Similar Mint fan. I used Arch for awhile, and enjoyed learning how FDE and other things work (because I had to), but it's nice not to have to.
My only concern with Mint is, what happens when Ubuntu goes away or becomes nonviable as a distro base?
Canonical seems intent on making Ubuntu cool in some area, and even more intent on monetizing Ubuntu, and there's a risk that their pivots, and forward and back steps, could cripple Ubuntu.
- KozmoNau7 9y agoI have wondered about that, and I'm sure the Mint devs have a contingency plan in place (probably convert to being a properly Debian-based distro). If they don't and Mint becomes unavailable or nonviable for some reason, I will find another distro similar to Mint, or simply go back to Debian proper. I don't care much which distro I use, my important files are the same no matter which distro I use to access them.
- honestoHeminway 9y agoI know its a little early, but what are the ubuntu plans for AR?
