    No. They are not up to it. It’s the #1 distro on Lemmy and it shouldn’t be.

    To be clear the only distro I hate is Manjaro, mint I only think about when people here remind me it’s popular. Downvote away, your oppinion is meaningless.

    Why? It’s the cold hard truth. Mint was created as an Ubuntu alternative that would be prettier and appear more like windows. It has never had solid corprate backing or even pillars of the FOSS community working on it. It’s a hobby project and not even a unique one anymore. Just use a fedora, buntu, debian or suse spin for new people.

    Im the guy who has to tell all the kids mint is run by volunteers who are not actually up to the task of running a secure OS. It’s not as bad as manjaro but it is not good either. Please stop making this people’s first distro, it’s an ubuntu fork that hasn’t needed to exist since spins came out.
