Mint steers away from snap by default. I like the approach, and Mint 20 Xfce has been an absolute DREAM to install from scratch. Sane basic install, auto-upgrades that lets you choose, possibility to restore OS to previous snapshots and good polish overall. Intuitive and lean interface that lets you mute all notifications.
Currently playing Elders Scrolls Online with Lutris (sorry for the internet downtime, was my first character creation ;). Also playing with minikube and docker to sharpen up some knowledge. All the modern toys easily within reach, making this another year of linux desktop use, only happier with a new nice clean install of a modern solution that mostly works very well. 1 search resolved audio issue for good, everything else was provided from OS.
Something like snap breaks too much of all these community-efforts, that I can only reject it vehemently.
- inetknght 6y ago> Sane basic install I think Mint's installation is too dumbed down tbqh. But, that said, I use Mint on all of the computers that I don't want to spend time to personalize.
- drdeadringer 6y agoI use Linux Mint on all of my home computers. I personalize all of them to my needs and I do not find it hard or difficult or time-consuming. I find the installation process straight forward. Perhaps however you have more intense personal customization needs than I.
- loopz 6y agoJust a hunch, but he probably means disk partitioning, allocating a partition for swap and other such stuff you can customize most easily during installation. It's nice to have excellent options for that, but I seriously don't have that as a deep need right now personally.
