The other minus is that they have a strange kernel/ security/repository management The minus is that it depends on Ubuntu (and never really managed to have a really fluid Debian version) The plus of Mint is that is has a shallow learning curve and pleases newcommers. Mint is also possible, it’s, for now, a de-snaped ubuntu (Snap is centralized & curated by Canonical in addition of been bloated, Canonical has too much financial & technical intrications with M$ in addition). If you have needs of recent packages or kernels, Debian backports will do the job. If you have a Ubuntu experience, Debian will do the job and be rock solid. I add to them some Flatpak & AppImage packages I used Mint and am a daily user of both Manjaro Xfce & Debian Xfce. I’m learning Linux, but I’m no expert yet. Manjaro is a workhorse for me because my needs are pretty simple.
#UBUNTU VS LINUX MINT INSTALL#
I’ve learned to log out and install big updates from the TTY console.
I like knowing I won’t have to update to a new point release as long as I keep up with basic updates and find my comfort zone. I have had the occasional issues, mostly self-inflicted, but the forums here are good about solving my problems.
I’m not very well versed in Linux, but I’ve learned enough to keep my systems updated and I rarely have problems. With Manjaro, I have the software I need with updates coming in regularly. The thing I like about Linux is that it’s not too terribly difficult or time consuming, compared to Windows. The downside is that you’ll need to either possibly risk updating your system to the next point release every year or so or reinstall from scratch. Mint is a fine distribution, but I found myself having to use PPAs or downloading. I’ve learned a lot jumping between distributions before settling on Manjaro.
