacher would ask us "do you use Windows or are you happy?"

This was a little jab since he's a Mac user. At the time I had my Ubuntu dualboot system. Picked it since I had worked with it before, wasn't the Greatest fan (it would behave weirdly and just close programs due to "memory usage" when I Know it shouldn't be acting like that)

Thing is, my Linux partition is tiny. Attempts at shrinking my Windows were. Not good. Eventually I accidentally broke my Ubuntu install by trying to remove packages I shouldn't.

Reinstalled it, realized it didn't spark joy. Found Linux Mint, switched over.

If I could, I'd nuke my Windows install. It's Just That Nice.

I can customize the FUCK out of it. System font. Icons. Made up filetypes just because. Desklets. Applets.

Felt like "my system" instead of "the system I own".

Originally had a Linux system purely to write fic. LibreOffice felt a lot more freeing compared to Word. Hell, I realized I refused to swear on my fics because it felt like I was being judged. Most of my AO3 fics (barring the very first one) were written in LibreOffice.

Only issue I had was the Burn my Windows extension (and another that made the windows all wobbly) won't make Cinnamon launch properly. Wonder why.

No biggie if y'all have to use Windows as well for X and Y reasons, but whenever I see the GRUB menu, I just ask myself: "am I gonna use Windows, or am I gonna be happy?"
