I honestly have this experience with plain Ubuntu, provided I wait at least a month to upgrade (my triple-monitor setup does not play well with brand new releases, but does fine soon after).
I have it running on two laptops (which I never have an issue upgrading) and my desktop and I almost never deal with maintenance, nor do I ever want to anymore.
I've considered Mint, but even just switching to another "Just Works" distro seems like more effort than I'm willing to commit to my desktop.
- pjmlp 9y agoSame here with Ubuntu. I started with Slackware 2.0 back in the day, used all major distros, had a FOSS zealot phase for a few years. Now all my desktop devices run either Windows or Ubuntu.
- KozmoNau7 9y agoI'm sure Ubuntu delivers the same general experience, I just don't like Unity and what they've doing with their DEs in general. Ubuntu MATE may be better for me, but I've found myself very comfortable with Cinnamon, so just like you I am not in a hurry to switch distros :-)
- PeanutNore 9y agoI've been giving Ubuntu MATE a try for a couple weeks, and with the "Redmond" panel style it's pretty much frictionless for me.
